A Los Angeles Times editor, hoping to give his journalists a break from reporting the often grim news in America's second-largest city, offered an unusual morale booster Monday: pony rides.
Managing Editor Doug Frantz ..."I hope it boosted morale..."
Like many major U.S. newspapers, the Times, forced to compete with news Web sites on the Internet, has seen circulation decline.

No, these people are just simply out of their damn minds. I guess you have never read the LA Slimes.
Typical liberal bullshit. Unicorns and Fairies. Pie in the Sky crap.

The reporters were mean to the ponies.

Actually they were riding Jackasses. Symbol of the dimocRAT party.

Hair, your bay Arab (cross?) and the pony are both very attractive. Quite a fancy pony! My compliments.

Nice pic collection on your profile. Especially the Einstein.

The Bay Arab is an old man... 24 years old now... Well, don't tell him and he won't figure it out for years yet.

Like many major U.S. newspapers, the Times, forced to compete with news Web sites on the Internet,... about 30 others rode three ponies and a horse during the noon lunch hour before the animals were put away to protect them from the heat. Hey FR doesn't offer pony rides, especially in 100% noonday heat.. The phony ba$tards think that killing a couple of ponies to heatstroke will enhance perverted employee moral.. On second thought it just might.. Never mind.. :)
