A Heapin' Plate of Conservative Politics & Religion

Guess who provides the best healthcare for women and children?
“We Catholics hardly need to be lectured about women’s health. Thanks mostly to our religious sisters, we happen to run the best private healthcare for women and children in the country.”
It’s Friday, and Jodi Miller is back!
We missed Jodi’s concise, incisive, and some would say, divisive reporting last week. But she’s back this week, and her news is better than ever:
The Des Moines Register runs Quiner’s Diner this morning

I’m having lunch at Chick Fil-A tomorrow. Join me!
How often does a company stand by their religious convictions? Not often. Chick Fil-A does. Here’s their mission statement: “To glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that is entrusted to us. To have a positive influence on all who come in contact with Chick-fil-A.”
