It’s not counter-intuitive when you realize that the entire state isn’t Greenwich and Darien.

I understand that Connecticut has the largest Italian-American community proportionate to population of any state in the Union, higher than even New Jersey, as counter-intuitive as that may be.

Hartford, Connecticut… First and Last Tavern in the South End (Italian section). Yummy brick oven pizza.

Actually the church looks like a monument to a stack of salmon steaks–even has the pink flesh. Evidently the architect didn’t like the pizza either. . .

New Haven pizza can be amazingly good - they take it very seriously.

Clearly, you haven’t been to New Haven, or had the pizza there.

Incidentally, there are actual ethnic folks in Connecticut. It’s not Wasp-o-rama.

“New Haven, the pizza capital of the universe.”

Lol Thomas… are you serious? Connecticut? Some of us aren’t into squash pizza and polo… You need to check out Sam’s in Brooklyn, also I suggest a trip to Rome to expand your horizons

Since you said Yanks and John 3:16, I am reminded of an announcer’s quip at a Yankees game in my youth, when Tommy John was pitching. I am paraphrasing and I’ll get the statistic wrong, but he said something like, “Now there’s a real fan. That is, in fact, Tommy John’s career ERA against left-handed hitters with runners on base.”

The church looks like the Pope’s mitre (hat.) A poor choice of architecture.

Instead of condemning this town, we should celebrate it as an example of severe, aggressive, self-righteous tackiness that only our country can provide. The Brits can inflict violent soccer hooliganism on an opposing team’s fans but only we Yanks can hold up a bunch of John 3:16 signs in the middle of a violent game of gridiron.

Maybe there is a god after all and maybe she loves bloggers and political cartoonists. That’s perhaps why she hasn’t choked the Jesus life-blood out of Tom Monaghan - she wants to see the show continue herself.

When the Atheist Community Center of Ave Maria opens up, they are getting $50.00 from me.
