\u201cComcast won\u2019t air ads pursuing Mormon church<\/a> tax status, organizer says\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

I have to admit that I can\u2019t honestly muster much sympathy for poor Fred Karger on this point.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

And here\u2019s another item, from a former member of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, relating to the Choir\u2019s impending performance at the 2017 presidential inauguration:<\/p>\n

\u201cChoir members are goodwill ambassadors\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Incidentally, for those who have insisted that inaugurations are celebrations of the personalities and policies of the particular person assuming office, and that the Choir\u2019s participation in this year\u2019s inauguration must therefore be understood as a partisan act and an endorsement, it should be interesting to know that every inaugural ceremony since 1901 has been organized and overseen by the bipartisan\u00a0United States Congress Joint Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies:<\/p>\n
