Mike's funny response to an idiotic New York Times 27 point guide on being a Modern Man

Here's some examples
 
NYT: Before the modern man heads off to bed, he makes sure his spouse’s phone and his kids’ electronic devices are charging for the night.

 

MR: A Man’s Man knows that self-reliance is born of experience. He encourages his kids to look after their own stuff, and suffer the consequences when they do not. The wife is another matter.

 

NYT: The modern man has no use for a gun. He doesn’t own one, and he never will.

MR: A Man’s Man owns at least one firearm. He knows how to use it, clean it, and store it properly. He understands it’s importance, and sees it for what it is - a tool that can protect him and his family.

Mike is classic. I wish he'd run for president. It would refreshing to get someone with wit, intelligence and humility in the White House.

I really like Mike Rowe. That NYT article is silly, and Mike's response is great.

I really like the line "The wife is another matter." I think that's the best line in the whole thing.

 

But RememberSchiff, I am curious about something. You gave Mike Rowe's answer to the "gun" item, but when I look at the document itself, that line is garbled and only the last word ("family") appears. But you have the whole thing. Where did you get it from?

NRA already used his gun quote in some online memes. On his facebook page MR clarified that while he supports the Second Amendment, he is not an NRA member.
