Thanks to the Maryland Senior Olympics for a hoot of a track meet today. Finished first in my age category – my first win with the discus since 1974 (insert “Geezer Alert” here). Below is a film clip of one of my throws. I have forgotten what the joke was that spurred my hearty laughter before […]
The Future of Freedom, November 2016 MY BLOWUP AT THE ENVIRO CHECKPOINT by James Bovard As I sat in a seemingly endless line of cars at the Maryland vehicle-emissions check-point, the engine in my 1999 Ford suddenly growled, shuddered, and conked out cold.

One of America’s most pious gun grabbers, former Maryland gov. Martin O’Malley, will announce his presidential campaign tomorrow at 10 a.m. in Baltimore. As Baltimore mayor, O’Malley spearheaded one of the most repressive police campaigns anywhere. There will be a lively protest at O’Malley’s launch by folks who have not forgotten the endless pointless jailings […]
Talk show legend Brian Wilson and I did a postmortem on the Baltimore Riots on his Libertas Media Project podcast today. I was amused by Brian’s opening riff – claiming that Public Policy Hooligan will soon be a made-for-TV movie that includes Buford Porchdog Mulcoskey as Bill Clinton and Trample the Wonder Rhino as Janet […]
