“Paterson pours on the whine”, Ellis Henican Column, amNewYork, December 17, 2010 He’s really Governor Whiney now. You’d think that David Paterson would express some appreciation — perhaps even a little relief — as he screeches to the end of his brief and accidental governorship. Appreciation because no one ever seriously thought of him as [...]
“Rich get richer and the rest of us suffer ”, Ellis Henican Column, amNewYork, December 10, 2010 What a great week to be rich in America! On Monday, President Barack Obama compromised with the Republicans on extending the Bush tax cuts, leaving no millionaires or billionaires behind. By Thursday, a generous estate-tax exemption was heaped onto [...]
“Can’t plug the Wikileaks” ”, Ellis Henican Column, amNewYork, December 3, 2010 Hey, Hillary! Hey, all you flustered generals, ambassadors and government-security chiefs! Protect your own damn secrets. Don’t be expecting the media to keep your secrets for you. That won’t happen anymore, not in the age of WikiLeaks. This week, all of Washington has been [...]
“18 things to be grateful for this holiday”, Ellis Henican Column, amNewYork, November 24, 2010 So many reasons to be thankful, just when we need them most: Be thankful you didn’t plan your Thanksgiving island getaway for lovely Yeonpyeong, South Korea. Be thankful Charlie Sheen only visits New York. Be thankful there are still a [...]
“It’s skin on scan. New airport security measures test self-conscious fliers” ”, Ellis Henican Column, amNewYork, November 19, 2010 There’s a whole new question at the airport this holiday travel season, and it isn’t “Window or aisle?” It isn’t “Checked bags or carry-on?” The latest choice for fliers in the jittery terror age: Would you like [...]
“Bush, Bam go on tours to fix image”, Ellis Henican Column, amNewYork, November 12, 2010 It’s Tour Week for two American presidents: George and Barack have taken their solo acts on the road. What a contrast these two men make. One has a book to sell. The other has an economy to save. Call it [...]
“What we know about elections”, Ellis Henican Column, amNewYork, October 29, 2010 So what will happen on Tuesday? Will Republicans sail across America on a wave of Tea Party passion and Obama fatigue? Or will Democrats mount a final weekend counteroffensive, reminding voters that economic frustration is no reason to revive failed policies of the [...]
“Anniversary now an insincere publicity circus”, Ellis Henican Column, amNewYork, September 10, 2010 I’ve begun to dread these 9/11 anniversaries. Do they really have to come every year? It isn’t just the innocence that was lost that day. That will never be recaptured. It isn’t even the lives that were lost. We have far better [...]
“Mike’s Gutsy Defense of Mosque” Ellis Henican Column, amNewYork, August 6, 2010 The predictable bashing has begun. Mike Bloomberg, defender of religious freedom, is getting plenty of grief for his principled support of what is incorrectly known as the “Ground Zero mosque.” Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, the Wall Street Journal editorial board – their throaty [...]
“From a Tiny Acorn, A Mighty Mess Shall Grow,” Ellis Henican Column, amNew York, September 18, 2009 There is no defending what the ACORN workers did. Why even try? Offering to help a couple of undercover filmmakers set up an underage brothel — that’s just wrong. The workers should be fired, as they have been [...]
