Shatner Saving Israel...i Horses?

"William Shatner has embarked on a new mission -- to Israel.
It's there that the 75-year-old actor hopes that horses will help raise funds aimed at bringing peace to the Middle East."

Wonderful. Let's hope it ends the years of violence.

"Shatner and his wife, Elizabeth, who are both serious equestrians, were in Israel Monday visiting riding centers and promoting therapeutic riding -- a method where disabled people gain strength by horseback riding."

HUH? What kind of twist is that? Did The Onion release this and it got picked up by mainstream media? I refuse to believe this.
