Kentucky Clerk Refuses to Wed Gays Under God's Authority

Kentucky Clerk Refuses to Wed Gays Under God’s Authority: The Kentucky county clerk whose request to deny issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples was denied by the Supreme Court is continuing to refuse same-sex couples “under God’s authority.” In a way, I kind of feel sorry for her. Life was good, she was raking in $80,000 a year at her job as county clerk. Then, out of nowhere, the Supreme Court decides that those gay folks can get married too, which thereby threatens the sanctity of her 4th marriage.

Detective Suing After Being Fired for Participating in KKK Rally: A North Carolina detective who was fired after being photographed at a KKK anti-immigration rally wearing a Klansman insignia and doing the Klan salute, says he shouldn’t have been fired and is suing the Lake Arthur Police Department for firing him. That was a Klan rally? Why didn’t he just say he was at a Trump for President rally? Hell, no one would know the difference.

Most Millennials Have Negative View of Their Generation: A Pew Research Center study showed that the majority of millennials - defined as those ages 18-34 - have far more negative views of their generation as compared to Generation Xers, baby boomers or other age groups, describing themselves as “self-absorbed, wasteful and greedy.” What are they talking about millennials being greedy? I see so many of them sharing those selfies they took with everyone.

New Tornado Warnings From National Weather Service: The National Weather Service is testing out new tornado warnings, designed to better communicate the dangers that include the somewhat controversial terms such as “mass devastation,” “unsurvivable,” and “catastrophic.” That said, perhaps the most controversial of all these warnings is the “trailer trash head for the hills” designation.

Texas Decides to Renovate the Alamo: Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush has just announced plans to give the Alamo a renovation of its iconic building as well as a major overhaul of the surrounding plaza. Given the fact that its Texas, I’m surprised Tea Party activists, in the name of private enterprise, aren’t demanding that state government turn the place over to its namesake, Alamo Rent a Car.

NY Court Refuses Appeals in Chimp Personhood Case: An animal rights group seeking legal personhood on behalf of chimpanzees Kiko and Tommy, has been denied an appeal hearing by the state’s highest court. Sadly, after hearing the ruling, both Tommy and Kiko simply went bananas, jumped up on the bench and bit the judge’s nose off. If you ask me, their big legal mistake was not declaring themselves a corporation first, because everyone knows that after Citizens United, corporations are people.

Florida Woman Offers Oral Sex To Drop Drug and DUI Charges: Authorities say a Florida woman who was arrested for drunken driving and drug possession, has been charged with bribery after repeatedly offering to perform oral sex on three different police officers if they would drop the charges. Well, what do they expect? They hand the poor woman a breathalyzer and tell her to “blow.” Frankly, I find this whole story a little hard to swallow. It seems a bit overblown, but from a purely legal standpoint, its too bad Bill Clinton isn’t still president, she most likely would have gotten a Presidential pardon.

Tennessee Man Kills Wife Over Church Tithe Money: Law enforcement officials say a 76-year-old Tennessee man has been charged with first-degree murder after fatally shooting his wife because he thought she had stolen and hidden the money he planned to tithe to his church. Oh boy, time to cue Pat Robertson, claiming the government’s trying to restrict this poor man’s religious freedoms. I hate to think of what would have happened had she taken his beer money also. Now I’m no religious scholar, but I’m guessing an incident like this could only happen because it was God’s day off.

Huge Water Bug Ruled the Seas 460 Million Years Ago: Scientists at Yale University say newly found fossils indicate that Earth’s first big predatory monster was a weird sea scorpion that was as large as person. And to think everyone just assumed that Earth’s earliest predator was Bill Cosby.

Kanye West Announces Presidential 2020 Ambitions: At the end of a long, rambling 10-½ minute speech he gave after receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award at MTV’s Video Music Awards, Rapper Kanye West announced he will be running for president, but not till 2020. Which seems rather fitting - given that many in the crowd seemed resigned to the fact that it might be close to 2020 by the time he finished his acceptance speech anyway.

Walker’s Talk About Canadian Border Wall Stirs Controversy: Scott Walker’s recent suggestion that building a wall between the U.S. and Canada might be a “legitimate idea” has prompted swift derision from fellow Republicans. Forget Walker, I have a feeling that should we elect Donald Trump president, the Canadians will be more than happy to pay for and build a wall to separate our two countries.
