Thanks, mythusmage, that’s good to know if I’m ever caught in a nuclear winter and all of the toothpaste has been eaten.

Did a Kartoo for ‘roger’. No sign of a Roger L. Simon on the first page of the main map. Nor any Roger L. Simon in the topics. Roger Moore and Roger Zelazny, but no Roger Simon. Rog, you can feel humble again.

A Mooter produced one link that I could find. You need to check out the ‘roger’ cluster, followed by the ‘by’ cluster. “Roger L. Simon” being the first link on that page.

Now you have more ways to go ego surfing.

Sorry, but there’s another unsavory Franco, Franco. There once was something called “Franco Spaghettios” which were like the “bayonets and blood regime” of the canned food world.

If they still exist, I don’t want to know.

That would be FrancoAmerican. The main competitors to Chef Boy-ar-Dee. The products are still around, now under the Campbell label (same folks who produce the soups. Campbell also produces a line of canned chili.

I take it you had a bad Spaghettios experience one time.

A couple of points. So often one hears the BBC assess itself by saying, since we are criticized from both Left and Right that means we are doing the job correctly. This report thoroughly debunks that pathetic excuse.

Heh.

I do find it interesting that the report borrows the Thornburgh language of “no intentional bias.” Seems like the bar has been raised incredibly high as to what now constitutes intentional bias ?or perhaps that’s a scourge reserved solely for conversatives and Israelies. We’ll see.

But be that as it may, what it seems to be saying is that liberal superciliousness so overwhelms the mental functions of these reporters and the entire BBC staff, that they are unable even to recognize the extent to which they hopelessly mired in liberal groupthink. Which more or less translates to: given the nature of things, they’re too stupid and have too little perspective on the world to understand just how biased and agenda-ized they are.

Really it’s like Rather and Mapes all over again.

If they still exist, I don’t want to know.
