If this is Rosa Parks ...
... then this is me
I just finished reading an Associated Press report about the furor in Morehead, Ky., yesterday, when a deputy county clerk started issuing marriage licenses again to same-sex couples.
Of course, this set off more shouting matches between the different camps of people who have flocked to Morehead to bear witness to history. One of them, Elizabeth Johnston, is reported to have screamed, "Don't let Kim's five days in jail be in vain." Kim, of course, is Kim Davis, who decided her religious beliefs trumped federal law, stopped issuing licenses to same-sex couples, and went to jail.
Johnson, in a statement oozing irony as thick as the Earth's crust, tried to colorize Davis with the paintbrush of civil rights-but she wound up painting with the wrong end of the brush.
"We want her to be our Rosa Parks," she said.
As Frank Zappa observed, “Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe."
