Insomniac Seeks Refuge

Okay, I'm going to babble incoherently now. I begin writing this at 4:00am because I can't sleep. Waiting for a sleeping pill to kick in. I'm sitting at my desk, talking to myself as I look at Trump's fat smug face in post after post on Twitter, and I'm saying aloud: "I can't believe he's the fucking president of the United States." I'm saying it over and over in disbelief.

Is Judge Vance Day anti-gay AND anti-Semitic?

Here's an update to my earlier blog about Judge Vance Day, the Marion County (Salem, Oregon) judge currently being investigated after he announced he would not perform same-gender marriages.

It now turns out that the allegations against him from staffers cross into WTF territory. He required a picture of Hitler to be on the wall, and alleges he did it to honor Veterans!

Oregon judge: Hitler photo was hung to honor veterans

According to a KOIN6 online article, "A judicial assistant working under Judge Day said he hung pictures in her work space even though she expressed that she did not want them."

The article goes on to report that court documents reveal: “When his judicial assistant removed the items while Judge Day was on vacation, Judge Day told her that he is a ‘benevolent dictator’ and that she ‘works at his pleasure.'”

Marion Co. judge accused of ethical misconduct

On Monday, November 9, 2015 at 9:00 a.m., there will be a Public Hearing at the Willamette Heritage Center, Dye House, 1313 Mill Street SE, Salem, Oregon.

Before Judge Day gets his day in court, let's hope the people of Marion County demand justice be served and insist this judge be benched from the bench.
