Pink Floyd’s Obama pig is missing

posted by Susan Johnson | 8:52am Wednesday April 30, 2008

There’s a $10,000 reward for its safe return:

A reward has been offered for a giant inflatable pig which floated into the Californian desert during a concert by ex-Pink Floyd star Roger Waters.
Organisers of the Coachella Festival have put up a $10,000 (£5,090) bounty, plus tickets for life, for its return.
The pig, which is the width of two buses, has a checked ballot box for US presidential hopeful Barack Obama painted on its underbelly.
Waters said “that’s my pig” as it drifted away during Sunday’s gig.
The animal’s flanks bear the slogans “fear builds walls” and “don’t be led to the slaughter”, with a cartoon of Uncle Sam holding two meat cleavers.

Given Obama’s bad day yesterday, it seems like the perfect metaphor.

One Final Word
My dear friend Michele slipped into eternity on Wednesday, February 1.   She was a remarkable woman who left a legacy of faith, determination, and love. For three years she courageously battled the ovarian cancer that eventually robbed her of her life.  A few days before she died, one of her docto

The rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated
My husband told me that there are rumors that I've died. I'm happy to report that I'm still very much alive. My cancer has gone to stage four but we are controlling it with chemo, the cancer numbers are currently in the normal range. I've stopped blogging to concentrate on my daughters and writing a

An update and a prayer request
Several people have asked about Michele's condition, and have promised to pray for her. On her behalf, I thank you for that. I spoke with her a little while ago, and she asked that I come here and tell you what's going on, and to ask you to pray for her. She isn't able to post here herself right

The peace that passes all understanding, pt. 1
I'm coming out of my normal hiding place to make a few comments. The internet is a strange place. It is often a wonderful place, a helpful place, a unifying place. But it is also alienating, cold, and is the perfect medium in which to depersonalize others. Through it, I have seen people reach out

Funny story. On Countdown last night comedian Christian Finnegan commented “Scoff if you will, Keith, but this is going to cost him with that key aging stoner and laser show enthusiast demographic.”
The same segment featured another funny story about the Faux News Network putting up a visual of freed slave and abolitionist Frederick Douglas as Lincoln’s opponent in the 1858 Lincoln-Douglas debates instead of the incumbent Stephen Douglas. (Oops.) Finnegan comments that at least they got somebody from the same era–they might have put up a pix of Michael Douglas or Buster Douglas. He went on to say that the mistake probably arose from the assumption of folks at Fox that no good Republican could ever argue on BEHALF of black people. ;)
