Protecting Us From Our Own Perversions

State Sen. Jim Hughes (R-Dublin) is shocked -- shocked! -- that bestiality is not illegal in Ohio.  He calls the practice "sick, perverse, and deviant.  We should not allow it."

Consequently, Hughes is trying to outlaw it via a tack-on amendment to the state's budget.  Of course, boning a sheep has absolutely no budget implications, but, you know, what the hell.

Hughes

Public servant Hughes has a history of trying to legislate morality and criminalize certain behaviors he personally finds disgusting.  He was once shocked -- shocked! -- to learn that drinking urine was legal in Ohio.  (Click the link.)

It's not that I condone piss-drinking or sex with farm animals.  I just happen to believe that trying to legislate against it is both fruitless and funny.
