Prudhomme's Gets OK on Religious Promotion

The Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission says Prudhomme's may give discounts to patrons with church bulletins, as long as the discount extends to atheists, also.  According to the commission's legally binding settlement order, discounts may be given to any bulletin holders "from any group oriented around the subject of religious faith."

So, what bulletin (other than a church bulletin) should an atheist present to get the discount?  

And doesn't this decision basically mean everyone (with a religious bulletin) gets the discount?  (In that case, what's the point of the promotion, other than creating a faux controversy to publicize Prudhomme's?)

What Do They Sell?

After several years of neglect, it might now be time, finally, to get that sign fixed.

harmacy? 

I don't think that's the image they really want to convey.
(To be fair, the "p" is not totally burned out.  It just flickers continuously.)

The First of the Last of the Snow Fizzles Before the Apocalypse

Even though we got little or no snow, we can console ourselves with the fact that yesterday was the first of the last of the snow fizzles before the end of the world on December 21st. We know this event will occur, because it's based on the calculations of an ancient superstitious society, the Mayans.  We also know (enlightened as we are) that religious predictions - especially those several millenia old and involving numerology (12-21-12) - are infallible. To ease the anxiety resulting from the impending apocalypse, however, the following photos of faces around town may be perused during the coming final days. 

Enjoy!  :-)
