Whoa, ease up on the Smilex^TM, Reese.

Digitalstrange		2012-05-12 10:23:45 AM

Not exactly a difficult legal issue. He wasn't legally competent to enter a marriage contract that would be invalidated anyway because he was still married to someone else. And if the judge is married he should have no trouble finding anyone who wants 2 wives mentally incompetant.

At least I've got my line when I get caught cheating on my wife: "Come on! I'm an old man. I'm confused! I thought I married her. What's my name? Will you take me home?"

tomWright		2012-05-12 10:31:46 AM

So Reese has daddy issues?

Exxxcelent

" Probate judge Randy Kennedy was assigned to rule in the case because his area of expertise is conservatorship and cases regarding diminished mental capacity."

I guess this sort of thing happens all the time in Tennessee

TravisBickle62		2012-05-12 10:38:29 AM

Least he didn't marry his cat

MaudlinMutantMollusk		2012-05-12 10:41:19 AM

If those aren't the lyrics to a country song, they damned sure ought to be

Im guessing it was a emergency ruling to jump ahead of the 2 year line.

The entertainer's father is a physician and has struggled with alcohol abuse, hoarding, compulsive spending and recently lost his medical practice ...

So you're saying she has daddy issues?

Well, then.

Grey Street		2012-05-12 10:52:29 AM

Stop it with the goddamn hashtags in the headlines.

Grey Street: Stop it with the goddamn hashtags in the headlines.

This. It's become an annoying trend within the last three months.

Chariset		2012-05-12 11:30:35 AM

Reese has two mommies?

GAT_00		2012-05-12 11:37:24 AM

Grey Street: #stophastagsinheadlines.

Fixed.

Another Government Employee		2012-05-12 11:50:41 AM

Yep. Only thing missing is the dog dying.

This would also make a pretty wicked novel.

zato_ichi		2012-05-12 11:52:22 AM

I want your family and friends to die of cancer, and for you to live a long, lonely life, submitter and admin.

I have spent the last eight months investigating adult guardianship cases for the local court. Ugh. They are not fun times, and I do it wish them on anyone. Plan ahead people. You don't want the courts deciding who your guardian is going to be.

As to the marriage I can say its it that uncommon with people who have diminished capacity to forget about one spouse or refusing to believe they are married.

lyndsayj		2012-05-12 01:20:42 PM

Am I the only one who started hearing the Butthole Surfers' "Pepper" after reading that headline?

flixter		2012-05-12 01:37:36 PM

Clearly gay marriage is at fault for this, what with its destruction of tradition marriage and all.

weiner dog		2012-05-12 02:17:50 PM

More sad than sick.

Toshiro Mifune's Letter Opener		2012-05-12 03:00:11 PM

Enough with the hashtags in the headlines.

Next time, I'm breaking this mammajamma out:

No

You could open a can of soup with her chin it's so sharp.

DonkeyDixon		2012-05-12 08:35:44 PM

Headline made me think of my all-time favorite Fresh Prince quote: "Little Billy took a drink but now will drink no more, for what he thought was H2O was H2SO4"

Splinshints		2012-05-12 09:07:03 PM

I haven't noticed a hash tag trend in headlines, but since I hate Twitter any time it isn't being used as a weapon against a middle eastern regime, I agree with the people complaining.

Lsherm		2012-05-12 10:10:20 PM

weiner dog: More sad than sick.

Actually, it's all sad. Subby must be a real asshole.

No, you very much were not.

JonZoidberg		2012-05-13 12:29:26 AM

Well, look at that. Seeing her dad's name is John Witherspoon, it reminded me that my grandfather told us years ago that we were descended from a John Witherspoon that signed the declaration of independence. Wikipedia says Reese is descended from him too. I am proud to say that I've grown up in the south and this is the first time I've ever wanted to fark one of my (albeit far-off) cousins. Yee-haw!

Conservatorship is not something entered into lightly, easily, or cheaply. Especially if he fights the process.

Makes me glad I come from a long line of people who had their full wits about them until the very end. Well, as many wits as they started with. :)

In his last few years, my grandpa became concerned with the possibility that his mind might go. "If you're worried about it at your age, you probably don't need to worry about it."

I agree in full and under no duress. I'm on the verge of taking the 3 key off of my keyboard I'm so ~~tired of~~ infuriated by seeing #tacosrule #pizzasdotoo every time some hipster wants to "emote" something. It's the next generation of evil, to accompany those horrid smilies.

Dialectic		2012-05-13 05:42:04 AM

what do you expect from inbred, ignorant rednecks from Tennessee?

catzies		2012-05-13 11:39:55 AM

It works when you sing it to one of the old Hee-Haw tunes:

"...if it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all...gloooooom, despaaaair and agony on MEEEEEE!"

/grew up watching Hee-Haw
//don't care if you judge me
