I am sometimes criticized for being excessively harsh on George W. Bush. I want to take this opportunity to make it clear that I don’t blame the president for everything. This Arizona abuse apparently has nothing to do with the White House or the war on terrorism. Except unless that local fire department received a […]

I will be on the Gardner Goldsmith show today (Tuesday) at 1 p.m. You can listen live, or dial in to WNTK and affiliates in the New Hampshire/New England area.

FFF uncorks my piece on the Federal Farming Takeover

Reason magazine runs my hit on TSA Killers & Apologists

The feds falsely claimed that Rigoberto Alpizar had run down the aisle of the plane shouting about having a bomb before G-men plugged him. Unfortunately, the media has almost completely ignored this […]
Subversive Ideas Migrate to Brazil
My Newsday piece on mass ignorance vs. American democracy was translated into Portuguese and published in the third-largest newspaper in Brazil. The piece was reposted at this Brazilian blog. Perhaps Brazilians have more interest in ignorant Americans than do many Americans. I hope my article does not do anything to cause the average Brazilian to […]
