3. I clicked on it because I thought it said he raped a tree.

I was all set to read about some unthinkably salacious arboreal outrage, but no.

4. O.K., THAT got a giggle out of this retired social worker.

:hi:

However, that having been said, I'm glad they got him on something; that dude just NEEDS to go to jail for a long time. If ever someone needed to be isolated from society for a LONG time, it's him (along with just about every member of this Mis-administration).

6. Sorry about that!

5. Did he get some strumpets with that tee?

Uh... wait... what? :evilgrin:

Now that I've milked some humor out of the OP headline, I sincerely hope this jerk gets the book thrown at him.

7. I have been following that trial.

Warren Jeffs is a POS to the max. I am surprised that the jury returned a guilty verdict on both counts...but I am sure as hell am glad they did.

8. .......

listening to the girls tetimony of how she was shaking and scared was hard to hear. I don't understand ppl like him. this is why polygamy isn't a good idea.

9. I don't like this guy or any of his ilk -

and I sincerely hope the judge gives him the maximum possible punishment. I'd really like to see the entire group rounded up and deprogrammed, frankly - because getting rid of Jeffs isn't going to stop what is happening in Colorado City and Hildale. He's just the latest in a line of "prophets" who have found the perfect scam - all the money and women and power they can handle.

At the same time, I can't condemn polygyny, polyandry or any other form of plural marriage. In and of itself, without a fundamentalist religious basis and practiced between CONSENTING ADULTS, it is simply an alternative lifestyle. Not one I'd choose for myself, but then there are many things out there that don't ring my chimes!

What Jeffs and his sick "religion" espouse is a grotesque distortion of that alternative, and they're not the only ones. This is a pretty good overview: http://www.rickross.com/groups/polygamy.html

10. Ha! Big story on Good Morning America this a.m. about how many polygamist

communities are still out there. This has to be making Romney uncomfortable.
