Father of the Year

This week the National Father's Day Council announced the picks for their 64th annual award. This year it went to four individuals. If I told you that Donald Trump was one of them you probably wouldn't believe me. Donald Trump is a millionaire whose projects tend to fail, but he continues to prosper. I think he is married, but I am not positive about that. I know his ex-wife sued him in a very public divorce. Father of the year you say?

The National Council trumped themselves by their next pick. The Radio/TV host Larry King. He does have 6 children which is wonderful. The only problem is the fact that this man has been married 7 times.

It's apparent that the National Father's Day Council has redefined what a "good" father is. The odd thing is, the current definition, as defined by this strange council, was the definition of a "bad" father only 20 years ago. (UPISDOWN)

Larry King is Father of the Year. (UPISDOWN)

Using the council's criteria for Father of the Year, it's a good guess that ex-President Bill Clinton was Father of the Year in 1998.
