Some Are More Equal Than Others

Revisionist, nationalist Israeli settlers have compromised once again with the Law of the Lord. In the quest to retake the Holy Land - ostensibly to rebuild a Jewish state in the Biblical tradition - they have laid aside many of the laws set down by God (do not cover, do not steal, etc).

The newest one would be funny if it weren't being taken so seriously: watch-pigs. Apparently some enterprising security professional had a lightbulb go on his head while watching "Babe", and realized that with their loyalty, sense of smell, and highly-developed interrogation techniques, pigs would make great security professionals (and this guy could continue watching kids' movies). If it's a flop, at least every settlement will have a year's supply of bacon (and will presumably set aside kashrut for a year).

Settlers just bug me.
