You got to hand it to Matt Drudge, he manages to see patterns of stories across the country and neatly links them together. Take these two that appear on his site today.

Firstly there's the story of a blind man accused of having sex with his guide dog in Talahassee, Florida. Quite why he didn't use the “I'm blind, I'm confused, I just thought she didn't wax her bikini line” defense, I'm not sure. But nevertheless, it's irrelevant, because, as it turns out (and I'm some what incredulous here) having sex with a dog is not a crime in Florida.

Next turn your attention to a man from the Seattle area who was not as fortunate because he “died from injuries sustained while having sex with a horse”. I'm presuming the horse (quite rightly) gave him a good kicking, because I can't imagine what else it could be unless it was some kind of...rupture (eww). It seems the horse had gotten to the point where enough was enough because:

“A significant number of people, we believe, have likely visited this farm,” said Urquhart. The farm was talked about in Internet chat rooms as a destination for people looking to have sex with livestock, he said.

It turns out, that having sex with a horse is also not against the law in the State of Washington. And here's the thing that amazes me about these stories - it's not that there are people out there who get their kicks from bestiality, it's the fact that it's completely legal in NINETEEN STATES!!

My quest is now on to find a full list of those states and cross-reference it with how they voted in the last election.
