For those who are just now emerging from their duct-taped, plastic-sheeted basements…
A quick recap (and, in the spirit of G.K. Chesterton, a little short on details…) Sisters of Mercy, running a high school in Michigan someplace, have a charity auction to benefit the school. One of the prizes was lunch with Governor Jennifer “I’m a good Catholic who thinks it’s immoral to force my views on abortion on others, thereby allowing others to force their views on everyone else” Granholm. Under pressure, the Sisters nixed the award. Now it’s back on again. HMS Blog is coordinating an effort to let the Sisters (and Cardinal Maida, who has declined to intervene) know how …distasteful … this “prize” is.

Oh, and it snowed last weekend in some parts of the country.
