And… Las Vegas
I plan to write a bit here and there about my experiences in this strange city of Las Vegas, just as a warning. We’ve already encountered a “professional” poker player at a dinner party who claimed that Bush is a reptilian changeling after spouting Illuminati conspiracies; seen slot machines at our neighborhood gas station, grocery stores, etc.; and visited a furniture store the size of a warehouse run by a Tommy Chong lookalike and staffed by >15 Mexican (likely) illegals overseen by two roving guys on Segways. More to come.

CNN recently had an interesting article on "the lost boys:" young men who are forced to leave the UEP for minor infractions to create more available brides.

i finished Under the Banner of Heaven a little while ago, and it was interesting to note how one of the apostates predicted Warren Jeffs ruination. i've been loosely following the case, and it seems to me that the prosecution is on shaky ground. rape is a difficult charge to prove, and while jeffs could be guilty of statutory infractions, i can't see how they will prove that he forced the plaintiff to have sex with her husband.
regardless, i really hope he takes a fall.
