Here’s one of those “I wish I’d thought of that!” ideas from Salon in its “Bad Dad Gift Guide” (George H.W. Bush is listed as the top Bad Dad):
5. Warren Jeffs
What to get for the dad who has everything? Or at least, as many underage wives as he wants? That’s the burning question in the case of Mr. Jeffs, the leader of Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a polygamy group based in west Texas.
To his followers, Jeffs is considered a prophet. To federal authorities he’s more like a felon. Last year, he was convicted of forcing an underage girl in his sect to marry against her will. One of Jeffs’ own daughters, a 16-year-old, has accused her father of allowing a member of the sect sexually abuse her.
Gift Idea: Once again, we face a familiar problem — the recipient is behind bars. What’s more, he clearly has some problems when it comes to recognizing that female human beings might serve as something more than his domestic and procreative servants. The solution is obvious: a subscription to Bitch magazine. If there’s anyone in need of some smart, feminist cultural critique, it’s Jeffs.
It’s satire, people. Well, sort of. Back to making hash browns, eggs, turkey bacon, fruit and cream, coffee…
