I do solemnly swear, by Jeffrey Veen

I do solemnly swear

This morning, I stood before San Francisco Deputy County Clerk Maribel Jaldon, raised my right hand, and swore the following:

I, Jeffrey Veen, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of California against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of California, that I take this obligation freely, without mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties upon which I am about to enter.

Now, as a Deputy Marriage Commissioner, I will have the pleasure of binding in to matrimony my two best friends next week Saturday.

Next up, I will use my new position to repeal the Second Amendment, extend universal health care to all, and redirect this country's military budget to public schools. I am giddy with power.

The second amendment seems to be the least of your problems if you think it should be repealed.

Are you sure it's power you're giddy with?

I dunno, Jeff. I think you should go for the full ordination. Then that power is your 24/7. Plus, you can send away for a "CLERGY" sticker for you car window, entitling you to good parking at hospitals!
