Dads get all up in the news.

You know what sort of news comes through the wire in when you set up google alerts for the words “fatherhood”, “father” and “dad”? Generally speaking, not good news.

Lindsay Lohan’s dad and Priestly indiscretions, mostly.

Depressing. When are we going to get some super awesome dads getting in the news for how awesome they are? I digress.

While not specifically a daddy thing, Five Minute Marvels is mostly dad-centric, and looks completely amazing. Choose a subject. Spend five minutes drawing the subject with your kid. Be totally awesome. I’m pretty sure those are the steps in correct order.

On Daddy News With Snarky Commentary

Posted in Newsdads | 0 comments

For this late-in-the-day post, I would like to introduce you to sadtrombone.com, which will be useful to you shortly, as you read my smarmy run down of things that have come to my attention over the last week RE: Fatherhood type things.

  • Father and son arrested in I-5 pot bust – A dad hasn’t gotten his son THAT stoned since Deuteronomy 21:18-21. HEYOOOO!
  • Russian boy kills father over video game ban – I.. I… oh God.
  • Cape Fear Dad is having an essay contest to see who the best father is on the most horrifyingly named geographic location in the country. Well, it’s neck-and-neck with White Settlement, TX
  • I’m new to this fathering gig, but apparently I am just in time for the Dad Revolution. I don’t know what it is we’re revolting against, but I’m fairly certain the maintenance man in this apartment complex has a pitchfork. He for sure has  a golf cart, so I would like to offer up landscaping weaponry and rides to anyone who can get me included in the revolt. As a disgustingly weIl behaved kid, I’ve always wanted to revolt responsibly, this looks like a safe place to start.

That’s all for today, and the answer is yes, I DO think I should have led with the Deuteronomy joke.
