Kentucky clerk Kim Davis returned to work Monday morning, September 14, for the first time since being jailed for disobeying a judge’s order for denying marriage licenses to gay couples, saying she wants her name and title removed from the licenses currently being issued by her office.
Choking back tears at a news conference before her return to work, a defiant Davis said she is faced with a “seemingly impossible choice …. my conscience or my freedom,” referring to her opposition to same-sex marriages.
Davis, elected last year as a Democrat, was taken into custody Sept. 3 after she refused to comply with Bunning’s order to resume issuing marriage licenses in Rowan County. She was released from jail five days later, flanked by presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, to a cheering crowd as the Survivor song “Eye of the Tiger” played.
(There’s a lawsuit pending on the unauthorized use of this song).

“Not my circus, not my monkeys”
Language: Polish
Translation: Nie mój cyrk, nie moje malpy
Meaning: Not my problem
While more cryptic than just saying “not my problem”, the Polish expression “not my circus, not my monkeys” makes perfect sense, and is a lot more fun to say. Poland can offer a traveller some difficulties in terms of cultural customs – holding your thumbs means good luck, not crossing your fingers, for example.
You’ll probably need a bit of luck, what with all those monkeys running around.

The 2001 shoe bomb plot was a failed bombing attempt that occurred on December 22, 2001, on American Airlines Flight 63. The aircraft, a Boeing 767 with 197 passengers and crew aboard, was flying from Charles De Gaulle International Airport in Paris, France, to Miami International Airport in Miami, Florida, United States, with continuing service to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix, Arizona.
The perpetrator, Richard Reid, was subdued by passengers after unsuccessfully attempting to detonate plastic explosives concealed within his shoes. The flight was diverted to Logan International Airport in Boston, under escort by American jet fighters, and safely landed without further incident. Reid was arrested and eventually sentenced to life imprisonment without parole.
