Riding the Oh Face Train

I recently read that the average price of a gallon of gas in the US will rise to 5 dollars within a year and could get as high as 7 dollars in the next 2 years. If those high prices do not get you looking at different transportation options, this video sure will get you to consider mass transit.

No Subway for Pope Bobblehead, Only Popemobile

The DC subway system, Metro, tried to promote people to ride their train system for the Pope's upcoming visit to DC next week with a clever Pope bobble head ad.

The Archdiocese of Washington complained and Metro was forced to pull their bobble head ad. Watch the video of the story.

Every time I drive by the Vatican Embassy in DC, there is some protester holding up a sign calling them child molesters so I think the Catholic church needs to lighten up just a tad.

Oh, I want one of these bobble heads too and if they start giving them out at mass, it might just lure me back to the Catholic church for a hour.

More on the video here and here and here.
