About that righteous pharmacist in Virginia

I'd like to call your attention to a Washington Post article entitled "Virginia pharmacy had plenty of moral convictions, few clients". Here's how it gets started:

The Divine Mercy Care Pharmacy in Chantilly proudly and purposefully limited what it would stock on its shelves. But it turns out that no birth control pills, no condoms, no porn, no tobacco and even no makeup added up to one thing:

No customers.

The self-described "pro-life" pharmacy went out of business last month, less than two years after it opened to great fanfare, with a Catholic priest sprinkling holy water on the strip-mall store tucked between an Asian supermarket and a scuba shop.

No word on whether he returned for last rites.

There's more if you want to click through for the complete article.

I think I'll just leave it at that with no further comment.
