Fire Roy Edroso!

Well, maybe not fire him.

Lay him off like some of the others at the Village Voice.

See Foster Kamer, at The New York Observer, "Layoffs Hit Editorial Staff at The Village Voice":
Layoffs are hitting the editorial staff at The Village Voice today, and they’re hitting some of the most widely-read staff writers in the office. The Observer has heard from multiple sources familiar with the situation that the bad news is beginning to spread around the office, and that the following people are out at the Voice:

Camille Dodero (Staff Writer), Steven Thrasher (Staff Writer) and Victoria Bekiempis (Staff Writer), and we also heard Araceli Cruz was cut to part-time status. Cruz, who has been with the Voice since 2007, is a senior associate editor who works on both event listings and features across the paper.
Yeah, well, add the idiot Edroso to the list, the freakin' progressive creep.

Oh, and the publishers didn't even tell the laid off staffers in person. Homosexual staff writer Steven Thrasher was locked out at the website along with some of the others. See BuzzFeed, "How Management Killed “The Village Voice”."

We'll see, but perhaps Roy "Bikini Burlesque" Edroso's getting locked out as well. No word at Alicublog, and Roy's last Village Voice column is here, "Rightbloggers Rejoice as Ryan Revives Romney, Reaganesquely."

Check back for updates on the creep. I'll be happy to post the news of Roy's firing, the dirtbag.

More from William Jacobson, "The Village Voice is dead, long live Nat Hentoff." (Via Memeorandum.) And see Jim Remenesko, "VILLAGE VOICE ON THE VERGE OF COLLAPSE?"
