Either Harry didn't receive his monthly kick-back payment or he contracted an STD the last time he was home.I bet he wishes polygamy was legal.

He really wants to kill off one of the last things keeping Nevada somewhat afloat...
Of course he wants to impose federal law in a state issue....

Aw, jeez - if we outlaw prostitution, we’ll have to send all our congressmen and senators to prison.
