Oh my.

For obvious reasons, this caught my eye, even though it's been ages since I've seen a live pig.

Soldier in Iraq About to Lose Home to Hogs
   
When Warrant Officer Randell Hettinger comes home from the war, he could have new neighbors — 4,800 feeder hogs living about 1,300 feet from his front door.

That is closer than normally would be allowed — and much closer than Hettinger would like. But while he has been serving in Iraq, his home in Missouri has become the target of another battle.

On one side is the Penn family, which wants to build an indoor hog farm a quarter-mile from Hettinger’s house in Knox County in northeastern Missouri. The county requires a buffer of at least half a mile, but the Penns say Hettinger’s house is legally vacant.

Hogwash, say Hettinger and his parents. The house has been in the family for four generations, and Hettinger was living there last year before being sent overseas.

One wonders if the dysmenopausal Kansas school teacher by chance has noticed the accounts of the William Rivers Pitt posted here; they're the links on franksolich's signature.

4. Those farms stink to high heaven

Not after the pig shit's been left alone for 58 years; nowadays it looks just like dirt, and one imagines a primitive or sub-primitive couldn't even tell the difference.

This little piggy went to the convention
This little piggy went too
This little piggy stayed at home
And whined to the libs on DU
And this little piggy when weee weee weee
All the way home.
