"When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men living together in society, they create for themselves, in the course of time, a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it."

Now, with that out of the way, great find my man!
A couple of observations:CORNWALL, Conn. - The son of billionaire oil tycoon T. Boone Pickens was charged with burglary after he was found hiding under a table in a fly fishing shop, authorities said.
Michael Pickens, 51, spent three days in jail following his arraignment Monday in Bantam Superior Court.
He was found Sunday inside the Housatonic Meadows Fly Shop after the store's owner noticed something wrong and called police, according to state police. State police said investigators found a nearby stash of items taken from the shop and found Pickens groggy and hiding under a table inside.
A message left with a state police spokesman Friday seeking further detail was not immediately returned. It wasn't immediately clear if Pickens had an attorney.
Pickens, of Nocona, Texas, had rented a room nearby for a weekend of fishing, the Republican-American of Waterbury reported.
Pickens was indicted last year on federal securities fraud allegations in New York and had been freed on $500,000 bond under a promise to appear for future court dates and not violate the law. He faces 20 years in jail if convicted of securities fraud.
As a result of the arrest in Cornwall, Pickens was ordered to appear in U.S. District Court in New York for a bail status hearing, where a judge will decide whether to increase his bond.
1) T.Boone should have spent more time raising Junior properly and less time plotting to buy oSu.
2) There is some irony in the fact this went down in "Cornwall" and Michael Pickens is now more likely due for some "Cornholing" in the klink.

Aggie is such an easy target, that's why I almost pity them. Now Texas, on the other hand, is easy to hate.
