Mind moving your foot? You're standing on his tongue.

Professional Kennedy and celebrity environmentalist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. decided to fly into Iowa to honor the state with his opinions on portentious matters. The Des Moines Register last week quoted him as saying that "large-scale hog producers are a greater threat to the United States and U.S. democracy than Osama bin Laden and his terrorist network."
Kennedy offered that bizarre comparison at an April 5 rally on hog farm issues in Clear Lake, Iowa, sponsored by his Waterkeeper Alliance. The White Plains-based alliance, which benefits mightily from the visibility of Kennedy's name, has been pushing a nationwide campaign against large animal-raising operations, teamed up with wealthy trial lawyers to pursue massive lawsuits against pork, chicken and beef producers for their alleged environmental sins.
So there you have it. Forget that trivial Osama bin Laden nonsense, turn the place where the World Trade Center used to be into a People's Park, and concentrate on the important stuff.Oh, hell. I just noticed Bill Quick links to this one, too...

The pigs are a environmental problem-something needs to be done to neatly dispose of the amount of crap that comes out of these big pig farms, but pig poop won't depopulate a major city.
