This Blog Entry Not for Children - or Foals


I Googled "redneck news" and found a LOT of news, but this one jumped out at me. How could it not?

Last year in Columbia, Tennessee, 58-year-old James Michael Tait was arrested and charged with animal cruelty for having sex with a horse.

When I first read the headline I thought, "What?" Then I started running puns through my head, like, "Some men like to do it with horse (instead of whores)" and "Gives a whole new meaning to jockey shorts."

But then I kept reading. (It is like a train wreck. How could I not?) Tait got into trouble in Washington state in 2005 for filming another man, Kenneth Pinyon, having sex with a horse. (Tait is a determined dude.) Then I read the next sentence: "Pinyon later died of internal injuries from the incident."

What. The. Horse? I admit I made an assumption. When the writer said the men were "having sex with" the horses, I assumed, how can I say this delicately (or are we past that?)...the men were using ladder or platform or whatever and were "on top." I was wrong.

I guess these guys were looking for someone "hung like a horse," and they found it. They found it all over the US, and they filmed it. Mr. Pinyon did not survive, but his achievement is forever memorialized on film.

I wonder how long before Tait is back in the saddle again.

When he's done, does Tait get hosed off and brushed?
