Why I’m not accepting Tiger Woods’ apology

Posted by Carl Mitchell on Monday, February 22, 2010, In : Celebrity 


“Welcome Back, My Friends, to the Show That Never Ends...”  Emerson, Lake and Palmer.

We all knew it would happen eventually - Tiger Woods has joined the pantheon of celebrities who have made a very public mea culpa for a very private affair.  On February 19, Woods gave a televised speech from the PGA Tour headquarters in Florida in which he apologized for the affairs he admittedly had with several women.  As I watched this public bloodletting it reminded me of the other notables who came ...

Michelle Obama and Sarah Palin: Why can’t they just not get along?

Posted by Carl Mitchell on Saturday, February 20, 2010, In : Media 
In this corner standing approximately 5’11’’ is the first lady of the United States Michelle Obama.  In this corner standing approximately 5’5’’ is the ex-governor of Alaska Sarah Louise Heath Palin.  Mrs. Obama has the height and reach advantage but what ex-governor Palin lacks there she may make up for in persistence.  (Who can forget how long she clung onto the “Pals around with terrorist” line?)  In either case this fight, if we ever have it, promises to be a lulu.  Your r...

Dick – Face the Truth

Posted by Carl Mitchell on Monday, February 15, 2010, In : War on Terrorism 

Of all the cartoon characters from the previous administration I think Cheney is my absolute favorite.  Comical and diabolical all at the same time the man is a walking punch line.  Quick - who stayed stashed away inside a man-sized vault in an undisclosed location for years?  Who looks like “the Penguin” from the 1960’s Batman TV series depicted by the late Burgess Meredith?  Who is the last person you would want to accompany on a hunting trip?  (By the way if you are on a hunting trip...

The Dilemma of Haiti’s Orphans

Posted by Carl Mitchell on Tuesday, February 9, 2010, In : World 

Since the 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti back on January 12 events there and around the world have developed at a staggering pace.  There has been a Telethon which has raised somewhere in the neighborhood of $61 million dollars, ‘We are the World’, has been re-recorded by over 80 celebrities, and of course and many online events such one I participated in – Bloggers United – have been staged.  In contrast to these charitable events, there has also been the callousness of statem...

Michael Jackson: Enabled to Death

Posted by Carl Mitchell on Thursday, February 4, 2010, In : Celebrity 

Well there has been another, albeit not totally unexpected chapter added to the continuing story of the late-Michael Jackson:  His doctor, Dr. Conrad Murray, is now according to Los Angeles law enforcement sources and TMZ, likely to be charged with involuntary manslaughter.  According to both sources, those charges could be filed as early as next week.  Anyone who didn’t see this coming probably would have been so blind as to have not seen the severe psychological wreck that was Jackson –...

About Me

My Humble Opinion is a collection of opinion articles, observations and commentary by me Carl Mitchell.  I am a native Missourian with degrees in English and Journalism.  My political views are mostly liberal except on some issues.  (If you decide to follow my blog you’ll have to guess which ones.)  I have gone from extreme poverty to being one who has bounced back on his feet several times.  That is not to say that my blog will be whiny and humorless.  In fact, I will try to inject some humor into my observations as I lend commentary to today’s issues, trends and current events.  My other articles can be found on Associated Content, here  and here.
