Nick Offerman, Megan Mullally Sing 'Wings Of A Dragon': Married Couple Do Country Duet About Creationism (VIDEO)

Real-life married couple Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally are still perfect, everyone, so please stop worrying. Today, they starred in a CollegeHumor video to further the case of their perfectness. In it, Offerman plays a paleontologist country singer attempting to woo the apple of his eye, a singer played by Mullally, who happens to be a hardcore creationist. And Offerman is forced to choose between her and science.

The video, "Wings of a Dragon," starts as a karaoke plea from a simple country boy to a purty young gal who happens to think that "Darwin's a douche / Evolution is a sin," as she explains in song form.

So, how can they reconcile their beliefs and end up together (which, duh, they'll end up together)?

Of course, this isn't the first time Offerman and Mullally have played a couple onscreen. Mullally has made several guest appearances on "Parks and Recreation," as the ex-wife, and sometimes flame, of Offerman's gruff, mustachioed city manager Ron Swanson. Offerman has also guested on his wife's regular show "Childrens Hospital."

They must make each other crack up all the time. I love that my most favorite character actors are married to each other.

Pretty good showing! And the visual references to the Crusades (with the guys in chain mail at about 3:05, and one waving a US flag at about 3:10) was priceless.

I liked the dancing!

[TheTightwireGuy]

Internet,

The dancing WAS funny, but I couldn't help thinking of images like the one at the top of this blog entry when I saw the Crusader outfits in that sketch:
http://mundabor.wordpress.com/tag/rosary/2011/05/26/catholic-blogging-in-17-5-easy-steps/

Or this issue regarding our (US) military:
http://blog.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2011/01/18/seymour_hersh_unleashed

Which might not be all that crazy in light of this reporting on our military:
http://www.militaryreligiousfreedom.org/2011/08/huffington-post-how-much-money-could-the-department-of-defense-save-if-it-stopped-trying-to-save-souls/

Which helps to explain the seriousness of this issue that is currently staring us in the face:
http://uprootedpalestinian.wordpress.com/category/war-crimes-and-criminals/2012/01/15/beating-the-drums-of-war-provoking-iran-into-firing-the-first-shot/

Which motivates me to close this post as follows:

Onward, Christian (American) 'soldiers' -- Not! And may God help us all if our collective ability to keep your misplaced zeal in check fails to prevent ANOTHER senseless bloodbath! So, please please please, good Christians, consider channeling that zeal into, say, dancing. And NOT dancing all over the rights of others on our world to live in peace. Because, seriously, that is what your God wants you to do. Truly.

Internet (and other readers, too),

But if you don't believe those sources regarding either the moral failing and/or worldly folly of starting a war with Iran, consider these:

http://jhaines6.wordpress.com/2012/01/01/presstv-iran-war-to-ruin-israel-global-economy/

As well as these words recently spoken by a prominent leader in the Christian faith:

"God has appeared as a child. It is in this guise that he pits himself against all violence and brings a message that is peace. At this hour, when the world is continually threatened by violence in so many places and in so many different ways, when over and over again there are oppressors’ rods and bloodstained cloaks, we cry out to the Lord: O mighty God, you have appeared as a child and you have revealed yourself to us as the One who loves us, the One through whom love will triumph. 

And you have shown us that we must be peacemakers with you. We love your childish estate, your powerlessness, but we suffer from the continuing presence of violence in the world, and so we also ask you: manifest your power, O God. In this time of ours, in this world of ours, cause the oppressors’ rods, the cloaks rolled in blood and the footgear of battle to be burned, so that your peace may triumph in this world of ours."

Do you mean the 'crusades' as the defense of a land taken by foreign powers?

Like we defended France from the Nazis? Or the Koreans and Chinese from the Japanese?

[TheTightwireGuy]

"Like we defended France from the Nazis?"

Jam,

Last time I checked, the US did not "defend France from the Nazis". Here is evidence to that effect:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_non-interventionism

Also, while the US participated with other countries in freeing France from the Nazis, the US's intent in doing so was to DEFEAT Nazi Germany, NOT defend any particular country that was occupied by it:
http://www.pbs.org/behindcloseddoors/in-depth/uneasy-allies.html

Furthermore, as stated at this website...
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_did_Russia_do_during_World_War_2

"Don't understate the Soviet Union's contribution to victory over the Nazis, something that I have definitely been guilty of. Americans and Russians often tend to think of themselves as having won the war independently of one another or the other countries involved. This is most likely the result of the Cold War and the Iron Curtain keeping knowledge and interpretation of the events of the war split. ... These factors have helped keep Westerners in the dark about how important the Soviet Union was in defeating the Nazis."

And a highly patriotic fellow American who helped me understand this is this podcaster/history buff:
http://www.dancarlin.com/

With that said, if you want to continue to erroneously believe that the US "defended France from the Nazis", that is your right.

As for "the Koreans and Chinese from the Japanese?"....

A similar argument regarding the US' objective in that part of World War II is relevant here: The US wanted to defeat the totalitarian Japanese regime for its OWN interests, not necessarily the interests of other countries.

And FDR and Truman may have had grand ideas about "spreading democracy" around the world, both were completely willing to make deals with extremely repressive regimes and unrepentant colonialists if it advanced US interests, such as FDR with Saudi Arabia...
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/saud/cron/

...and Truman with France regarding Vietnam:
http://chnm.gmu.edu/courses/122/vietnam/lecture.html

And the last time I checked, the US's failure over too many years to recognize the inherent right of self-determination by the Vietnamese ended up costing A LOT of lives:
http://www.digitalhistory.uh.edu/modules/vietnam/index.cfm

Heck, even one of the staunchest proponents of THAT war died tremendously regretting his role and advocacy of that war:
http://themoderatevoice.com/38304/robert-mcnamara-architect-of-vietnam-war-has-died/

And to this day, the US is backing the House of Saud in its repression of its own people:
http://opinion.latimes.com/opinionla/2012/01/mideast-military-aid-obama-mubarak-arab-spring-blowback.html

Still feeling so self-congratulatory and gingoisticly proud about the good intents of our beloved USofA?

Comparing Rick Perry to a paleontologist, just insulted every paleontologist on the planet.

I wonder if they are that much fun in real life. Most people who are that funny are miserable and depressed in their actual lives, but something tells me they aren't the norm.
