Is Roger L. Simon senile?
From Roger L. Magoo, CEO of the laughably ill-conceived Pajamas Media, we get this gem:
Maybe I missed something, but the “Change” poster behind Barack Obama seems to have, well, changed. (There’s that word again.) The words “We Can Believe In” have been added to the bottom, for the first time acknowledging, pace Orwell, that not all changes are equal (although some changes are more equal than others). Nazi Germany, for an example, was a change. So was Stalinism (although less of change from Leninism). In the I-Ching it is written: “Change/Opportunity.” Were they referring to car salesman… for whom change is indeed a big opportunity. So far Obama is doing a brilliant job of being vague about what “change” he is referring to. “We Can Believe In” is a masterpiece of obfuscation. He has some good writers.
Never mind the odious, cheap and wrong-headed comparisons to Nazi Germany and Stalinism or the inevitable “huzzahs?!” produced by that bizarre car salesman [sic] reference, let’s examine the premise that Obama’s “Change We Can Believe In” slogan has been added recently. You’d think one of new media’s champions, the same doddering old tool who constantly snipes at the MSM for getting their facts wrong, would bother to check if he’d “missed something” before clicking the “submit” button.
Well, you’d be wrong.
The Obama campaign has been using the phrase “Change We Can Believe In” since at least September 19th, 2007 (watch the end of the ad). And if that’s not enough, let’s look back to Durham, NC on November 2nd, 2007:
As the senator spoke, many in the crowd waved signs that read “Change We Can Believe In.”
But remember, George McGovern is the senile one...

Just five days ago, Roger L. Senile wrote:
It was a windy and cold night in Manchester, NH (and I mean really cold - somewhere between zero and minus one) when Roger Simon and Claudia Rosett emerged from the WeDu PR firm where they had just completed a video interview of a surging John McCain. Earlier in the day, at the nearby Segway Plant, they had interviewed the redoubtable Rudolph Giuliani (look for forthcoming video footage of RS aboard a Segway - no he doesn’t fall off). It was time, they agreed, to attempt the trifecta of high profile American politics and head off to…
Hillary Headquarters.
Yes, this would be the same headquarters where not long ago some delusional lunatic had attempted a kidnapping. And, yes, we realized that Hillary would not be there, but what else is there to do in Manchester NH at ten o’clock at night on a Thursday in subzero temperature?
Only one problem ... the “kidnapping” he was referring to occurred nearly 45 miles away in Rochester.
