Have you ever seen a horse that looks like Ian Paisley? What I mean by this of course is, have you ever seen a horse that looks like this horse I'm writing about that doesn't exactly look like Ian Paisley but has one, maybe two features that remind me one way or another, perhaps inexplicably, of Ian Paisley? It has, I should explain, nothing to do with this horse's habit for rolling on its back in warm weather, or its large eyes, or its hatred of homosexual horses, or its predisposition to colic, or its inhumanity, or its strange laughing neigh: these things could just as easily have reminded me of, say, Mitt Romney and this horse definitely reminds me of Ian Paisley. It screams Ian Paisley from every inch of its sweating, steaming flanks. Come to think of it, don't all horses look like Ian Paisley?
Look at me writing about horses when I haven't seen a real horse in months. Anyone would think I had an agenda.
