#1 The more I read of Lileks the more I like him. He is definately capable of giving PJ O'Rouke a run for his money.

#2 I agree Lileks is brilliant but a lot of his stuff lacks focus, shifting to Gnat or other topics between pargraphs. He'd be better off with a different post/article on each subject than blurring them. Of course I'm talking about the bleats, his other stuff may be more focused.

#3 I agree with jerseymike that Lileks is good and talented, but he is NOT PJ O'Rourke.

A reader can pick up almost any book written by O'Rourke and be guaranteed more than a few belly laughs coupled with piercing commentary.

I'm thinking Mark Steyn was Canada's answer to America's PJ O'Rourke.

We're fortunate to have all three.

#4 We're fortunate to have all three.

Agreed. Different tools for different jobs, though.
