hahah! excellent. they both have to be so embarrassed.

I'd say even the transcript is likely NSFW. You would probably rather not explain to your coworkers why your jaw is on the floor, either. Thanks for posting this during prime worktime, Double X!

oh my gawd

Baaahahaha. Best thing I've read all week.

That's hilarious!

And he's a 'tech' consultant ? I hope he's not an 'information technology' consultant.

Creepy, creepy, creepy!

Cringe-worthy it was. At least, Gov. Sanford's emails was somewhat romantic; this just made me want to shower.

"The Nazis, who eventually amassed 50 million pages detailing their crimes, were also thorough record keepers."

Really? Polygamy = Holocaust, Jeffs = Hitler, FLDS = Nazis?

I don't think the article was saying that FLDS = Nazis. The only clear equivalency the article makes is that both documented their crimes (it didn't necessarily say their crimes were equally bad). I think it's an interesting observation.

If it's just that both were "thorough records keepers," it's a pretty random observation that doesn't tie well into the rest of the article, the point of which seems to be that given the unwillingness of the victims of the crime in question (statutory rape) to testify against the defendant, these thorough records provide the evidence prosecutors ... See Moreneed to prove their case. It would make more sense and come off as less Godwin-esque if there were some mention of how the Nazis' records were ultimately used against them (e.g. at the Nuremberg trials).

This is a fantastic article. It really hits home and raises important questions about the rights of pregnant women.

There's a link between what these judges are doing and the paternalism in Justice Kennedy's opinion in Gonzales v. Carhart, the Supreme Court's decision allowing a ban on late-term (so-called partial birth) abortion to stand. Father Knows Best. --Emily
