On today's flagship Lions of Liberty podcast, Marc is joined by the great libertarian columnist and author, Jim Bovard! Jim is the author of many books including Public Policy Hooligan and Attention Deficit Democracy, and his writing has appeared in numerous publications including USA Today, The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Playboy, Washington Post, New Republic, Reader's Digest, and many more!  Jim starts off describing how his predilection for open spaces made him keenly aware of government interventions, and how Watergate further solidified that the government is a 'damn rascal', leading him to libertarian ideas. Jim explains how he's managed to wedge himself into the mainstream media despite his contrarian ideas and tendency to piss of the heads of federal agencies, and Marc and Jim bond over their mutual disdain for the TSA.
