Bill of the Beast

From today's Atlanta Journal-Constitution:

Kirby Godsey has decided to end his 26-year reign as president of Baptist-founded Mercer University. He's been an important figure in Georgia's educational circles, probably best known for his prickly relationship with fundamentalists.


...State Sen. Cecil Staton (R-Macon) thought it fitting to honor Godsey's career and "unimpeachable reputation for integrity, intelligence, fairness and kindness" [and] introduced a resolution in the Senate saying just that.

Such measures are unthinkingly assigned a numerical identity in order of submission. The Godsey resolution is SR 666.
