BC Bowl: Paging Sen. Santorum

It's been a very long time since I've even felt the need to demonstrate that Florida really is the batshit craziest state in America. But in the spirit of the new year, let's revive our rivalry with Texas (represented by the lovely and talented racy mind) and bring back the Batshit Crazy Bowl with a ... bang.

Courtesy of the Florida Progressive Coalition Blog, here's some useful information for those visiting or living in Florida:

Bestiality could be banned in Fla. following goat rape

After a goat was raped and killed in the Panhandle town of Mossy Head, animal activists, cops and citizens were almost as shocked to find out that bestiality isn’t a crime in Florida.

But not for long.

A Sunrise state senator and a St. Petersburg representative have filed legislation to make it a first-degree felony to have sex with animals.

"It’s true. It’s sick. There needs to be a law," said Democratic Sen. Nan Rich, a longtime crusader for children and animal rights. "There are 30 states that make this a crime. Florida isn’t one of them."

Florida Gov. Charlie Crist said he would sign the bill into law if it made it to his desk.

Rich said she was as shocked as she was "disgusted" when she learned of the rape and asphyxiation of a family pet goat named Meg who was pregnant with twins last year in the town of Mossy Head in rural Walton County.

A suspect in the case, a 48-year-old man, is serving an 11-month, 29-day jail sentence on animal-theft charges in connection with the attempted abduction of another goat in a separate case, according to Walton County Assistant State Attorney James Parker.

The case has it all: From a rape kit to Milk Bone Dog biscuits to a guy selling charity T-shirts for the "Mossy Head Gentlemen’s Club."

I'm still laughing at what Kenny Quinnell said about this over there at FPCB:

Okay, here are the questions this article raises:

1. “Could” be banned?
2. Seriously, a goat?
3. And why kill the goat? Afraid it was going to report the crime?
4. Bestiality isn’t illegal in Florida?
5. Only one legislator is on board with making it a crime?
6. The goat was pregnant with twins. Was this before or after….?
7. This wasn’t the guy’s first attempt?
8. Milk Bone dog biscuits?
9. Can somebody get me one of those “What Happens in Mossy Head, Stays in Mossy Head” T-shirts[?] I can think of a certain Republican legislator who needs one.

Actually, I thought of three more questions:

In which 20 states is this not illegal?

Has anyone seen Mickey Kaus lately?

How many jokes can you make out of this having occurred in "Mossy Head?"
