Men Accused Of Abusing Donkey.....
Fla. Men Accused Of Abusing Donkey

POSTED: 9:05 am EDT July 13, 2006

PENSACOLA, Fla. -- Two men accused of abusing a donkey in Escambia County will appear in court in a few months. Authorities said Matthew Ramsey and Terry Skinner dragged the animal behind their pickup almost 80 yards in March. A rope was tied around the donkey's neck, with the other end tied to the truck's bumper.

Ramsey and Skinner told police they were trying to get the animal to Skinner's home. They face charges of animal cruelty. Their court hearing is Sept. 5.

As for the donkey, 5-year-old Jenny is expected to make a full recovery.

3. LOL! And what's really troubling is that it isn't at all hard to picture.
Orrin Hatch. Tom DeLay. Dick Cheney.

The whole gang.

7. I'm thinkin' Jeff Gannon ran a legitimate escort business.
I'm not getting his reporter creds in the mix, though. Not sure how that's reconciled, or even IF it's reconciled.

He surely did make a lot of visits to the White House for no apparent reason, didn't he?

Anyway, I don't know what's going on with this story on the donkey, but I don't like seeing animals treated badly, no matter whether they are anonymous plow animals or famous race horses.

And fair or not, it reminds me of the reports of Dubya's younger days blowing up frogs with firecrackers.

It just doesn't sit right.

Bizarre Sex Habits of The Extreme Right-Wing

Reported by Ellen - May 06, 2005

Last night, anti-abortion extremist Neal Horsley was a guest on The Alan Colmes Show, a FOX News radio program. The topic was an interesting one - whether or not an internet service provider should allow Horsley to post the names of abortion doctors on his website. Horsley does that as a way of targeting them and one doctor has been killed. In the course of the interview, however, Colmes asked Horsley about his background, including a statement that he had admitted to engaging in homosexual and bestiality sex.

At first, Horsley laughed and said, "Just because it's printed in the media, people jump to believe it."

"Is it true?" Colmes asked.

"Hey, Alan, if you want to accuse me of having sex when I was a fool, I did everything that crossed my mind that looked like I..."

AC: "You had sex with animals?"

NH: "Absolutely. I was a fool. When you grow up on a farm in Georgia, your first girlfriend is a mule."

AC: "I'm not so sure that that is so."

NH: "You didn't grow up on a farm in Georgia, did you?"

AC: "Are you suggesting that everybody who grows up on a farm in Georgia has a mule as a girlfriend?"

NH: It has historically been the case. You people are so far removed from the reality... Welcome to domestic life on the farm..."

Colmes said he thought there were a lot of people in the audience who grew up on farms, are living on farms now, raising kids on farms and "and I don't think they are dating Elsie right now. You know what I'm saying?"

Horsley said, "You experiment with anything that moves when you are growing up sexually. You're naive. You know better than that... If it's warm and it's damp and it vibrates you might in fact have sex with it."

4. There was a case similar to this in our area a few months ago.
The man got 15 days jail time for animal abuse.
