The Latest Errol Morris

According to our sources, it seems Morris has just finished up a brand new documentary, “Tabloid” aka “A Very Special Love Story” (the title is not yet final) about Joyce McKinney, a former Miss Wyoming, who, in the late seventies, abducted Kirk Anderson, a Mormon missionary in England, chained him to a bed and forced him to have sex with her. But that’s hardly the weirdest thing about McKinney or the case. After jumping bail, she was eventually sentenced in absentia to one year in prison, due to the fact that Britain, at the time, didn’t really have rape laws against men in the books. She was later accused of stalking her victim — who had since married and had children — during the 1980s and in 2008, she gained more media attention after taking her dog to Korea to be cloned.

Announcements like this make me feel all is right in the world.

    Oh yes. Speaking of animal cloning, I am quite proud of this.

    I don’t see what the big deal is. A lot of people find manacled Mormons irresistible.

    when a manacled Mormon and a donkey love each other.

    Joseph, at first I read “animal clothing”, and I thought . . .

    But now I’m going to read your blog entry.

    I was very pleased with myself about the title of that post, Sheila.

    It is a good one.

    Back when I was Miss Wyoming, I kept a whole pasture of Mormons.

    Cindy, in your year as Miss Wyoming did you visit Chugwater?

  10. Deron Bauman on June 22nd, 2010 at 12:26 pm

    snort!

  11. Cindy Scroggins on June 22nd, 2010 at 12:37 pm

    Why, yes, Phil, I did. Do you have questions?
