From the Washington Post:
Faculty leave Baptist school, Shorter University, over “lifestyle” statement

More than two dozen faculty members have resigned from Shorter University, a Baptist school in Georgia, after it required them to sign a “personal lifestyle statement” that condemns homosexuality, premarital sex and public drinking.

Did you hear about the football team called the Jacksonville Jokers? Their favorite play was the punt.

That's why they drafted the punter. They're at least conceding that they'll need him a lot this season :lol:

Although as a Redskins fan, I would be one to talk...

I like how pre-marital sex, homomsexuality AND public drinking are all considered to be on the same level
