Moral Equivalency

If you want to talk about the perversion of religion, don’t pervert the facts.

I don’t like MSNBC. Typically. But this rant is spot on. That he knows that history shows the Crusades were largely in response to Muslims brutally taking over their lands is amazing to me. That whoever wrote President Obama’s speech didn’t know this astounds me.

This is something I shared on Facebook earlier today. Yet we are frequently reminded by history revisionists that the Christians committed atrocities such as the Crusades. While atrocities certainly happened, as with any war, it doesn’t come close to comparing to the Hell reaped by the Muslims across Europe that they were trying to stop.

Toyota’s “My Bold Dad” Super Bowl Ad

It’s seldom that you see men in a competent position on television. Most television shows and commercials portray us as barbaric fools, disconnected parents, or worse. So it’s nice to see a commercial so touching and against the trend. Dads, you are important.

More like “Not with Dad,” this ad shows an absentee father missing out on his son’s childhood. But his son is happy when he shows up with his new car at the end. So all Dad’s hard work in life paid off, didn’t it?

Parks and Recreation on Parenting: Helping Your Children Through Lies

Beautiful deleted scene from Parks and Recreation. Wyatt reveals that he’s been sneaking vegetables into Leslie’s waffles for years. Maple seeds! Reminds me of the three years that my wife— then fiancée— thought that cars needed blinker fluid. And then my mom ruined it. My dad was so proud of me and my wife was so mad. Still doesn’t think cars need break fluid.

I jokingly said to my coworker this morning that everyone in the world sent this to me this weekend, though it was more like a dozen or so. I’m an archer and this is awesome. Mildly dorky, but the guy is definitely talented.
