Mike Rowe is an interesting specimen.

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.

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,

This is not the first time I noticed that Mike Rowe has a way with words.

Mike Rowe? Belongs here!

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.

Great speech and well worth the watch.

Profoundly disconnected:

Mike Rowe - Full Speech at Opening Ceremony of SkillsUSA's 2013 national conference

I love Mike Rowe and he get's it. He makes this fellow Baltimoron so very proud.

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.

So, I feel you that he’s a hard worker. I do, but in the context of relative privilege…

Melissa Harris-Perry is a charter member of the Alliance of the Perpetually Offended. She is clean evidence of why affirmative action is a complete failure.

As they say: You can fix ignorant. You can’t fix stupid.

He unleashed on Obama a while back too.
I bet he’s conservative.

Really wanted to read the article, but after about three minutes of attempting to load and about nineteen pop ups, malware bytes decided that it didn’t like it.
