Of Mirth and Mules

Since we’ve been in the midst of a rather serious stretch lately, what with detailing the baseball players who’ve made us cry and planning a new piece on the prospects of various hosers for the GOP presidential nod in 2012, it is high time to hearken to another great thrust of Goose Radio. Mules. Well, not exactly, but the poem regarding mules that will soon follow will allow you to partake in one of said thrusts. Boy, the word ‘thrust’ is something. Point being, this is going to help you experience mirth. This mirth will draw you nigh to a general sense of well being.

It is a poem, and it was written by the late, great Josh Billings, the American humorist. It’s called (aptly) “Essa on the Muel”, and we proffer it to you today for the mirth we believe it will elicit….

Our 10 Most Loathed Modern Major Leaguers

Palin Overplaying Her Hand in Kerfuffle with Letterman

Even in the unpredictable annals of political discourse, you could hardly expect it. A zealous Conservative youth coming to the defense of a sardonic liberal who recently mocked one of the most prominent and popular Republican leaders in the land? Alas, as the British troops indicated with their music choices upon their defeat at the hands of Yankee colonials and French folks in Yorktown all those years ago… the world is indeed turned upside down.

Last week late night funnyman and renowned leftist David Letterman took several shots at Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. He dedicated his renowned top ten list to her recent trip to New York City.

Injured Limbs, Leftists & the Meaning of Life – TWG 28

Alex Whitworth joins us to gague and explore the heartbeat of the 20 something. Whitworth claims that recent supreme court appointee Sotomayor’s recent leg injury and financial distress will only increase her level of empathy for injured people and poor financial managers.
