Clark: 5 Wives? Meh … Grandpa’d 6

I was appalled to read that Idaho has banned an alcoholic beverage not for tasting bad, but for supposedly being in bad taste. Five Wives Vodka. Liquor regulators have determined that those three words on a label (plus photographs of five fully-dressed females) are too offensive to peddle to Gem State booze hounds. Well, I am offended. And not because I’m a vodka lover, either. I’m offended because this ban is an insult to my own polygamist roots/Doug Clark, SR. More here.

Question: Are there any polygamists in your family tree?
