About Me

Profile

Michael M. Bates has written a weekly column of opinion - or nonsense, depending on your viewpoint - since 1985 for the (southwest suburban Chicago) Reporter Newspapers. Additionally, his articles have appeared in the Congressional Record, the Chicago Tribune, the Chicago Sun-Times and the Mensa Journal. He has been a guest on Milt Rosenberg's program on WGN Radio Chicago, the Bruce Elliott show on Baltimore's WBAL, and the Jim Sumpter show on the USA Radio Network. As a lad, Mike distributed Goldwater campaign literature and since then has steadily moved further to the Right. 

He is the author of "Right Angles and Other Obstinate Truths."   In 2007, he won an Illinois Press Association award for Original Column.
