Ed Anger dies

August 7, 2007 By pia

I’m madder than Batman with a run in his tights.” Or: “I’m madder than a gay football hero on a date with the homecoming queen.” Or his favorite: “I’m pig-biting mad.”

I will miss Ed Anger though I hadn’t read him in many years. It was good to know that he was there. On one project I managed we had daily theme breaks. Monday afternoon somebody read Ed Anger’s column, outloud, in The Weekly World News

It evolved into a quasi-test I had for employees on other projects who wanted to work on this one. If they thought Ed Anger or any part of the paper was real, they didn’t make it.

Today there are too many for-real Ed Anger’s to count, not that I would want to. it’s sad that a person based on real pundits during Viet Nam was once seemingly outrageous and today seems quaint.

Thanks Michelle Malkin, Bill O’Reilly and all the rest for being sicker than Ed Anger could ever be. Once more reality trumps satire.

    I know not of what you speak, but I’m angry.

    Once more reality trumps satire.

    Once again Pia Savage weaves the perfect line.

    Not that you live in a web or anything.

    It’s just a figure of speech.

    As in, you’re clever.

    See? This is why I don’t do satire.

    Ain’t that the bitter truth! We used to laugh and laugh about Ed Anger, now I cry and cry about O’Reilly and Malkin.

    Now may we hear your opinion of Keith Olberman, Jonathan Chait, and the Daily Kos?

    Lol, good commentary. I’m actually sad that the WWN is dead. The way media’s been going these days…

    Ed Anger, at least, was fake, a parody. I dunno. One day, I figure Malkin will be caught without make-up…and be revealed to be…

    RuPaul???

    Oh wait.

    That’s Ann Coulter.

About Me

I live in the South, not South Florida, a few blocks from the ocean, and two blocks from the main street. It's called Main Street. Amazes me too.

I'm from New York. I mostly lived in the Mid-Upper East Side, and the heart of the Upper West Side. It amazes me when people talk about how scared they were of Times Square in the 1970's and 1980's.

As my mother said: "know the streets, look out and you'll be fine."

What was scary was the invasion of the crack dens into "good buildings in good 'hoods." And the greedy landlords who did everything they could to get good tenants out of buildings.

I'm a Long Island girl, and proud of it now.
Then I hated everything about the suburbs. Yet somehow I lived in a few great Long Island Sound towns after high school.
