Danish City Makes Pork Mandatory On Municipal Menus, Including For Schools And Daycare Centers…
Danish City Makes Pork Mandatory On Municipal Menus, Including For Schools And Daycare Centers… In Randers, Denmark, it’s “Pork, the other white meat” for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Too bad the rest of Europe doesn’t follow suit and tell the Muslims to keep their culture to themselves or go back.
He should name it Hollywood Pork: Texas farmer holds pig races next to new mosque
A group of Muslims bought some land in Texas, but apparently never bothered to check out how the neighboring land was being used. That was an unfortunate lapse…
This story is from 2008, but we’d never seen it until it was emailed to us by Miles, the Editor’s tax guy:
A group of Muslims bought some land in Texas, but apparently never bothered to check out how the neighboring land was being used. That was an unfortunate lapse, because the land adjacent to the planned mosque was a pig farm.
The owner of the pig farm got pissed off when the Imam called him a liar at a local planning commission meeting. So instead of getting rid of his pigs he built a track and began training the porkers to race. Now he holds pig races each week during the mosque’s Friday night services.
The pig races are pretty funny on their own, but as far as we’re concerned, the highlight of the video clip is right at the beginning when Shep Smith tries to keep a straight face while his production crew cracks up in the background.

Argentina’s president gives a whole new meaning to the term “getting porked”
Argentina’s president hot Cristina Fernandez just told her nation’s people that barbecued pork is a good alternative to Viagra.
Any time you start thinking America’s elected officials are wacky, someone from overseas steps up to demonstrate what wacky really means.
For example, Argentina’s president just told her nation’s people that barbecued pork is a good alternative to Viagra.
Reuters reports that randy details:
“I’ve just been told something I didn’t know; that eating pork improves your sex life … I’d say it’s a lot nicer to eat a bit of grilled pork than take Viagra,” President Cristina Fernandez said to leaders of the pig farming industry.
She said she recently ate pork and “things went very well that weekend, so it could well be true.”
Could we get an order of ribs to go? And maybe a couple extra Handi-Wipes, too.

Stimulus stupidity: kiss your hard-earned tax dollars goodbye
CNBC looks at ten stupid projects funded by the Obama administration’s $787 billion stimulus bill. We can’t decide if this is hilarious or depressing. Possibly both.

McCain rips everyone on earmarks — Obama, Democrats and Republicans
During the presidential campaign, the compliant liberal press believed every word Barack Obama said. Or at least they pretended they did. They assured us that when their man was elected president, he would do as he promised by eliminating earmarks and emasculating lobbyists.
Oops. Turns out there are 9,000-some earmarks in the “stimulus” bill. And lobbyists go to see the document before members of the House and Senate did.
John McCain doesn’t like it and went ballistic on the floor of the senate yesterday. “If it sounds like I’m angry,” he roared, “it’s because I am.”
His anti-earmark oratory was the kind of speech that’s rarely heard in the Senate. McCain hurled invective at President Obama, Democrats and Republicans and he used words that are equally rare in the Washington, DC gentlemen’s club known as the U.S. Senate.
“I just went through a campaign, Mr. President, where both candidates promised change in Washington, promised change from the wasteful, disgraceful, corrupting practice of earmark, pork-barrel spending,” McCain seethed. “So what are we doing here? Not only business as usual, but an outrageous insult to the American people.”
If the Arizona Republican had shown this kind of fire on the campaign trail, he might be president today.
Watch the entire five-minute video. For once, John McCain seems a lot more like “Mr. Smith goes to Washington” and a lot less like Captain Queeg.
McCain chooses Twitter to reveal Top 10 Porkiest Projects
McCain, a lifelong opponent of earmarks, released his list of the top ten porkiest projects in the Omnibus Spending bill the Congress is about to pass. Did he hold a press conference or release a statement to the press? No, instead, he went to the new media–but not Facebook or Youtube. He choose the new rising star in social media, Twitter. He merely made a tweet yesterday that began with “”Tmr I am gonna tweet the TOP TEN PORKIEST PROJECTS in the Omnibus Spending bill the Congress is about to pass”. And his 110,000 followers were instantly alerted, who in turn most likely passed it on to millions of their followers within minutes.
And today he released them. Here is John McCain’s Top 10 Porkiest Projects list:
#10. $1.7M “for a honey bee factory” in Weslaco, TX
#9. $475,000 to build a parking garage in Provo City, Utah
#8. $200,000 “tattoo removal violence outreach program to could help gang members or others shed visible signs of their past” REALLY?
#7. $300,000 for the Montana World Trade Center – enough said
#6. $1 million for mormon cricket control in Utah – is that the species of cricket or a game played by the brits?
#5. $650,000 for beaver management in North Carolina and Mississippi”
#4. $2.1 million for the Center for Grape Genetics in New York – quick peel me a grape.
#3. $332,000 for the design and construction of a school sidewalk in Franklin, Texas – not enough $ for schools in the stimulus?
#2. $2 million ‘for the promotion of astronomy’ in Hawaii – because nothing says new jobs for average Americans like investing in astronomy”
#1. $1.7 million for pig odor research in Iowa”
We’re sure the traditional media is aghast at not receiving a call first. Well, they all better sign up and start following the important people on Twitter. Like us at Twitter.com/ihatethemedia.

Welcome to 1600 Porksylvania Avenue. Can we take you on a tour?
Just based on the following comment, some crafty publisher is probably preparing a book called, “The Wit and Wisdom of Our Fearless Leader.” Because this Obama guy, he’s a laugh riot.
“I know that there are a lot of folks out there who’ve been saying, ‘Oh, this is pork, and this is money that’s going to be wasted,’ and et cetera, et cetera,” President Obama glibly noted. “Understand, this bill does not have a single earmark in it, which is unprecedented for a bill of this size…There aren’t individual pork projects that members of Congress are putting into this bill.”
To that, we say, “If that ain’t pork we smell, they must be barbecuing ribs over at Harry Reed’s house.”
If the media won’t tell you what’s in it, we will. Here, thanks to the good folks over at National Review Online, is a brief list of the pork that peppers the “stimulus” bill: Continue reading “Welcome to 1600 Porksylvania Avenue. Can we take you on a tour?”
Nancy Pelosi loves Obama’s package
An entry from Nancy Pelosi’s diary: “I couldn’t take my eyes off the tall, dark man across the room. I wasn’t ashamed of what I thought. ‘Barack has the biggest package I’ve ever seen. I know big pork when I see it. And I want Barack’s pork.'”
And then the House of Representatives voted and Nancy’s dream came true. She and her fellow Democrats passed the biggest, most pork-laden spending bill in the history of the world.
Immediately after the House of Representatives’ vote on President Obama’s stimulus package, the media began furiously spinning the results.
“Republicans voted along party lines.”
“Not one Republican voted for the president’s stimulus.”
“Republicans deny president’s bipartisan effort.”
The final tally? 177 Republicans and eleven Democrats voted “no.” 244 Democrats and zero Republicans voted in favor of the bill.
But Nancy didn’t care. She got her pork.
