Shall We Gather At The River

Apparently intolerant fundies aren't all that strict about abstinence, at least when the subject is alcohol consumption. In this report on Nino Scalia's appearance at a dinner sponsored by the anti-gay Urban Family Council, we learn that the Lord loves as lush:

According to Devlin, the event made no money. He said he didn't recall how much was collected. If all 125 attendees bought tickets, it would have brought in $18,750.

"It was a wash," he said, adding that the bill for the open bar was higher than expected.

That's $150 per person, but no profit because of all the boozing. Yeah, I know there were other expenses too. But the event was budgeted to make a profit, and would have done so but for all the drinking done by the pro-family moralizers in attendance.
