Shorter Roger L. Simon

Above: “…and here’s a new one I like to call ‘Fly, Self-Pitying Seagull.’” Blacklisting Myself: Will the New York Times review my book and do I care? The New York Times won’t review my book, which is yet another data point confirming my general thesis about the fundamental intolerance of the Left that fears and […]

Shorter Roger L. Simon

Bobby Kennedy and Why Obama Unnerves Me Both Bobby Kennedy and Barack Obama let people speak Mexican at their campaign rallies, which made me feel like I was in some crappy little village in Mexico, eating greasy goat burritos and listening to someone running for caudillo. ‘Shorter’ concept created by Daniel Davies and perfected by […]

 

Oh God No

Perhaps the worst music video ever made. HAZMAT disclaimer: “Starring Pat Boone, Directed by Roger L. Simon”. Cliff May gives it a thumbs up. I watched it all the way through. My retinas are bleeding, and I just know my DNA has already begun to mutate. Tell my girlfriend I love her. Goodbye, Sadly, No.

 

Freud, Much?

Roger L. Simon: Nevertheless, Mark Sanford’s out-of-control Father’s Day jaunt to Buenos Aires is particularly ill-timed, not just because of the obvious disrespect to his wife, children, friends, citizens of his state, political party, etc. Reason: IRAN. At this moment, the eyes of this country should be fixed on the horrific events coming from that […]

He went to a town in which plenty of blingnuts live and thrive, and all Roger L. Simon got was this lousy self-pity (not to mention geenormous persecution complex): It’s no surprise that Moses Whine’s fellow Yoostabee Michael (‘The J. Stands For Jackass’) Totten has already breathlessly blurbed it in comments, thanking Simon for writing […]

 

Fadge Thee Well, Fain Thesaurian

The Empire Strikes Back by Joe Malchow on May 21, 2008 Whatever the varying definitions of “overreaction,” one must undoubtedly be the debauching of a governance system, tested by the centuries and manifestly contributory to the weal of the organization it controls, because the last three or four elections have not fadged quite as one […]

 

When Wingnuts Last In The Dooryard Bloom’d

ABOVE: PJ Media Poet LaureateRoger L. Simon Barack Obama’s speech on his pastor and church got Roger L. Simon so worked up that he composed something he calls a “poem” but that you and I might call pathetic drivel parading around as a poem. And unlike, say, the poems of Emily Dickinson, Simon’s poem can’t […]

 

Bullshit The Blue Sky

Sometimes, I spend hours and hours assessing a particular right-wing blog entry, rigorously deconstructing it to create a hilarious yet brilliant analysis of the flawed propaganda of the conservative ideologue. Other times I just drink half a bottle of Herradura and flit around the blogosphere until I find something to throw up on. This is […]
