Barack Obama's alleged terrorist pal, Weather Underground co-founder and former University of Illinois professor Bill Ayers, did not cease to exist after the 2008 election. In fact, the proud radical is back with a new book,Public Enemy: Confessions of an American Dissident, and a mainstream press tour that's giving right-wing blogs still more reasons to freak out. The actual Ayers, as opposed to his media caricature, is thoughtful and sharp at 68, and remains amused by the rumors he ghostwrote Obama's Dreams of My Father. "Guess who ghostwrote Public Enemy?" he joked with Daily Intelligencer today from a car on the way to the airport. "You'll never guess." (It was him.)
Ayers also held forth on his media diet, the red scare of the NYC mayoral election, and the disappointments of President Obama.
How has this book tour been? You did Morning Joe and some other cable-news programs — do you watch them?
No. Unless you call The Daily Show cable news — I’m devoted. And if you callThe Onion the mainstream media, I also read that. That’s where I get my news:The Onion, Daily Show, and Stephen Colbert.

What else?
My daily dose of the New York Times and NPR. My sons tease us about it — they prefer Truth Out, Daily Kos — but it’s a ritual I’ve enjoyed my whole adult
