Fred Reed
Fred Reed (born 1945 in
Crumpler, West Virginia) is a technology columnist for
The Washington Times, and the author of
Fred on Everything, a weekly independent column. He also writes books and other material. A former
Marine, Reed is a
streetwise police writer, an occasional
war correspondent, and an aficionado of
raffish bars. His work, written in a unique and articulate style, is often satirical and opinionated.
He got his start doing military columns and retired from national syndication to write travel books. He is now back as a columnist.
Reed notes that his columns are often provocative, and calls himself "an equal-opportunity irritant."
Fred's output defies characterization as his articles include those attacking
feminism (generally the proviso of the
right),
George W. Bush (generally the proviso of the
left) and
evolution (generally the proviso of
religious fundamentalists). Many of Reed's articles speak of a yearning for a simpler time, and urge the reader to forgo the pursuit of money and comforts in favor of a cultured life of the mind. Reed is currently living in
Mexico as an American
expatriate.
