1. OK, and while we're at it

"We'll remove your name from your office door, your parking space, your paycheck... Stop me when you decide you want to be a real public servant and recognize your responsibility to the citizens."

2. I would not want her name on my marriage license anyway.

3. I'll say it.

I don't often use the word. As words go, it's pretty high-and-mighty. It often comes across as dismissive. But I can't avoid it here because I think it describes Kim Davis more aptly than any other.

Ignorant.

My definition: When someone has no knowledge of a subject that's important to their life yet so much complacency and lack of self-awareness that they think they're in a position to instruct others.

7. Your definition has negative connotations that I don't subscribe to.

Ignorance is simply a lack of knowledge. It is not an inability to learn, it is not necessarily a negative thing. I am ignorant of the proper techniques kneading and rising(?) bread dough, but since I don't bake, it's not that important. If I wanted or needed to bake bread, I would look it up. If I was dumb as a box of rocks, I would try to bake bread or tell other people how to do it without having the first clue about it.

Ignorant as you define it contains an attitude of arrogance that I just don't see being contained in the word.

There are lots of terms to describe Kim Davis, I don't think ignorant is one of them, but your definition of it certainly applies to her.

9. I would use willful ignorance.

10. Hmmmm.

You may be right. I'm mulling this over. I'm not sure where my definition is coming from; the dictionary definitions (M-W, AH) hint at something beyond a simple lack of knowledge, but I may be inventing a usage here. I'm wrestling with this a bit.

4. Dimwit

She actually thinks she is sanctifying marriages for GOD.

The Patron Saint of County Clerks

Word of the day is: Clerk

Word for tomorrow is: Secular

5. Methinks she has a publicist to dream up yet another reason to make the news

Kaching! She is having a huge time in her little, crabbed life. Fifteen minutes and all that.

Plus donations along with attention for her starved soul. Really quite sad, along with being horrific that someone so limited is having the time of her life by hating people in love.

6. Thank God they don't put her picture on them! Ugly is too nice a word.

8. Yep
