Jesus needs a drink

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

When the Lead Like Jesus Seminar ends, drink specials are waiting nearby.

The Tennessean seems to be implying that someone upstairs, or at least some of his followers, needs to take the edge off. In its calendar listing for Belmont University’s Lead Like Jesus seminar scheduled for tomorrow (Aug. 1), the daily newspaper’s Web site includes “$1 off Beer,” “2-for-1 Cocktails” and “$5 Martinis and Appetizers” promotions at nearby local bars as “Similar Events.” During a summer when the paper’s Web site has also predicted snowfall, I’d say the odds are good that this is an unfortunate consequence of an automated event calendar. It’s probably not a bad way to spend a Friday afternoon, though.
