The Moonies have just trumpeted the latest delegation of their dreaded leader, Sun Myung Moon, to the Bush presidential library in College Station, TX. The occasion: a statesmanlike party Moon was throwing in D.C., from April 28 to May […]
Thanks to Australian public radio and host Rachael Kohn for having me on today to discuss Bad Moon Rising, my fun new book about the Moonies, the cult of the Capitol.
