just when I was feeling like Utah was settling down

Every time I think to myself that Utah isn't really that much weirder than the rest of the world...

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (AP) -- A judge will ask the state Supreme Court on Wednesday to let him stay on the bench after a commission that oversees judges ordered him dismissed because he has three wives.

The State has in the last few years been taking a fierce stand against guys with lots of wives. Not only are they trying to eliminate it through legal means, but they are getting a lot of help from the local church majority who have kindly eliminated references to it in most of their current literature.

That Walter Steed, who has been a judge for 25 years and happens to have more than one wife, should be the next target only makes sense.

Personally I worry that if his legal career is destroyed through this, there will be nothing left for Mr. Steed but to be put out to stud.

I came across this article in the paper. My thing is that if plural marriage is illegal, I thought it was, why is he even allowd to be a judge.

I don't see what all the excitement is about. Come on! It's a judge from HILDALE!! Of course he's a polygamist. Where are they going to find a monogamist willing to live in HILDALE?
