The newest "This Just In" item comes courtesy of CNN.com (see URL below), which reports that "State Sen. Frank Shurden, a Democrat from Henryetta and a long-time defender of cockfighting" wants to revive a legalized, altered version of cockfighting in the state of Oklahoma. Apparently, Mr. Shurden is disappointed cockfighting was outlawed in 2002 in his state, and he suggested that roosters be fitted with "little boxing gloves" and "chicken-sized vests configured with electronic sensors to record hits and help keep score." He elaborated by indicating that cockfighting is a $100-million business, and he thinks that, if his suggestions are implemented, the business could be revived and again be productive.
I'm not even sure where to begin, so I will just say this: I thank the lord for politicians like Marion Barry and this newest member of the Bowel-Movement-In-A-Suit club, Frank Shurden.
I haven't laughed out loud that heartily for quite some time.
Please, please, please...would someone please tweak Mr. Shurden's dose? He needs a boost. Or a lobotomy. Or both.
