Kevin Haley may be mad, but from his madness springs his genius. He has never realized the real power of his satire and parody, the wicked delight and havoc he creates from a wickedly delightful and havoc-draped mind. He simply produces it oblivious to the spinal damage it causes in homo erectus and similar species.

Kevin is the founder, publisher, editor, janitor, copy boy, and hemorrhoid remover of the San Juan Horseshoe, a parody newspaper invented in Ridgway, Colorado, USA, in June 1977. He began life as a nearly normal journalist, but being the scion of a long line of Irish rebels, and quite likely related to Che Guevara's Irish grandfather, Kevin knew what his cousin, Oscar Wilde muttered was true: “Modern journalism, by giving us the opinions of the uneducated, keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community.” And thus Kevin found satirically twisting the news was “more valid than straight news reporting.” Likewise did Mark Twain, who pointed out, “Against the assault of laughter, nothing can stand.”

Kevin assaults us with hilarity. Repeatedly. Year after year. But one day it dawned on him that there was another life besides the harrowing and sordid one led by a publisher/editor. His Muses have lured him out of the confines of the newspaper business and off to the fertile wilderness of Uruguay, where he is currently chasing words, dreams, a new vision, and laughter. Always laughter.

After nearly 30 years, successful years, hilarious years, the San Juan Horseshoe has been mothballed. Kevin has not. He might smell like mothballs on occasion, yet his wickedly delightful mind has sprung worms... errr, we mean wings. He's had an epic brainwash and is clearly on a new journey, walking as normally as ever.



Dip your tongue in for a taste of Kevin's satire!
