The Ass Clown of the Month for May, 2014

It's getting increasingly hard to select a single recipient of the Ass Clown of the Month Award. It seems as if every day more and more ridiculous ass clowns are coming out of the woodwork, each more deserving of the award than the next. In the last few weeks alone, we have the murderous religious bigots of Boko Haram, the utterly insane Georgia legislature that has made the open carry of loaded weapons almost everywhere in the state - including bars (!) - legal, and the GOP's decision to continue to waste the people's time and resources on yet another meaningless committee hearing into the Benghazi attack, in the fervent hope that it will somehow magically turn into a politically expedient scandal. How can I possibly select from among this embarrassment of riches?

Well, it's a tough job, but someone's got to do it and it looks as if I'm it. Dear Readers, Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you my selection for the Ass Clown of the Month ...

Chris Sevier

Mr Sevier attempted to intervene in a Florida same-sex marriage lawsuit "on behalf of other minority sexual orientation groups," according to a local newspaper, which noted that Mr Sevier's motion was "obviously an attempt to punk the legal system because he doesn't agree with gay marriage." Mr Sevier, an attorney and a music producer, had filed a motion demanding the right to marry his preferred sexual object ... his porn-loaded laptop computer.

Mr Sevier stated in his motion that if gay couples "have the right to marry their object of sexual desire, even if they lack corresponding sexual parts, then I should have the right to marry my preferred sexual object."

In a burst of judicial wisdom not often seen in today's litigious society, Judge Robert Hinkle wrote the following in his ruling dismissing Mr Sevier's motion ...

"Perhaps the motion is satirical. Or perhaps it is only removed from reality. Either way, the motion has no place in this lawsuit."

"Removed from reality." I wonder if Faux News has picked this one up yet.

For wasting the time of courts that have better things to do, and for making an utter fool of himself, Chris Sevier is named our Ass Clown of the Month for May, 2014. 

Case dismissed.

Have a good day. More thoughts tomorrow.
