Newsday published an op-ed of mine today on how ignorance is subverting democracy and liberty. Some people may dispute the porn ratio in the piece; my hunch is that the number errs significantly on the low side. The article is being distributed nationwide by the Los Angeles Times/Washington Post syndicate, so it may pop up in […]

Thanks to Sunni Maravillosa!
Sunni Maravillosa, probably the most optimistic freedom advocate out there, wrote a very informative, generous review of Attention Deficit Democracy at her zesty Sunni’s Salon. (Other parts of her February issue make my book look Presbyterian prim, if not proper). Sunni commented, “Bovard… is one of very few journalists who are both pro-freedom and willing to dig… The […]

From 1942 through 1945, the U.S. government consistently deceived the American people about the character of the Soviet […]
L.A. Times: Are You a Suspected Terrorist?
The Los Angeles Times ran my op-ed today on the array of wacko definitions of suspected terrorists that the Bush administration has devised since 9/11. Here are some outtakes of the piece: PRESIDENT BUSH and Atty. Gen. Alberto Gonzales insist that the National Security Agency’s warrantless wiretapping of American citizens is a necessary “terrorist surveillance […]
Bush Now Entitled to Kill at Home?
The February 13 issue of Newsweek reveals that President Bush is entitled to order killings here in the United States, the same as he has been doing around the globe for the last few years.
