Thelma told Juanita about this odd Republican move in Congress.

A Republican representative has introduced a spending bill amendment aimed at promoting the use of contraception – by horses.

Rep. Dan Burton (R-Ind.) introduced the amendment, which would control the population of wild horses and burros as an alternative to the costly practice of capturing the animals and holding them in pens, which the Bureau of Land Management currently employs.

“Okay,” Juanita responds, “So Republicans are trying to cut Title 10 funding, which includes birth control for humans, so they can give birth control to horses?”

“Honey,” Thelma quipped, “Republicans have come to like being associated with ‘horsin’ around’, if ya know what I mean, and I know you do.”
