If you haven't been interested in Kentucky's Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis, I appreciate your ability to rise above the ridiculous.
In a nutshell, Ms. Davis has refused to issue same-sex marriages licenses, sighting authority from God's Law.
The irony being:
A) We theoretically have a church/state separation kind of a deal for JUST THIS REASON.
B) If I remember correctly, God's Law also had things to say about women, employment, property, fabric, husbands, and Caesar.
C) Kim's history in matrimony is not exactly biblical.
Ted Cruz (political prostitute and possible Zodiac killer)
Kim Davis (Rowan County Clerk and fashionista)
Joe Davis (was husband #2 and now husband #4)
1984 - Marries Dwain Allen Wallace (husband #1)
1993 - Has twins out of wedlock with Thomas Dale McIntyre (husband to be #3)
1994 - Divorces Dwain Allen Wallace (husband #1)
1996 - Marries Joe Davis (husband #2) who adopts kids from Thomas Dale McIntyre (husband to be #3)
2004 -Divorces Joe Davis (husband #2)
2007 - Marries Thomas Dale McIntyre (husband #3)
2008 - Divorces Thomas Dale McIntyre (husband #3)
2009 - Remarries Joe Davis (was husband #2 and now husband #4)
Don't take my word for it.
The self-proclaimed biblical authority (Westboro Baptist Church) was happy to provide an instructional tweet:
"Get this straight: you can NOT repent of a sin you actively live. Kim must leave that man who's not her husband."
"God hates oath breakers."
The best part of the American Taliban circus was an energetic humorist in Twitterland who started a satire account Next to Kim Davis as Kim's hapless coworker.
(* Some Next To Kim Davis Tweets have been made more family friendly.)
Oh, hey. Westboro Baptist Church is here, because WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH ASSHOLES HERE YET
- @nexttokimdavis
Satire was a difficult concept for some.
KIM, DID GOD ORDER YOU NOT TO REFILL THE XEROX TRAY, TOO? SOME OF US ARE TRYING TO GO HOME TO OUR FIRST HUSBAND
- @NextToKimDavis
@nexttokimdavis Your a lazy woman who don't give a crap about society. Just want a chill job??
- Patricia Sullivan @Texas2Love
AND YOU DONT UNDERSTAND JOKES OR "YOU'RE"
- @NextToKimDavis
You do realize this is a satire account, not the actual account of the woman in that photo, yes?
- @Katherinelorna
While Kim sat her butt in jail for contempt of court, her attorney, Mat Staver . . .
former Seventh-Day Adventist pastor,
founder of the legal group Liberty Counsel,
author of Same-Sex Marriage: Putting Every Household at Risk,
happily discussed the vast and unequaled miscarriage of justice.
She’s just got this humble, gentle spirit. It is so evident from just spending a few minutes with her.
With every day that passes irreconcilable and irreparable harm is being done.
@nexttokimdavis how do you even get any work done there? Just about as much work as your boss?
Tough to work when #KimDavis @libertycounsel lawyers are stealing ALL THE STAPLES
- @NextToKimDavis
#kimdavis' @libertycounsel lawyers just piled ALL THE PRINTER PAPER INTO THEIR TRUNK. WTF?
- @NextToKimDavis
We all agreed that if #KimDavis falls in love and wants to marry her cell mate, we'll let her, but we're going to be dicks about it.
- @NextToKimDavis
I'm willing to marry an @OtterPops to a Twinkie. As long as #KimDavis is gone, there's no rules.
- @NextToKimDavis
Fun fact - #KimDavis is a Democrat
- @AlbertsonB2
Kim Davis becoming a Republican dealing a huge blow to the intolerant homophobic religious fundamentalists wing of the Democratic Party.
- @MichaelIanBlack
Another fun fact - #KimmDavis ATE MY OREOS.
- @NextToKimDavis
Illegals get amnesty. Muslims invaders get asylum. Cross dressers get "courage" awards. Christians get jail time.
- CDM@RWSurferGirl
AND MY OREOS. YOU KEEP FORGETTING THAT SHES AN OREO THIEF.
- @NextToKimDavis
So I guess can add #ClerkingWhileChristian to the list of crimes like #DrivingWhileBlack now, huh progressives? Proud?
- Annie@bloodless_coup
You mean #NOTClerkingWhileChristian. Also #StealingOreos
- @NextToKimDavis
This Tuesday, about 5k people said, "#IStandWithKimDavis." We've got nearly 100K who say, "#GoddamnItKim, those are MY OREOS!"
- @NextToKimDavis
Next to Kim Davis, in addition to noting Oreo theft, also became concerned when the overwhelming crush of media, protests, counter-protests, politicians, and lookie-loos consumed all Diet Mt Dew in the area.
Things we learned in the office this week #1 STAY OUT OF THE BACKGROUND SO NO ONE MAKES TWITTERS ABOUT YOU

Formerly next to Kim Davis Retweeted Ron Sarver
They had access to their own?! GODDAMN IT @libertycounsel JUST GET SOME QUARTERS
- @NextToKimDavis
A pizza party and Diet Mt Dew fund was set up (seriously) and when donations started rolling in, Next to Kim Davis sent additional funds to @FairnessComp (a Kentucky LGBT rights organization).
WHY IS THE WEATHER CHANNEL HERE AND THERE'S NO PARKING AT @DunkinDonuts
- @NextToKimDavis
Be back in a bit. Todd made license plates that say "DADDYBEAR" AND We're putting them on the @FoxNews van LOLOLOLOL
- @NextToKimDavis
Conservative politicians flocked to Kentucky to make some evangelistic hay before the presidential election.
@BobbyJindal just said that #KimDavis is the most discriminated person in America!
- @NextToKimDavis
@BobbyJindal - here is a list of jobs that Christians aren't allowed to have: 1: JOBS THEY WON'T DO #CNNDebate
- @NextToKimDavis
resulting in a humiliating expulsion of Cruz from victorious release from jail rally.
(Spoiler - it works out much better for Cruz than Huckabee.)
(Schools were closed for the Huckabee rally.)
With schools called off, @GovMikeHuckabee, @tedcruz , and #KimDavis are literally making people dumber.
- @NextToKimDavis
With the benefit of many legal minds, Kim Davis was released from jail and given permission to not do her job while things were sorted out. She was allocated a "darkened pout cave" to dwell in during work hours.
HOW DO I GET TWITTER OFF MY WORK COMPUTER BEFORE #KimDavis GETS BACK?!?
- @NextToKimDavis
Todd says that if #KimDavis comes out and sees her shadow, it's six more weeks of BULLSHIT.
- @NextToKimDavis
Why is everyone mad at Kim Davis? Nobody in the government does their job.
- @TheMichaelRock
A few additional bits about the Kim Davis ridiculousness . . .
Six months before the circus, Kim Davis accidentally issued a marriage license to a transgender couple.
Mike Huckabee, after successfully blocking Cruz from any photo opportunities, triumphantly escorted Kim out of prison to Eye of the Tiger by Survivor.
Having fun today. Every time someone comes out of the bathroom, Todd plays Eye of the Tiger and we all cheer like crazy.
- @nexttokimdavis
Survivor sued Mike Huckabee for copyright infringement.
Huckabee settled with Survivor for $25,000 and allocated the funds as a campaign expense.
He was taken to court for campaign finance violations where he attempted to argue that his Eye of the Tiger rally was really a religious assembly and therefore could play Survivor's song under fair use.
With the help of Liberty Counsel, Kim Davis wrote a book, Under God’s Authority: The Kim Davis Story.
Kim chronicles her dramatic encounters with furious, fist-pounding, homosexual men and the hate mail that flooded her office.
Proceeds will go to the Liberty Counsel and not to Kentucky taxpayers, who owe $225,000 in legal fees to couples who sued for refusing to issue them marriage licenses.
A year after Kim Davis made international headlines for refusing to distribute marriage licenses to same-sex couples on the basis of religion, her hometown of Morehead, Kentucky held its first ever Pride parade.
