Mark W. Bradley is a teacher of American History and English Literature, and a sixth generation Californian. He has been a progressive and an activist since 1968, when he campaigned for Senator Eugene McCarthy even before he was old enough to vote. A draft resister during the Vietnam War, Bradley focused in the 1980’s on the issue of nuclear disarmament, serving on the Board of Directors of Sacramento Nuclear Weapons Freeze Initiative.
He claims to have voted in every presidential election since 1972, but is pretty sure he’s never voted for a winning candidate.
In early November of 2004, Bradley underwent a remarkable transformation - from harmless political junkie, to paranoid lunatic, to sardonic satirist - all in the span of about 36 hours. He credits Karl Rove with catalyzing this near catastrophic personality meltdown.
Mark W. Bradley has published satirical articles in Buzzflash, Online Journal, Democratic Underground, The Smirking Chimp, Dissident Voice, Scoop New Zealand and Axis of Logic. He is a frequent contributor to his daughter Mollie’s Seattle-based blog, Liberalgirlnextdoor.blogspot.com. He and his wife Noralee make their home in Sacramento.
