Today’s Detroit News features a great piece on the Adrian, MI based Dominican Nuns who are working for social change by challenging major corporations via shareholder resolutions.
“The Adrian Dominicans have prepared a full slate of resolutions this year on issues ranging from global warming to sweatshops to racial and gender diversity of company board members.
“The nuns see themselves as an antidote to the Enrons of the world, a burst of morality for corporate America. With a Bible under one arm and an economics text under the other, they try to bring a little gospel into the boardroom. “

Found you throught the MT Blogs webring.
My sisters and I get in a discussion about this. My older sister wants a Macon Whoopee shirt. What do you expect from a 21-year-old?
My younger sister is 14. She can’t understand the concepts behind the Houston Astros and the Montreal Expos. I get the Astros name but still have trouble with the Expos one. Well, at least that problem will be solved one way or another next year.
Here’s another name for you – the Savannah Sand Gnats.

Here in Ann Arbor, our beloved Fleetwood Diner used to field a women’s softball team known as the Fleetwood Fillies.
H.P. Lovecraft fans will also be happy to know that some wag has developed a whole line of Miskatonic University clothing, stickers, etc.
You too can display your team spirit with a Fightin’ Cephalopods bumper sticker…
I think that one is my fave.

I’ve always thought that the Carolina Mudcats (as in catfish) have the all-time best sports logo, which is a big “C” with a scary catfish swimming through it and right at you.
