Some of you may actually know Bug Jack Baron is the name of a fictional book. I read it somewhere around '69 or '70. I'm not sure exactly when it was written.
It's about how the government is trying to bug a tv show host whose goal was to expose all the crooks and crooked deals in government. His name was of course Jack Baron. They wanted as much garbage on him as they could get so they could put him out of business.
I don't really recall if the guy was more like a lib, republican, conservative or libertarian. But, his did his job quite well.
Every time I watch the Glen Beck show I remember this book. If you like a light, enjoyable read you should try to find this book.
Here's a wiki link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Spinrad
I also just typed Bug Jack Baron into google. It came up with a few places you can order it.
No, I'm not the author.
