Twitchy reported the sad news that Chick-fil-A founder S. Truett Cathy died early this morning. Reprehensibly, that news brought out twisted souls rejoicing over his death.

Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) has something to say; Will the sickos listen?

Amen.

Scott has often talked about this life-changing experience.

“I found myself in a position where I felt like the future was nonexistent,” Scott said. A year later, he met John Moriz, a conservative businessman who ran a Chick-fil-A restaurant where Scott ate when he worked at a movie theater next door.

“One day he came down to the movie theater and slid a Chick-fil-A sandwich across the desk. John was smart enough to know that food is a good way to start a conversation with a kid who likes to eat,” Scott said. Over the next few years, he said, Moriz, who is now deceased, taught him about self-reliance and individual responsibility.

“John transformed my way of thinking, which changed my life. It was interesting, because the lessons that John was teaching me were maybe simple lessons, but they were profound lessons,” Scott said. He eventually attended Presbyterian College on a partial football scholarship and graduated from Charleston Southern University. He worked in insurance and real estate before entering politics.

You know who else will change lives?

Indeed. Thank you, Sen. Scott.

This Guy Found A Real Message In A Bottle. You Need To Read Its Story.

Finding a message in a bottle is always an interesting plot point in movies. What’s inside? Will the glass vessel contain a treasure map? Will there be a cry for help from a stranded castaway possibly? Could it be a message meant for a lover lost at sea?

Anymore, these kinds of things are rare in our world. Now, all of the blank pages on the map are all filled in. Sending messages is as easy as punching in what you want to say and hitting send. These friends found an ACTUAL message in a bottle in 2014 and what it said? It was beautiful.

This bottle washed on the beach while some friends were soaking in the sun.

They tried opening it but it was tightly sealed.

Luckily someone was once a boy scout.

Inside was a rolled up piece of paper that was sealed with tape.

They unrolled it and read.

They resealed the bottle using a hairband, and sent it back from whence it came, the sea that Mel so loved.

Now, Mel’s bottle is back on its journey across the ocean. I wonder where the bottle will appear next? If you’re curious to know too, help out and let your friends know by giving this a share on Facebook. Who knows, maybe they too will hold Mel’s letter in their hands.

NBC sports show on legal elephant hunt outrages Twitter

The latest social media outrage surrounds a controversial episode of NBC’s sports show “Under Wild Skies,” in which NRA lobbyist Tony Makris shoots an elephant in Botswana, and afterwards drinks a glass of champagne to celebrate.

Huffpost at least was honest enough to report on the legality of the hunt, and how it actually helps fund conservation:

Controlled big game hunting still goes on in Africa and many reserves are set up by governments, who use money paid by rich safari hunters to fund broader conservation efforts. Elephant numbers in Botswana, however, have declined so greatly that a ban on hunting has been legislated. That ban won’t come into force until next year.

But other media outlets spewed only outrage and few facts under headlines like, “NRA Lobbyist Shoots an Elephant in the Face Then Drinks Champagne to Celebrate His Kill.”

Really? People in all countries other than the U.S. oppose Big Game hunting? That guy needs to stop watching MSNBC and get out more.

Then there’s this charming woman, whose reaction to the show was to hope that Africans starve:

At the time this post was published, a petition being circulated had gathered only 2,141 signatures to cancel the show.
