Drama with Pigs

I've been listing to podcasts of The Archers, a BBC Radio 4 show. It has been on the air for 54 years and is still hugely popular. The latest episode's synopsis:

Tony and Tom are preparing for the arrival of the new weaners when Brenda reminds Tom they are off to the cinema that evening. Tom would prefer a quiet night in as he’s up to his eyes with his organic pork enterprise and the new pigman is proving to be well away with the fairies.

(I don't quite get the bit about the fairies.)

Part of the BBC charter is to "be free from both political and commercial influence..." and the show very much manages not to be commercial.

The Southern Law Poverty Center has a page showing hate groups by state.

The McCain Whistle

Watched last night's debate at The Buck, where a friend noted that McCain sounded like Gopher from Winnie the Poo.
