Mark Crispin Miller is the author of The Bush Dyslexicon, a searing look at the Dauphin's malaprops and what they reveal about his real feelings, and more recently, Cruel and Unusual, about the innate anti-Americanism that underpins Bushco's motivations and actions. He also wrote and performed the one-man show "A Patriot Act", an 80 minute tour de force that blew me away when I first saw it.

In this August's Harper's cover story "None Dare Call It Stolen", he takes on the monkey business of Ohio's presidential election shenanigans, and just when everyone thought all those wacky conspiracy theorists the left likes to pretend don't really belong to us had gone to ground for good, here comes Mark with the damning truth. If you haven't read it, get it.

But whether you have or not, if you're within listening distance of NPR station WHYY (90.9) you have a chance to listen to him talk about this and other things dear to our hearts on Marty Moss-Coane's great show Radio Times this morning at 10:00 a.m. If you can't get it where you live, don't despair. Check in on the website later today and hear it via internet in the archives, or if you're more techhie than me, listen in via your iPod. It's all at the website.
