Officer Goodman is in a different category of human being compared to Donnie and Kim Jong Un.

Deft…and apt. Myth Romney could have been remembered as a greater man than his Dad had he seized the moment he was offered.

He’s not only a hero and self-effacing, he’s got a ton of common sense and has his priorities straight. Not many people understand the double edge nature of fame, especially political fame. He’s putting his family and quality of life first, and it’s hard to argue with that.

Romney has accumulated enough wealth that he doesn’t have to answer to anyone. One wonders why he continues to be such a tool, and in particular such a tool of the plutocrats who are doubtless still controlling the republican party.

Good for him. The tendency for the political class to overdo it is just silly. He got a medal from the goddamn POTUS. What more would ever be necessary?

As if my respect for this man wasn’t already high…it just went through the roof.

What a nice, grounded human being.

In reality, a true hero never believes any of his/her hype.

And people throwing drinks in Fanone’s face should be arrested.

Yeah, I know. But he could be his own man. But he’s not. Which I guess is my point.

One would think that with all that money, Mittens could have had that much-needed spine implant.
