Differing Standards?
What would happen to you if the following was found in your car:
FBI officials said at a press conference Tuesday that [he] was found with $54,000 in cash, numerous gift cards worth an additional $10,000, 15 cell phones, four portable radios, four laptop computers, a global positioining system device, a police scanner, several pairs of sunglasses and three wigs.
First off, "positioining"? The AP and MSNBC don't have friggin' spell check (CNN doesn't even try to spell it; they just say "GPS device")? Anyhow, if you're the leader of a Mormon Sect in Nevada and Utah they think about giving you bail. Somehow I don't think that would be an option in my case.
This wacko polygamist guy is a real scumbag, and I hope they put him away for a long long time.

All of that could be considered Christmas presents for his wives, don't ya think?

Well, wives may not be the most accurate term in some cases:
//He assumed leadership of the sect in 2002 after the death of his 98-year-old father, Rulon Jeffs, who had 65 children by several women. Jeffs took nearly all his father’s widows as his own wives.//
Emphasis mine, and ICK.

Hahaha, I hadn't thought of that, Rob.

Who would want that many mothers-in-law?

Simple, Ken. He can marry them, and then they aren't mothers-in-law.

I really had no idea that Big Love was anything but silliness written well. In this day and age? How?

Fly,
You know what that makes him, right?

Yup - "Oedipus Jeffs." Heheheheh.

I wish I could find even half of that crap in my car.

All I ever find are old french fries.
