Willie Nelson Wants to Be a Horse

Willie Nelson sings the praises of horses in a heartfelt but slightly nutty opinion for CNN about the upcoming Senate vote on the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act. The country crooner waxes poetic on equines' enduring ability to help and even heal humans, and points out that eating horses probably isn't very smart due to the chemicals used to treat the beasts. Horses are cool and all, but when Nelson writes, "I'd rather be a horse," you've got to wonder if he's thought through the issue to its logical conclusion. It'd be pretty tough to roll a joint with your hooves, Willie.
