The Archdiocese of Washington wanted to extend an invitation to commuters to find the perfect Christmas gift by advertising on city buses, but the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) threw up a roadblock.

The advertisement depicted silhouettes of three shepherds walking at night with tall canes and sheep beneath a shining North Star. Emblazoned across the ad is the phrase: “FIND THE PERFECT GIFT.”

But the transit authority rejected the ad because it “depicts a religious scene and thus seeks to promote religion,” according to a federal lawsuit filed by the Archdiocese of Washington against the WMATA.

It shows a historical event. Unless the DC Transit system wants to make a public statement saying Jesus isn’t real.....

Oops... the transit authority just discriminated in their business practices against a protected class! Prepare to pay up, morons.

Or, as mentioned by Daniel, “You have been weighed, and found wanting by the Pharsi. “ feels perfectly relevant now as well.

“Gay hookup Apps”... because it’s all about “love.” (bleh!)

Osteen is no different than a Satanist to me. Seriously. In fact, he’s worse, because he wears the mantle of a Christian while being an emissary of the Devil.

They have embraced pot legalization.
(We don’t need one more poison.)

Should we get one fewer by recriminalizing alcohol?

My wife and I had a pretty good time there last year...had Christmas Dinner at Legal Seafood in Chinatown and then went to the Trump Hotel for drinks.

(This year we may just eat BLT Prime...been a pretty good year all in all so we could splurge)

Your words, not mine.

More precisely, my question and your dodge.

More precisely, your question is not relevant to the point I was making.

Attempting to undermine my position by pretending my objection to legalization of pot, somehow suggests I want to criminalize alcohol is STUPID!

Your claimed basis for your objection implies that you should want to criminalize alcohol. If you don't want to, then your "poison" argument is a mere smokescreen.
