Hey Focus on the Family, Welcome to 1970!

You know Focus on the Family, the wonderful Christian group that you know, offers free counseling for same-sex attractions and has thinks Abstinence Education will somehow work, but those points are for a different blog post.

Anyway, they recently just announced a new "more casual" dress code. Flip flops and cargo shorts, like we wear to work here in Seattle? Um, no... How about...

From the Denver Post:

Beginning today, men who work at Focus no longer have to wear mandatory business attire, including a tie, and female employees don't have to stick with just dresses or skirts and hosiery. Men can now come to work donning an open-collar shirt — but no spandex — and women can be decked out in dress pants and pantsuits.

Upon hearing the news, the employees literally cheered. I bet the level of employee excitement hasn't been that high since gay marriage was banned in Cali.

Seriously? First, (right or wrong) marijuana is illegal, of course that is issue one. Second, smoking in public places is illegal. Third, smoking in schools is illegal. Fourth, he was 17, which is too young to even smoke cigarettes legally.

I have a feeling this kid lit up to help support his marijuana should be legal theory, but I think he just ended up proving that smoking pot can make you a dumb ass.
