Another classic (and classy) Mike Rowe take down of a self-righteous, pseudo-pedantic moron. :)

I read that last week off of Mike's FB page.  Very classy of him made her look like the idiot she is.

Hilarious.  The thing making it truly sad(for her) is that Mike isn't even an 'extreme' anything, from my understanding.  He's actually fairly liberal - he's a Californian Actor, after all.

Being a 'common working man' is something of a role.  However, he's been tempered with his experiences with all the common people who he worked with during his career.

Hell - consider his line - questioning the cost of a college education.  That's something extreme liberals like Bernie do as well.  Questioning the value of a degree is more conservative.

Yeah, that website is pure cancer.  But after playing whack-a-mole with all the popups, I was able to read the article.

Firefox with Ghostery and Adblock plus running, and it comes up right away with no popups.

I'm on Firefox/Adblock, so saw no problems. Apologies to those who did.

I have Chrome with Adblock, perhaps I should try updating it.

You should take a closer look at his background.

East Coast Native.
Somewhat modest background.
Worked his way into acting gigs via Opera and Sales (both in-person and via HSN).

He may not be "right-wing gun nut" conservative, but I see nothing to indicate he's liberal or had to be "shown the light" with regards to "common people".
