This week, a guest we've been chasing a long time finally makes his Ricochet Podcast debut: the great P.J. O'Rourke stops by to discuss on the health care debacle, improving the GOP's message, making a living as writer, Lou Reed, and New York City in the (so-called) Golden Age. Also, the return of Rob Long and Dave Carter reminisces on (what he can actually remember of) the now legendary Vegas meet-up.

Note: we apologize for the lack of a live stream of this week's show. We'll figure out what went screwy and have it fixed in time for next week's show.

Music from this week's episode:

Sweet Jane by The Velvet Underground
