Horse's Head Dumped In Upstate (N.Y>) Councilwoman's Pool
wnbc.com ^ | July 25, 2006

An upstate councilwoman found a severed horse's head in her swimming pool on Tuesday, state police said.

Wawayanda Councilwoman Gail Soro and her husband had used the pool Monday night and the head was not in the water at that time.

"There have been some prior instances of harassment directed toward her, more than likely as a result of her position on the Town Board," said Lt. Pierce Gallagher. "We're looking at a threat as a possible angle. Certainly, we can't rule that out."

The horse appeared to be dead for "three to four days, probably no more than a week," Gallagher said.

One of the most famous scenes in "The Godfather" showed a movie mogul waking up with a horse head in his bed after he refused to bow to the will of the title character, played by Marlon Brando.

Wawayanda is 106 miles southwest of Albany.

Is there an award for 'most stunningly obvious sentence in a journalistic report'?

That thing is likely to void the warrantee on the pool filter.

I guess I've led a sheltered life.
I never knew John Elway had a nickname of "Mr Ed".

THIS is the Mr Ed I was referring to.
