Yes, he said that would not be happening. Last week, the office shut down for a day “for computer updates”, and the judge said nothing like that would be happening again.
I think he messed up. I think he meant to say “We don’t hate these people. …We just don’t want them to have the same rights as us.”
I think it’s more “We don’t hate these people, we just enjoy the thought of them burning in Hell for eternity.”
That should have been written with quote marks and a comma.
(And…Gaudere’s Law! I made four different typos in the course of composing this post! :o )
(Also…agreement! I laugh at the drug store with the big sign that says “Drug’s.” I also get a big grin out of “Don Jose Mexican Food.” My goodness, Jose, what a strange last name you have! How is Mrs. Mexican Food, and all the little Mexican Foods?)
How do you stand on “would of/could of/should of”? We could use some serious help there, too…
He shouldn’t worry - he can still marry someone of the same sex - oh wait, he doesn’t want to? FUNNY HOW THAT WORKS.
Well, we could of used that help. But I would of said we got it under control now, thx.
That’s insulting. To baboons.

Her attorney is claiming that the licenses issued by her people without her consent are invalid.
Which to my mind, is just more Contempt of Court.
Her attorney isn’t licensed to practice law in Kentucky, so we can safely ignore his opinions about the enforceability of a marriage license.
ETA: Or give it no more weight than mine, since I am just as qualified to opine on this issue as he is. It is something of a concern, though. The worry would not be that the marriage won’t count, but that one of the partners’ families might try to claim their marriage was never valid when time comes to distribute the estate or somesuch.
No, it’s not. Judge Bunning specifically declined to rule on the issue of the validity of those licenses.
Did I ever tell you about the time that one of the managers where I used to work let us know that one of her employees was going to be absent but sending an email that said, “Charle’s will be out today.”?
Rowan County, KY: Where the irresistible cannonball meets the immovable post.
A bit more detail on some points that have already been mentioned in various posts above:
Jailed clerk’s attorney: Marriage licenses for gays are void, AP (as re-printed on Yahoo), Sept. 4.
Yes, it is all about who has the power. God has the power, by God!
(OMG, have we an apostrophe error in there somewhere?)
Yes, Judge Bunning did say ixnay on the shenanigans.
(Have we a different apostrophe error this time? Make up your mind!)
The licenses are being issued with no signature on them. Even the County Attorney says they are valid, but Bunning himself isn’t sure.
(All right, what’s the correct possessive of Davis already? Is it Davis’ or Davis’s?)
Her attorney has compared her jailtime and communications from her cell to MLK and his letter from Birmingham.
“She’s not going to resign, she’s not going to sacrifice her conscience, so she’s doing what Martin Luther King Jr. wrote about in his Letter from the Birmingham Jail, which is to pay the consequences for her decision,” Staver said.
Boy, she really thinks highly of herself.
When the original word ends in an “s”, 2 apostrophes are necessary: Davis’’
While I’m here, fuck that donkey fart of an excuse of a woman. Hooray! Licenses are being issued!
Davis’s is correct. Proper names ending in S form the possessive with an apostrophe-s. Traditionally, an exception is made for Jesus and names from mythology such as Hercules or Zeus, which take an apostrophe only. This usage may be falling by the wayside, though, in favor of consistently using apostrophe-s for all proper names.
Unless it ends in two of them in which case you add an additional apostrophe. Such as: Ross’‘’
what if it ends in multiple s’s’ss’s’s?
amiss’‘’’ ???
Never mind. My post was overtaken by the remainder of the thread.
