Harrisburg Hoser Award

I can't call this daily or weekly or monthly or annual because I just do it whenever I feel like it.

Several worthy recipients have come forward to show they are deserving of the second Harrisburg Hoser Award, but the committee (me) has decided:

If marriage isn't defined as only a union between one man and one woman, state Rep. Arthur D. Hershey believes people will want to marry animals.

Hershey, of Cochranville, who represents the 13th District, was one of about 90 legislators, including four others from Chester County, to cosponsor the Marriage Protection Act, a bill introduced Tuesday to constitutionally define marriage in Pennsylvania.

Hershey said this week that without the bill, "down the road, people will want to marry their dogs and horses to get benefits."

The committee awards Rep. Hershey with a 3-day, 2-night trip to West Virginia and a ticket to Senator Rick Santorum's next fundraising dinner.

In all seriousness, where do these guys come up with this stuff? What alternate reality are they living in where they think about someone marrying a horse?

A response over at Speaking Freely said it best:

Could it be that Arthur is just getting a little tired of listening to his wife say that she's married a horse's ass??
