Neal Boortz kindly had me on his talk show this morning. He had generous words for Lost Rights (1994) and gave a good push to the new paperback edition of Attention Deficit Democracy.

Bush Sabotages Iranian Democracy Advocates
1:28 pm | Attention Deficit Democracy | Bovard | Comments: 12
The New York Times Magazine has a good piece today on how the Bush team has boarhawged Iranian democratic reformers.
It doesn’t matter that Bush’s intervention has worked out disastrously for Iranians working on the side of curbing dictatorship.
All that matters is that the Iranian government response to U.S. intervention creates new pretexts for Bush to [...]

Peter had me on his show when the Bush Betrayal came out and we had a rowdy good time. I expect there will be some fun plinking [...]
Ron Paul on Not Attacking Iran
3:57 pm | Attention Deficit Democracy | Bovard | Comments: 20
The House of Representatives has been whipping up war fever this week - helping the Bush team create pretexts for nuking Iran. Bush has as much right to kill Iranians as I have to kill my neighbor’s dogs - i.e, not a whiff. If Bush does attack Iran, the carnage could make the bombing of [...]

Ford’s Legacy: Lawless Government
10:20 am | Bovard | Comments: 29
The Future of Freedom Foundation today posted online my piece from the March 2007 Freedom Daily on Gerald Ford.
And to think that I actually passed out a few leaflets for that guy in 1976, back before my conversion to Cynicism…… I still recall sitting in a bar in Blacksburg, watching a Ford-Carter debate with other [...]

Bravo Judge Walton!
1:12 pm | Attention Deficit Democracy | Bovard | Comments: 48
Will there actually be some justice rendered to a Bush administration top dog?
Federal judge Reggie Walton ruled today that convicted felon Irving “Scooter” Libby must begin serving his prison sentence within the next several weeks.
This will send the NeoConservatives and other pro-war types into Full Indignation/Rage. They will redouble the pressure on Bush to pardon Libby before [...]

Paperback Attention Deficit Democracy Hits Stores This Week
12:58 pm | Attention Deficit Democracy | Bovard | Bush | Elective Dictatorship | Comments: 8
The paperback version of Attention Deficit Democracy arrives in stores this week.
Hmmm…. Re-reading that…. Maybe I should say, “According to credible sources, the paperback version of A.D.D. is scheduled to arrive in stores this week.”
I have to be careful, since many people assume that I blindly trust anything a publisher says.
I will be curious what folks [...]

Ellsberg: The Washington Media Has Always Groveled
3:22 pm | Attention Deficit Democracy | Bovard | Comments: 29
I had the pleasure of chatting with Daniel Ellsberg, who risked his career and freedom by releasing the Pentagon Papers in the early 1970s, over the last few days. His speech at the Future of Freedom Foundation conference was superb. Karen Kwiatkowski declared that the last 7 minutes of his speech should be put up on YouTube.com [...]
