WSPD’s Brian Wilson – a great libertarian radio host – hell, a great radio host per se – is at CPAC this week helping keep an eye on all the damn rascal politicians.
He interviewed me and Jacob Hornberger, the chief of the Future of Freedom Foundation, this afternoon.
On Egypt, I got to work in my “one bastard down, plenty more to go” line, so I was content.
And the audience learned about how Toledo has modified George Carlin’s 7 Dirty Words. In Toledo, there is an 8th dirty word – “monkeys.”

For those who have yet to enjoy the experience: there is nothing like an unbridled on-air conversation with James Bovard, the author who inspired “comes on like a wagon-load of wet goats!”
It’s easier to play Alley-Oop with Jim in person. Setting Jim up for is slam-dunks on Egypt, media coverage, etc.is captured in the pod cast.
During gasps for air, Jacob Hornberger got in some bullseyes of his own.
Unfortunately, such opportunities and few and abbreviated on commercial talk radio.
Next year, I will record our off-air Beer Fest Chats. Jim can make them available here.
Or not!
As usual, always a treat to see the satorially resplendent James Bovard!
PS – Pardon the typos.
And check out Jim in a BLUE OXFORD SHIRT at the http://www.WSPD.com web site.
That alone is worth the price of admission!
Thanks, Brian!
That “wagon load of wet goats” is almost the highest compliment Brian can pay, as long as the guest doesn’t slobber all over the microphone and ruin it for the rest of the day.
Was that an Oxford shirt? It was blue. I suspect it was a Hanseatic design.
Even wore a damn coat and tie the next day.
This thread is awarded -1 for a lack of pictures. How can I believe everything I hear on the intertubes if I can’t see it???
In fact, isn’t it sort of curious how one never sees a picture of Brian and Jim together? The question may well be “which one is the secret identity?”
At least it is easy to tell our hair styles apart.
And who shaves.
Occasionally…
I have always appreciated the low expectations that accompany being a freelance writer.
At least freelance writers get SOME kind of expectations. Try the ones that go with being a lawyer sometime….
You mean aside from the fact that you are supposed to be driving a Porsche Boxster?
How are the expectations different now that you are also a judge?
For one thing, my self-esteem is waaaaaaay up, because I no longer have to tolerate stupid attorneys for at least part of the day. Unfortunately it just makes the REST of the day suck even MORE in comparison. 😀
