MAN ON DOG? (Lawmakers move to lower penalty for bestiality … seriously)

I read it. I don't get it. What's your point?

[gcruse]

Well, swap out 'dog' with 'child' or 'sister' and ask the same question.

You think your sister is a dog, too, eh?  Okay, but don't equate your child to one around your wife.

"Help"

State Senator Cynthia Creem? God, if I had a name like that, I'd change it right quick.

Reminds me, though, "Jersey" Joe Walcott's real name was Arnold Cream. Really.

The MA legislature is a strange place. It's real name is "Sam's Ant Farm." Really.

John Adams isn't rolloing over in his grave - he's doing jack-knifes. Ugh.

The bill would strike down several sections of the current penal code criminalizing adultery, fornication and the advertisement of abortion. It also repeals what appears to be a sodomy statute forbidding “abominable and detestable crime against nature, either with mankind or with a beast.”

Way to go Massachusetts, now you can actually love your dog too much!!! PING!!!

[End Times Sentinel]

See, I told you.  Lots of fellers like laying with beasts of the field.  I'm not weird.  You owe me an apology.

goes in the YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING category.

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

"The new law would continue to forbid “a sexual act on an animal,” but reduce possible penalties for committing such a crime, making it decidedly less illegal. Whereas the old law punished doggie-diddling and the like with hard time (a maximum sentence of 20 years) in state prison, the new measure would give activist judges the option of slapping perps with a mere two and a half years in plush local jails, or even letting zoophiliacs walk with a $5,000 fine."

Massachusetts is going to Hell in the fast lane.

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

Playing "move over rover" again.

What are we to do with you?

Note to self. Buy stock in companies that make peanut butter.

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

Oh, that is just wrong!!!

funny, but wrong.

[NeoCaveman]

funny, but wrong.

That's me.

[A. Goodwin]

Um, it's not happening. Regardless of what this hysterical author wants us to think, bestiality has not been legalized. MA has cleaned up the language of it's statutes, and apparently given judges more leeway in sentencing animal abusers, but that's hardly a fullfillment of Santorum's prophecy. I'd be willing to bet that the law this author is talking about is one of those archaic bits of code that isn't even used anymore - there's probably something else that addresses animal abuse...

She did. Her given name was Anita.

"You changed your name TO Madame Latrine?"
"Well, it's better than my old name."
"What, pray tell, was your old name?"
"Mamdame Sh!+house."

[Rutles4Ever]

My point is, the Massachusetts Legislature has disenfranchised my gay, cross-specied dog with this proposal. It's as if she doesn't count at all.

[dangus]

the worst thing is that dog did pretty well for himself.

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

It is severely loosing the penalty though.

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

loosing = loosening.

Damn fingers

[manwiththehands]

What else could you expect from Massachusetts?
