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 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 »
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 »
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 »
http://www.mlgoodell.webs.com The New York Times claims its motto is “All the News That’s Fit to Print,” but when it comes to Conservative strengths or liberal failings, it’s more a case of “We’ll Get Around to it Eventually.” Though not foolproof, (cf. Walter Duranty), the motto does a good job of conveying the editorial staff’s reluctance to print any news that doesn’t fit their particular bias. | Read More »
http://www.mlgoodell.webs.com It’s just a little over a month until the first official contest in the 2012 Republican primary season, which in this i-Pad culture means things should have been wrapped up by now. It’s gone on too long. Why, all the other Reality TV shows, from “Iron Chef” to “Survivor” to “Dancing With the Hollywood Chefs,” are in reruns by now. | Read More »
http://www.mlgoodell.webs.com The President says to. You have to pity the poor kid currently Occupying the White House. He is desperately seeking reelection, not for his own glory, but out of a sense of duty. His Work is not yet done here. His people still need his transformative gifts. Yet it grows ever more difficult to get through to those wayward subjects. They look at his | Read More »
http://www.mlgoodell.webs.com During last month’s bizarrely partisan ambush of Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis), President Hosni Obama (D-Chi) said the Republican budget plan would “end Medicare as we know it.” Since then, Democrats have been demagoging seniors, blatantly lying, and jeopardizing national security, in a naked bid to reclaim control of the House of Representatives. Obviously Ryan’s plan, which isn’t scheduled to begin for ten years, won’t | Read More »
http://www.mlgoodell.webs.com His HuffPo hagiographers notwithstanding, President Barack Obama did not plan the mission to take out Osama bin Laden. And rightfully so. He has no military experience, and therefore, no standing, to directly plan a combat mission. He would have needlessly and recklessly endangered American soldiers’ lives if he had. The sad thing is, his abject supporters had no reason to give voice to such | Read More »
http://www.mlgoodell.webs.com There are few things as disturbing as watching the current administration in full crisis mode. It’s sort of like watching a Charlie Sheen interview, without the underlying sense of competence and class. The administration has been scrambling since that Tunisian fruit vendor lit himself on fire. Granted, these are difficult times, and the stakes are enormous. This is the sort of situation which demands | Read More »
