5. speaking of Donkeys
Donkey in Shrek does a good job of putting a good spin on our mascot.

Anyone interested in the history of the mascots?

http://www.democrats.org/about/donkey.html

The Democrats think of the elephant as bungling, stupid, pompous and conservative -- but the Republicans think it is dignified, strong and intelligent. On the other hand, the Republicans regard the donkey as stubborn, silly and ridiculous -- but the Democrats claim it is humble, homely, smart, courageous and loveable.
