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 Serious peace advocates are waking up this morning at open air day care centers throughout America. They crawl rumpled and scraggly-bearded from their tents to share a breakfast a breakfast of Lucky Charms and Ovaltine with opportunistic drug addicts. But something is different today. In the wake of the American President’s recent announcement of unilateral surrender in “the War in Iraq,” many of these | Read More »
http://www.mlgoodell.webs.com You used to wonder where they’d gotten to, all though proud hope-and-changers, the ones who bought into the hype, who allowed themselves to believe in the New Messiah, who got tingly legs and called him God, and waited for the seas to stop rising, and for the planet to magically heal itself. It all sounds so silly now, so childish. But then again, we | Read More »
http://www.mlgoodell.webs.com President Hosni Mubarack Obama (D-Chi) has decided to preempt the so-called Congressional Debt Supercommittee by announcing whatever they decide, their deficit reduction plan had better include $1.5 trillion dollars in new taxes. While declaring that his proposal “is not class warfare,” Obama also noted that “Middle-class families shouldn’t pay higher taxes than millionaires and billionaires.” Since the President knows middle class families don’t pay | Read More »
A Stuttering Economy by Michael Goodell http://www.mlgoodell.webs.com The otherwise astute Gerald F. Seib, in a Capital Journal post in yesterday’s “Wall Street Journal,” entitled, “Democrats Have Reason to Be Nervous About 2012,” wrote this curious line, “Economic trend lines have turned downward at precisely the wrong time for a president preparing to seek reelection.” One can’t help which president he is referring to. It can’t | Read More »

http://www.mlgoodell.webs.com Word has it that the Republicans are losing the debt ceiling fight. According to some polls, while most Americans are opposed to raising the debt ceiling, they blame Republicans for failing to raise the debt ceiling. These polls also show that, having voted for Republicans in response to what was generally agreed to be out-of-control spending, the voters are angry at Republicans for attacking | Read More »
http://www.mlgoodell.webs.com The following is an actual transcript from a recent episode of a fictional television talk show. Any resemblance to actual characters or shows is yet another indication of the devolution of American culture. HARDCASE: Good evening, I’m Chris Hardcase, and you’re watching Curveball. Revolution in the Arab world, unrest in the Middle East, a debt crisis in Washington and a meltdown in Japan. We’re | Read More »
http://www.mlgoodell.webs.com Of the many consequences of Bill Clinton’s tawdry two terms, arguably the worst was the denigration of Impeachment to a mere political tactic. If Bill ‘n Hill had come clean about their Whitewater fiasco there never would have been a Special Prosecutor. However, once one was appointed, it was just a matter of time before he unearthed something actionable. Revelations of the President’s sophomoric | Read More »
http://www.mlgoodell.webs.com It’s never a good thing to pity the President, yet it was hard not to while watching his press conference yesterday. The gist of his comments seemed to be his hope that Republicans had finally learned their lesson. Maybe now, after this historic repudiation of the Democrat Party and its leadership, Republicans will stop throwing up road blocks and will start doing what they’re | Read More »
