“My take Lenny, for what it’s worth, is that there is no longer a limit to what people can be offended by,†Rowe responded.
“This business of conflating hard work with forced labor not only minimizes the importance of a decent work ethic, it diminishes the unspeakable horror of slavery,â€

MIke Rowe is excellent. The only “celebrity” whose writing I try to follow.

I have no complaint about being recorded, and I have no doubt that I signed a release of some kind. But had I known then that my impromptu observations on the nuances of oral lamb castration would be viewed by more than two million people around the world, I might have put some more thought into my “presentation.” And had I been told that past speakers included former presidents and Nobel Prize winners, I might have drunk less wine before taking the stage.
Seems to be a cool guy.
I learned this from an earlier thread on Mr Rowe:
Rowe sang professionally with the Baltimore Opera. He says about this job, “I joined the opera to get my union card and meet girls. I was a saloon singer, so I went down to the Baltimore Opera and learned an aria and auditioned. I figured I’d do one show and quit. But the girls were everywhere and the truth is, the music was really decent.
From wiki.
This is not the first time I noticed that Mike Rowe has a way with words.
I thought that was a perfect response to her.
Or, at least, he ought to be.
JMHO.
I’d toss Trump over for Rowe in 2.2 milliseconds.
Cruz? Might take a bit longer...
One either works for a living or they sponge off others. There is no alternative.
Sometimes when you fire a salvo of torpedoes every one of the hits.
He probably is...
That recording reminded me of Mike Royko rather than Mike Rowe and it was by GOD, entertaining
Thanx Thack ... and thanx, Mike Rowe !
I wouldn’t doubt it in the least!

I love Mike Rowe and he get's it. He makes this fellow Baltimoron so very proud.
MSNBC LADY? That’s code for dumbass right?
Read this last week. Mike Rowe is awesome. Don’t know anything about his religion, or whatever, but his common sense writing is fantastic!
True.
Unfortunately, Mike leaves out the economic slavery of the DEM party (with the aid of the GOP) of ~120T+ in deficit/unfunded liabilities; let alone the programs and promises that got ‘us’ here are just as illegal and unconstitutional AS slavery.
Still, Mr. Rowe is a bigger man than most for putting the point out there.
Is she six?
Mike Royko !
Having spent most of my life in suburban Chicongo, I remember him well!
Near the end he said something unacceptable about one of the protected classes; then he was gone.
