Stranger than fiction

Or, to put it another way - another example of God as a hack writer. Those of you who do not read the local paper may have missed  This story  from yesterday's front page.

Why would the federal government fly a Navy officer, his Samoan wife and her unemployed sister from Hawaii to Minnesota to appear in a small St. Paul, Minn. courtroom?

Would you believe an alleged extortion plot involving the Samoan mafia, an exotic dancer from Guam, her love child, a fearful farm family from Granite Falls, Minn., Mexican hit men purportedly hired by Walmart, and the dreaded Los Burritos gang?

That's the reason. Really.

I surely hope those three get very long sentences, and 66 cents out of every dollar they make for the rest of their lives goes to his folks and sister.
