• ‘Deeply Offensive & Blasphemous’?: Catholics Protesting ‘Ale Mary’s’ Bar in MD

  April 9, 2012 at 9:18am

  The name of the bar, the menu, and religious pictures are NOT the issue here. Catholics have a sense of humor and I don’t know of anyone that object to any of that. The problem is the use of sacred objects. The monstrance, the chalices, anything that was known to be ACTUALLY USED at any point in time for Mass and contained the body and blood of Christ is a HUGE DEAL. Absolutely beyond words awful. Now if they purchased these objects and they were never used before in that way, and they can be 100% sure, then it would not be a big deal and I’d go there and have a drink myself. If the owners are unsure, I would hope they would find out the history on each of the pieces before they consider using them again. Otherwise, I’d sign the petition and send it to every person I know.

  Awesome article.

• A Coming Gov’t ‘Green’ War on PVC Pipe?

  In reply to LindzJ.

  I don’t disagree with any of your comments. Just because it’s “green” doesn’t mean it necessarily makes good business sense, but there are aspects of the organization that are good. If you’re saving money it’s worth it. Only an idiot would purchase something that doesn’t give a reasonable payback period. Do you need the LEED accreditation to know you’re making smart choices? Absolutely not.

• A Coming Gov’t ‘Green’ War on PVC Pipe?

  LEED is an established standard that corporations are also trying to adopt to measure their performance on constructing more environmentally friendly buildings. Some of the credits are useless and stupid (bike racks), others are great (low flow devices, natural/efficient heating/cooling methods). You’re not forced to use them…they are more like ideas to consider…a goal to strive toward.

  Upfront costs for new construction are very small in comparison to operating costs over the lifetime of the building. If you can plan ahead enough to cut energy and water consumption without giving up quality of life…who wouldn’t?

  I highly doubt anyone will stop us from using PVC unless they actually find something better to offer us that can replace it. Then we can worry.

• These Are the ‘Top Conservative Colleges’ in the U.S.

  March 16, 2012 at 5:33pm

  I wonder if there’s a list out there rating the most conservative schools that offer something more than just a liberal arts education. Not everyone wants a political science, literature, law, teaching, or theology degree. Engineering, math, and sciences… It must be harder to hold to your principles as you grow to a school that offers more degrees…

• Did a MA Public School Really Remove ‘St. Patrick’s Day’ From its Celebrations Over ‘Faith Issues?’

  March 15, 2012 at 1:44pm

  If they dislike Christian holidays so much why don’t they just ignore Valentine’s Day and St. Patrick’s Day instead of confusing kids? Might as well remove them all from school discussions. Christmas, Easter, Halloween…leave it at home. All kids do is goof off, eat cupcakes and watch mind-numbing movies instead of getting an education those days anyway.

  In reply to momrules.

  I’m with ya. Makes zero sense. Why on earth would you disarm those folks? Makes the situation more dangerous, not less.

• ‘Kick Him in the Jimmy’: GOP Congressional Candidate’s Eye-Popping Reaction to Santorum

  I’ve been there, on the ground, and fact is men do naturally go out of their way to make sure you’re safe when things are hairy. It might be possible they could get past that instinct… I’m in shape and can pull my own weight. Regardless of sex, dragging a 200lb guy with 50lbs of gear is a lot even for men. The physical standard would need to be the same. Sorry, Ma’am, but an air-conditioned cockpit is a little different. Give Rick a break…he’s not being sexist.
