..."Polygamist Sect Leader Extradited to Texas for Trial," was accompanied by the above photograph. The caption reads, "Warren S. Jeffs, no hat, was arraigned Wednesday in Texas."
And I thought, yeah, I guess that is the easiest way to identify Jeffs -- he's the only one in the picture without a ten-gallon hat. And then I thought, why are all those other guys wearing the same hat? Is it a Texas thing? Are they Texas Rangers, or something? Is that part of the uniform in the twenty-first century? Is it mandatory?
"Where's your hat, Johnson?"
"I guess I left it at home."
"Well, then, you'll just have to go back and get it."
Or do they all just imagine themselves as Cartwrights?
