No, I'm NOT being metaphorical nor am I kidding. If I wasn't having so much fun laughing at Ronnie Earle, I might even wish that it weren't true.
Evidently Travis County DA Ronnie Earle - who is once again back in the running for most politically-driven DA in the nation now that Mike Nifong has been disbarred - is involved in this New Age, "re-discover your masculinity" cult called the ManKind Project. That's according to the liberal Houston Press. And boy does this outfit sound scary.
Forty men at a time strip down and do tribal dances and beat cooked chickens and such.
This is the DA, you might remember, who is conducting a politically motivated witch hunt of former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay. I know that it has nothing to do with the (non-existent) legal merits of the case against Tom DeLay, but then again Ronnie Earle's case against Tom DeLay doesn't have anything to do with the law, either. It's all about liberals' attempt to criminalize free market conservative politics. Kind of like what Putin has done in Russia.
So...please join me in mocking this sad excuse of a District Attorney and sad, sad excuse of a man.
Ronnie Earle, as if we needed any further proof, you're a real whack job.

If I’m not mistaken, I believe I saw this profiled on HBO’s Real Sex a decade ago... and it was disturbing. Nekkid men dancing ‘round a campfire and that sort of thing. Maybe this is Ronnie’s version of getting “in touch” with other dudes without having to tap dance in the john.
That chicken should’ve been blindfolded. A naked Ronnie Earl would scare the feathers off of anybody!
Naw,I think that I’d just go straight to the beating part of the program.If the chickens aren’t available ,he’d be a suitable substitute.
He may be forced to move to San Francisco,where they would welcome him with open arms and a leather outfit.
You used wacked, chicken beat and naked in the same post. THAT is subtle.
That is deeply disturbing.
Any talk coming out of the legal community?
This will would end a Republicans career. Dems will give him a standing O for this and stand in line to .... (yech!)...shake his hand.
Of course, being where he’s from, this will probably increase his popularity. The famous saying where he’s from is “Keep Austin Weird.” Playing grabass and chickenstrokin’ in the woods qualifies.
Travis County District Attorney Ronnie Earle’s name was also on the list. When contacted by the Press, he declined to comment.

Scinto had to make a choice: stay and continue with the program, or try to walk away alone along the poorly marked country roads, lost and terrified someone was close behind, hunting him down.
Scinto stayed.
In a letter to the sheriff’s office, he detailed some of the rituals and activities he witnessed:
Blindfolded walking tours in the nude;
People blowing sage smoke in his face while 50 or so naked men danced around candles;
Men sitting naked in a circle discussing their sexual histories while passing a wooden dildo called “The Cock”;
Naked men beating cooked chickens with a hammer.
At the end of the third and final day of the retreat, the leaders and staff members herded the initiates into the main room.
“They threatened us with imprisonment,” wrote Scinto. “They said that if we were married to tell the wives we loved them. They told us not to discuss any of the process that we went through. Then they let us leave.”
Fifteen days later, on July 25, 2005, Scinto’s father and sister found him dead, rotting in his apartment from a self-inflicted shotgun wound to the head.
This should covert a few right wing atheists to theism.
LOL!!!
“One would think that this headline would end his career.”
Not in Austin (Travis County).
Ever hear about “Steers and Queers” comimg from Texas?
In Travis County there ain’t many “Steers”.
That reminds me of that scene in "Magnolia" with our hero Tom Cruise as Frank T.J. Mackey, motivational speaker, yelling out "Respect the cock !"
SOMEONE, PLEASE, E-MAIL THIS TO RUSH LIMBAUGH!!!!!
