When hating on Chick-fil-A, try to hide it better (UPDATED)
The Facebook page of Mark Krzos is like many others. He’s married to a beautiful woman. He really likes the band Ween. He posted an awesome Wilco performance from Jimmy Fallon the other night. He lets friends know that he’s incredulous that one congressman views an HHS mandate as a serious problem. He hopes that Gore Vidal rests in peace. There’s some hockey stuff. He really doesn’t like Mitt Romney. Like, really doesn’t like him. He is a huge fan of President Barack Obama. He’s got a post with the note “We are a PROUD city” showing the letter Boston Mayor Thomas Menino sent Chick-fil-A telling them that their CEO’s religious views meant that there was “no place” in Boston for Chick-fil-A. There’s some other anti-Chick-fil-A stuff. Some mockery of creationists. The usual.

MSM & Chick-fil-A: The Internet often honors stupid stories
Last week I saw Chick-fil-A trending on Google and thought there must be some delicious promotion, some sort of free sandwich you get for dressing up like a cow. Eager to get a freebie, I clicked through to find out why people were searching.

Lutheran, Baptist, whatever
Last week I highlighted an excellent local story about how one North Dakota congregation was helping people who are looking for work in their town. Apparently I wasn’t the only person who loved the story, as the congregation was also highlighted by CBS Morning News on July 3. I can’t find that broadcast, but I did appreciate that they put some additional footage from that bit on the web.

Religion ghost? RIP Andy Griffith
More than a decade ago, while serving as religion editor for The Oklahoman, I visited Andy Griffith’s television hometown and wrote a column about it:
