Look At It This Way (#LAITW)

Hillsdale College has a free online course to teach you all about it: click here.

A couple of “Say Whats?!”s were in my inbox this morning:

1. The NFL fined Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliot $13,369 for “unsportsmanlike conduct” when his touchdown celebration included dropping $21 in a Salvation Army pot. I hope the NFL will give that $13K to the Salvation Army. I’ll let the NFL entertain me with football on TV whenever I want, but don’t count on me to even watch their commercials or support their sponsors let alone buy a ticket.
2. A catholic church in Massachusetts put a Nativity scene in a metal cage behind a border wall (of sorts) to make some kind of point about immigration. That’s pretty blue of them (of course, it is MA). The real problem is it shows a clear lack of understanding of Mary and Joseph. They weren’t illegal immigrants. They weren’t immigrants at all. They were abiding by the law of the land to comply with a census and pay taxes. Maybe these church folks thought they were going to Bethlehem to collect their welfare check. Who knows what they were thinking.
