What is the world coming to when we can't rust a man with 40 wives and 60 kids anymore?

Warren Jeffs has been convicted on two felony counts of rape as an accomplice and will now spend years, if not the rest of his life, in prison.
But the Salt Lake Tribune reports that fundamentalist Morons -- I mean fundamentalist Mormons -- will continue to stay devoted to their prophet. The newspaper points to that fact that Jeffs' followers haven't increase in the year he has been in jail.

Here is a re-run of a blog I wrote about this nut at the time of his arrest.

Personally, I haven't been hot for a 13-year-old girl since I was about 14,.
So I never realized what a turn-on these young girls can be to older men until the Internet came along and exposed that a huge percentage of dirty old men are dirty old pedophiles.
This Jon Mark Karr ordeal shed light on how these dirty old guys move to Thailand to get their kicks.
And now we get the story of polygamist Warren Steed Jeffs -- arrested just outside Las Vegas on Monday -- who faces charges that he arranged marriages with 13-year-old girls and older men.
What is the world coming to when we can't trust a man with 40 wives and 60 kids anymore?

Back when I was a kid and my Mama worked as a waitress at the Marchman Hotel coffee shop, I used to drop in just about every day to get a free lunch.
One day she had a special surprise for me.
"Guess who's staying here at the hotel?" she asked me.
"Marilyn Monroe and Elvis?" I answered.
"Close," she said. "He is a blonde and sings rock and roll."
The answer was now obvious -- the great Jerry Lee Lewis.
"Great Balls of Fire."
Jerry Lee, who had a gig that night at the old MB Corral, had eaten breakfast at the hotel that morning and Mama had him agree to meet her 12-year-old son and sign an autograph.
She gave him his room number, and I nervously rode the elevator up to the top floor.
I knocked on the door.
Jerry Lee did not answer.
Instead, a girl my age opened the door. I didn't know Jerry Lee had a daughter my age.
Later in life I learned that was not his daughter.
It was his wife.
At the age of 23, Jerry Lee married Myra Gale Brown, his 13-year-old second cousin once removed.

But Jerry Lee was not the only rock star to be hot for a 13-year-old.
Bill Wyman, the bass player for the Rolling Stones from 1962 to 1991, was 47 when he began dating 13-year-old Mandy Smith in 1983.
Strange thing is the Stones guitarist had the blessing of Mandy's mom to date her daughter.
They dated for six years and then got married. Wyman was 53. Mandy was 19.
The marriage lasted just one year.
Then the story gets stranger.
After the breakup, Wyman's 30-year-old son, Stephen, decides to marry Mandy's mom, thus becoming the stepfather to his former stepmother.
Had Wyman and Mandy remarried, then Stephen would have been his father's father-in-law and his own grandfather.
And you just thought Keith Richards was the strange one of the group.
