Chicken Shit Sandwich

I like fried chicken.  Whether home made, chain restaurant, fast food or a local dive, fried chicken can be very good.  There are many regional variations -- from the spicy New Orleans style to the rich and bland Maryland -- but the chicken is good.

One Southern chain, Chick-fil-A (known for their humorous 'protest' ads), has damn good chicken sandwiches.  And salads.  And I knew that they were a right wing company but, unless a company has done something really egregious (such as Walmart's stand on unions and their refusal to support their workers), or supports and funds hate groups, I tend to shy away from boycotting a company because of politics or social issues.  Chick-fil-A has, for me, just crossed that line.

Civil War-Themed Propaganda Chapel Burns

This morning, I caught a headline in the local paper: "Fire guts Gettysburg Civil War chapel".  Which worried me.  After all, there are some historically significant churches associated with Civil War battlefields -- the Dunker Church at Antietam National Battlefield comes to mind.  I didn't remember one associated with Gettysburg, but the Civil War is not really my forte when it comes to military history. 

Then I read the article.  A "Civil-War themed wooden chapel" founded to "tell the story of Christianity during the Civil War."
