She proposed that they could have spent:

  • 2.8 million dollars on single mothers in poverty.
  • 2.8 million dollars to lobby for the end of wars that kill or internally, externally maim sons and brothers and fathers like Tebow – instead of the simulation of war in the stadiums.
  • 2.8 million dollars on any number of women and children – just for the hell of it.
  • 2.8 million dollars for young men and women who want to explore the world before they try to teach their kids about the world.
  • 2.8 million dollars to pay for a mother’s or child’s medical bills.
  • 2.8 million dollars to pay grannie’s heating bills.

Focus on the Family’s Super Bowl commercial with Pam and Tim Tebow

Here’s the commercial in question. As I said before, it’s very subtle, and it’s meant to be a teaser to get you to visit their Web site. I have to admit, I didn’t recognize Tim Tebow without the Bible verses taped to his face.
