Pigs in the News: Dutch scientists are now growing pig meat in petri dishes, with the goal of producing bacon strips. I do not lie. A pack of wild pigs got onto the German Autobahn and stopped traffic for awhile and considering that people drive 150 miles an hour on that road, I would think all the resulting grease spots should have produced plenty of spin-outs, but none were reported. And pigs in Minnesota are coming down with H1N1, which after all IS swine flu, anyway, so why is that news?

Another big pig, in the eyes of some, is the tax on banks Obama wants to impose. He says he wants the bailout money back that the banks were literally forced to take when many of them didn’t want it. Most of them have already paid it all back but that doesn’t seem to matter much. Obama talks like they all still owe it. They don’t.

What the banks are doing is, they’re still handing out billions of $$ of yearly bonuses to their top people, though less now than before our economy crashed. Obama doesn’t like highly paid people being highly paid and he wants to ‘redistribute’ their income by taxing banks so heavily, whether they’ve paid back their loans or not, that they can’t afford to hand out those big bonuses anymore.

This will cause those top execs to go elsewhere and cause the banks to hire less capable people at lower pay, and as bank problems and mis-management increase, more and more of them will be taken over by the Federal Reserve, which is exactly the idea for doing this. Bring down America. How’s that for a pig?

The (oink, oink) Health “Reform” (Ha ha ha hahahahahahaaaaa) Bill is going to exempt the Amish religious sect from having to buy into government-run health care insurance on religious grounds, because the Amish rely on each other and their church to pay for medical care, and this supposedly constitutes a form of health insurance.

Oh yeah? Okay, how about Voodoo practitioners? Voodoo is a religion and they heal with Voodoo — supposedly. What about Seventh Day Adventists, aka Holy Rollers, who only believe in healing through prayer? Gonna make them buy state insurance? Don’t think they’ll sue if it’s tried? What about me? What if I refuse it on religious grounds and refuse to state my religion because doing so is against my religion?

See, by exempting the Amish or anyone on religious grounds, the door is thrown wide open for anyone to refuse to buy government health insurance, because of our laws regarding religion. Oink, oink.

The World Health Org., a branch of the United Nations, which is a whole pig farm in itself, wants to tax the Internet worldwide to fund itself. There’s a sow that will never fly.

Liz Peek of Fox News has a new article out proclaiming that we should somehow make Haiti like us, that we should “turn around the attitudes and fortunes of these desperate people” and make Haiti a prosperous little island nation.

How should we do that, Liz? I guess first we need to send over thousands of Christian missionaries to get them away from Voodoo, we’ll no doubt have to take over their shoddy, corrupt little government, build factories and put them all to work, build hospitals and schools and a whole new infrastructure to provide them with cheap electricity, clean water and good sewage treatment facilities and sanitation.

In the meantime, the average wage there is under $2 a day, and the people are skinny and need food, shelter and clothing because about a third of their homes have been knocked flat. So we will need to provide all that stuff for the 3 million or so homeless people.

Let’s see. There’s only 9 million people altogether so if we quit taking care of our own country and focus only on Haiti for about the next ten years, that would be a good start. Of course, the American people will have to pay a lot more taxes too, to pay for it. Great idea, Liz. Another flying pig. Why don’t we just offer to rebuild the whole world? I mean, it’s not as if we had any problems here at home.

And speaking of pigs, the last pig on the list is Hugo Chavez who visited Haiti in 2007, declaring his great love for and unity with Haiti, and calling the U.S. “the cruelest empire – the most cynical, criminal murderous which has ever existed.”

Nice of him, especially since that cheap, lying bastard has only sent one planeload of supplies to Haiti after the earthquake compared to the massive relief and rescue effort from us. What a hog.
