Now here is a worthy day of national commemoration and observance —  Government Blowback Day —  this September 11th.  And speaking of blowback, if you have not yet read Chalmers Johnson’s latest book, Dismantling the Empire:  America’s Last Best Hope, you are in for a real treat.  Johnson, author of the outstanding Blowback Trilogy (Blowback, The Sorrows of Empire, and Nemesis) has written yet another masterpiece of incisive analysis and republican virtue.  Buy yourself a copy, along with Bruce Fein’s powerful, American Empire:  Before the Fall.  The grim ghost of Garet Garrett would be pleased.

The Best of Charles Burris
