I was way more of a smart-ass when I worked in a bookstore, since my manager was always job hunting and couldn’t have cared less. During the height of the “Twilight” craze, right when the last book and the first movie had been released, we were sent a metric ton of merch, including those SweetHearts chalk-flavored…

Did he ever say how much money Our Lady of Perpetual Exemption received (and therefore how much Doctors Without Borders received?)

Second verse, same as the first. This is like that horrible (by which I mean scary as hell because WTF that was messed up) episode of “Are You Afraid Of The Dark” set in the pinball machine, but more rage inducing.

Yes, that judge sure is insistent about people following the laws of the U.S. Next you’ll be telling me he isn’t letting citizens murder each other.

“There she is, Miss Denying The Constitutional Rights Of Others...” - me, watching the video of her release

So THAT’S the valley of the shadow. I’ve always wondered.

Looks like 5 of the 6 deputy clerks in her office say they’ll issue marriage licenses starting Friday. Three guesses who the hold out was, and the first two don’t count...

That. Is. Awesome.

She’s not done fighting though. What was denied was her appeal for a stay; her original appeal is still pending in the 6th Circuit. Granted, I think the Supreme Court and the 6th circuit both have sent a very strong message that her arguments are nonsensical and that any further attempts on her part to push this…

This is wild, but I guess her second and fourth husband are the same guy. Which in some ways is even more baffling than them all being different.

You will note my use of the word “attempting,” which is precisely what she and her lawyers were trying to do. Not that I find their tactics surprising, given that the Supreme Court has held that businesses have religious rights, but she’s claiming that her religious beliefs grant her the right not to perform those…

I cannot wait to use “Aspiring Nazgul” in a sentence, specifically one directed at those who oppose raising the minimum wage. It’s astonishing that so many people can be ignorant of the fact that the minimum wage was intended to be (and was, for a while) a LIVING wage. This is the digital age. THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE.

To my knowledge, there are only three ways for an elected official to lose their position mid-term. They can resign (she’s said she won’t), they can be impeached by the state legislature (I don’t know when the Kentucky State Legislature meets, but I doubt it’s right now and if the political climate in Kentucky is…

These people are 14 different kinds of absurd, and I can’t help but notice that all this vitriol is directed exclusively at Planned Parenthood, while conveniently ignoring all the other institutions that allow women to donate fetal tissue. They hate Planned Parenthood as much as they apparently hate logic.

SECONDED. I always thought that whole “I’m really super sorry but all is forgiven because GOD” deal was a pretty huge cop-out (full disclosure, haven’t been to church since I was young enough to get away with falling asleep). Like, ok, you’re sorry and that’s nice and all, but it seems to me there has to be some…

I’m not sure which is more terrifying: the fact that this woman is attempting to establish a very dangerous legal precedent, that her views are common enough in her county and state that the odds of her losing her job over this are slim, or that she can say to these people with a smile on her face that she “is not…

Given the county and state in which this is all taking place I find it unlikely that the citizens of the county would do this, but I know it is possible to remove an elected official from office before their term is over by staging a recall election. Does anyone know if this is an option in Kentucky?

And though I don’t know this for sure, if the dishes were thermal (as the dishes were at the place where I worked) putting hot food in a room temperature dish would actually cause the food to cool more quickly. Heating the dish was pretty common. Whenever someone said “I want my soup/coffee/pasta REALLY hot” I would…

I’d like to vote her back ONTO the island. Far, far away from television cameras and mass communication and humanity in general.

I watched from the corner as Sara took them their wine glasses. And I watch as she tottered over with a large, fruit-filled pitcher of sangria. And I watched as she lifted the pitcher high over the wretched woman’s head...and dumped it all over her.
