PRI’s 2005 Gala event

Last night was the Pacific Research Institute’s annual gala dinner featuring Ambassador Howard Leach and satirist PJ O’Rourke. Around 450 people attended the event and listened to Ambassador Leach’s commentary on his time in France and what it will take to solve the social crisis that’s caused recent rioting. PJ O’Rourke was funny as ever, with a choice line being that “Muggers are freelance politicians — they only steal from some people.”
