Jonathan David Morris
As announced, today is the start on my Op-Ed page of a new syndicated top column: "JDM vs the World" is a weekly column, published pretty much every Tuesday. From politics and current events to issues of culture and idiocy, when JDM laces 'em up it's no-holds-barred and no topic out-of-bounds ~~ so keep your hands up and protect yourself at all times.
Jonathan David Morris is a political satirist based in New Jersey. A strong believer in small government, JDM often takes aim at oppressive taxes, entitlements, and laws, writing about incompetence at the highest levels of culture and government. Headstrong, stubborn, and fearful of tyranny, you can catch his weekly ramblings at Read JDM and his column "JDM vs the World" also on BUTTERBACH.NET and EXTERRITORIAL.NET.
Jonathan received an Award for Exceptional Writing in 2000 from Monmouth University Department of Communication, and earlier, in 1997, the Monmouth University Honors Program Paper of the Year award. His work is syndicated in print by The Aquarian and online by, at the moment, twenty distinguished websites. His radio appearances are with WGHT 1500 AM North Jersey
The non-American, but English reading, visitors of this site (whether they are the largest or only the second-largest group among my audience, is difficult to decide on the basis alone of what my log files reveal) should be aware of the following. Sometimes they may not be able to follow every detail of Jonathan's articles. But with such a rich diet, they will have had enough to eat if they swallow only part of the varied menu offered. There is a reason for this. Let us hear the author himself explaining:
"I am, indeed, aware that my writing is tailored to an American audience. I tend to focus on the American news scene because it's the scene that I know. But I also do it because I feel the libertarian concepts I talk about aren't going to be understood by most people unless I relate them to everyday events. So that's what I try to do.
Of course, I also make a lot of references to American pop culture. I do this because I am first and foremost a storyteller, and as such I like to think of myself as a keeper of the modern American cultural tradition. Maybe people will read my articles 100 years from now, maybe they won't. But, if they do, I want to provide them with as much context as possible."
