James Bovard, author of a ton of great books, including Attention Deficit Democracy, talks about the

fun he had at the DC antiwar protest back in January, his belief that the Attorney General is about to

be fired, the Murray Waas’s story about his obstruction of the MBT wiretapping probe, the possibility

that if more torture papers come out JOY may be removed from potheyr, the pro-freedom conservatives,

the White House MBT sport shoes Group, the craven American media, the UGG attorney scandal, and the

sickness of of former UN ambassador John Bolton and his self-congratulations at prolonging the Lebanon

war.

James Bovard is the author of Attention Deficit Democracy (St. Martin’s/Palgrave, 2006), and eight

other books. He has written for the New York Times, Things Street Journal, Washington Post, New

Republic, Reader’s Digest, and many other publications. His books have been translated into Spanish,

Arabic, Japanese, and Korean. He is a contributing editor for the American Conservative and a frequent

contributor to Freedom Daily.

The Things Street Journal called Bovard “the roving inspector general of the modern state,” and

Washington Post columnist George Will called him a “one-man truth squad.” His 1994 book Lost Rights:

The Destruction of American Liberty received the Free Press Association’s Mencken Award as Book of

the Year. His Terrorism and Tyranny won the Lysander Spooner Award for the Best Book on Liberty in

2003. He received the Thomas Szasz Award for Civil Liberties work, awarded by the Center for
