Why is David Blaine such a freak? Since when is THIS news??
On a happier note, that freaky pedophile fundamentalist/wannabe prophet Warren Jeffs is on the FBI's Top 10 Most Wanted list. Sweet.
Seriously, the FDLS freak me out a bit. One of the best books I've read (and definitely one of the top 5 non-fiction books) is Under the Banner of Heaven, by Jon Krakauer, who delves into the Mormon Church, aka The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
It's an interesting eye-opener, but especially scary is the FDLS, the Mormon Fundamentalists, who split from the main Mormon Church in the 1800s when it condoned polygamy. They're bleeding the goverment dry by collecting welfare (more than $6 million a year, since by polygamy's standards, men are married to several women, but those women are not recognized as wives - and they have broods of children. Hence, single mom-dom). It's a fascinating book and insight into one of the fastest growing religions in the world.
