I haven't seen "The Interview," but a good number of others have - including HitFix's resident movie critic Drew McWeeny, who called the film "laugh out loud funny all the way through" in his review. I don't feel totally equipped to make some grand statement on Sony's move to entirely cancel the release of the film after the hackers (ironically operating under the moniker Guardians of Peace) threatened deadly terrorist attacks on theaters that chose to screen it, but plenty of others have chimed in in the hours since news broke of Sony's unprecedented decision. So what are people saying? A lot of things, but the overriding sentiment online - summed up as "You're letting fear/the terrorists/the hackers win" - is beginning to sound a little reductive in light of a political and business situation that is extraordinarily complex. Believe it or not, there are a range of...

New York Post opinion columnist Michael Goodwin appeared on Fox & Friends on Wednesday morning to weigh in on the news that the Department of Justice secured two months of phone records of the Associated Press without their consent. He said that the media has been President Barack Obama’s most important constituency. Now that he’s angered them, and because “he has no real friends” in Washington, the president is now in real trouble.

New York Post columnist Michael Goodwin joined Fox & Friends host Gretchen Carlson on Monday to discuss his latest column in which he laments how the Democratic party has become “intolerant” of opposing views. Goodwin said that President Barack Obama’s administration’s response to criticism about the handling of the Libya attack and Vice President Joe Biden’s behavior during his debate against Gop vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan are reflective of a modern Democratic party that does not abide dissent.

Economix
By Michael Goodwin and Dan E. Burr
304 pages, $19.95, Abrams ComicArts
Having never taken economics in college, I find the world of high finance needlessly complicated and confusing. You spend what you need to make a good; you sell it for a reasonable profit. Repeat. The problem, though, is that the world makes it far more complicated to determine how those goods are made or what a reasonable profit might be. And as globalization has altered the way everyone on Earth lives and works, things have grown ever more complex.
Thankfully Michael Goodwin saw the need for a basic primary on how the economy currently works and how we got here. Better, he decided to really make it easy to follow thanks to using the comic format, hence the graphic novel Economix. Nicely illustrated by Dan E. Burr, best known for Kings in Disguise, the book from Abrams starts off...

I’m writing this just back from the dentist, from which a friend had to pick me up because the dentist gave me drugs. I couldn’t be trusted to get myself home, even though that involved taking an elevator to the building entrance and getting a cab. And my dentist may have had a point. When my friend came to pick me up, I talked her into buying shoes with blue sequins on them.
So this will be a little bit scattered. However, you, the reader, are probably online to see The Dark Knight Rises, so we most likely share a mental state. Let’s not take ourselves too seriously.

New York Post columnist Michael Goodwin appeared on Fox & Friends on Monday where he blasted senior Obama campaign advisor David Axelrod for attending counter-terror meetings and possibly leaking the results of those meetings to the New York Times. He says that Axelrod’s leaks are intended to make “the President look good,” and sacrifices national security in order to advance Obama’s reelection prospects.

New York Post columnist Michael Goodwin appeared on Fox & Friends to discuss the increase in food stamp recipients and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s refusal to allow New York City to fingerprint residents who receive nutritional assistance to root out fraud. Goodwin said recipients of food stamps have ballooned while barriers to entry into the program have decreased; as a result, the “the sense of shame” among entitlement recipients is gone.

New York Post columnist Michael Goodwin appeared on Fox & Friends on Monday where he blasted Congressional Democrats for “voting to defund the New York police department” due to what he describes as a persistent narrative that the NYPD has been targeting and profiling Muslim citizens without probable cause. He says that this move by Democrats in the House runs counter to the narrative that President Barack Obama is building up ahead of the November election, which is that Democrats are tough on terrorism at home and abroad.

Yesterday, NY Post columnist Michael Goodwin suggested that the Obama Administration had a specific agenda in mind when coming up with the logo for the Nuclear Security Summit, claiming the "crescent-like design of the logo (was) not a coincidence, especially at an event where Iran's nuclear ambition and al Qaeda's search for a bomb are prime topics." This meme was picked up by Fox and Friends and right of center website Free Republic.
