Shocked, Shocked! By Michael Goodell http://www.mlgoodell.webs.com When President Barack Obama weighed in today on the rapidly unfolding IRS scandal, I was reminded of the classic film, “Casablanca.” “If in fact IRS personnel engaged in the kind of practices that have been reported on and were intentionally targeting conservative groups, then that’s outrageous,” declared the scandal-plagued Obama. “And there’s no place for it.” You may recall | Read More »
http://www.mlgoodell.webs.com Weeks after approving a visit by former Pennsylvania Senator and Presidential candidate Rick Santorum, Grosse Pointe Public School Superintendent Thomas Harwood caved into pressure from bigoted teachers union members employed by his district, and rescinded the invitation. After authorizing the visit, and speech on leadership, Harwood and Grosse Pointe South High School principal Matt Outlaw, were inundated with videos sent by teachers union members | Read More »
http://www.mlgoodell.webs.com Even now, five months after the election, some people continue to ask how it could have happened. How could a nation opposed to nearly every initiative and policy launched during the president’s first term overwhelmingly reelect him? Scholars have searched the records, have amassed data, crunched numbers and scratched their heads, all to no avail. The disconnect was most pronounced foreign policy. It is | Read More »
http://www.mlgoodell.webs.com Watching the president and his minions relentlessly fan the flames of Sequestration panic, my first reaction was, “Does Obama think we’re all complete idiots?” Then the answer hit me. Of course he does, we reelected him. This explains why every day he or his team made another prediction, each more dire than the last. Yesterday Democrat Representative Maxine Walters hit the jackpot when she | Read More »
http://www.mlgoodell.webs.com If, after a decade of relentless growth in spending, you believe that the federal government operates on a bare bones basis, and that even the slightest reduction in the rate of increase must necessarily cause draconian cuts in essential services, then you might be an Obama voter. For the rest of us, the dwindling few still capable of rational thought, such dire threats are | Read More »
Now that President Obama has defeated the dastardly Republicans’ evil War on Women, America has returned to a more normal place, where Democrat legislators in Colorado can lecture women on how to behave while being raped. Thank God–or to avoid offending those not given to bitter clinging, thank the form or being who constitutes the central focus of your particular faith tradition, if you have | Read More »
The Breathtaking Childishness of the Self-Proclaimed Cassandra by Michael Goodell http://www.mlgoodell.webs.com It still being too cold to Reoccupy Wall Street, tens of thousands of baristas and grad students descended upon the nation’s capital yesterday to protest the perpetually proposed Keystone XL pipeline. It was your typical anti global warming protest, “held in biting winds and near-freezing temperatures,” according to Jim Snyder of Bloomberg News. It | Read More »
http://www.mlgoodell.webs.com Hoping this one escapes the scalpel of Redstate’s censors, I submit the following: Some of the few members of the media not currently sifting through past Rush Limbaugh transcripts in search of hints of misogyny have devoted themselves to commenting, either wryly or with a raised eyebrow of perplexity, on the news that neither former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin nor Senator John McCain (R-AZ) | Read More »
http://www.mlgoodell.webs.com Those who have been following the saga of my rhetorical battle with brainless baristas might conclude that the conflict has escalated to outright war when they learn that I marched out of a Starbucks yesterday without completing my purchase. Some suggest a liberal soaking in addictive drugs, others post-hypnotic suggestion, but for whatever reason, to me no coffee tastes quite as good as Starbucks’ | Read More »
Go For Broker by Michael Goodell http://www.mlgoodell.webs.com South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint, the Godfather of the Right Wing of the Republican Party, informed CNN’s Soledad O’Brien this morning that, given the way the primaries are set up this year, it may well be that no candidate will have the 1,144 delegates required for nomination. The way things are going, a brokered convention may prove to | Read More »
