Citizen of Oa

Musings on anything and everything from a middle-aged comic book geek, father, husband, and sufferer of chronic illness. What does the title mean? In DC Comics, Oa is the planet at the center of the Universe where the Guardians pursue justice and order through their intergalactic police force, the Green Lanterns. To be a Green Lantern you must be capable of overcoming fear. You don't have to be from Krypton or be an orphaned billionaire, you just have to be The Right Person.

Destiny!

The Legend of GLFAN2814

What a hoot.

If Kim Davis...

If Kim Davis --

-- had been a Muslim who refused to issue driver's licenses to women,

-- or a Quaker who refused to issue gun licenses,

-- or ANY of the other "[insert religion here] who refused to issue [insert taboo here]" jokes that have been bandied about since this whole stupid mess started...

...we would not be having this conversation. She would be impeached so fast there would be a Warner Brothers cartoon Kim Davis-shaped cloud behind her desk.

Just do your effing job.
