HOLY (-ier post):
What Chicago is talking about this week:
Well -- at least those that identify as Christians (or lapsed Christians for those who just make it to church once or twice a year) -- they are talking about and potentially singing some old fashioned hymns like "Up from the Grave He Arose!" and "Christ the Lord is Risen Today (A-a-a-a-le-e-lu-u-ia)".

HELL (-ish post):
What Chicago is talking about this week:
After the Burr Oak cemetery scandal last year (people were buried on top of each other or "lost" in unmarked graves and stored in sheds on the property), legislators passed laws to tighten up the restrictions at private sites -- requiring a database of graves and background checks for graveyard employees. Except, now that time has passed, it turns out those same legislators have determined that those additional requirements would be too expensive, so new legislation has been introduced to "soften" those extra rules.
To which I say -- it might have been a much different gospel story had Jesus been buried at Burr Oak (or, [warning: possible sacrilege ahead (avert your eyes if you are so inclined)] maybe that's what actually happened at that Garden tomb near Calvary so long ago)!
