I love mules/donkeys and also elephants. Both animals should sue the DNC and RNC for defamation.

"I love mules/donkeys and also elephants."

One of my favorite movie characters as a kid was Francis the Tallking Mule. Actor Chill Wills did the voice.

“Solomon said her father bought Lou years ago to help her and her late sister, Blue, around the farm.”

Well, I’d say his idea worked out well...

Rhinos certainly have gotten a bad image lately:

I've never seen a good RINO.

Mules/donkeys are great animals but they are so stubborn. I never saw the film. I will have to look around.

There were a series of Francis films made with Donald O’Connor in the ‘50’s. There’s a DVD on Amazon with several of the original movies. The last film “Francis in the Haunted House” featured Mickey Rooney, and a different voice actor who impersonated Chill Wills’ voice. I noticed that “Francis in the Navy” has been released on DVD. The copy I have is on VHS. I believe the one with Rooney has so far only been released on VHS.
