In one country they are slaughtering pigs, another has banned the sale of pork chops. My advice: Don’t read books like “Charlotte’s Web” or “Pigs in Heaven” or watch reruns of “Green Acres” and by all means avoid either of the “Babe” movies. And definitely, definitely don’t even think about Porky Pig. Th th th that’s all, folks

Or, you can allow yourself to be spoonfed what the liberal, biased networks (CNN, MSNBC) want to tell you. Everything is not rosy, and it is not all Former President Bush’s fault. Wake up and think for yourselves!

TIMES OF INDIA:23/6/2009

NEW DELHI: The risk of a failed monsoon has risen manifold with the World Meteorological Organisation warning of a “substantially elevated risk” of
this being an El Nino year.

El Nino is a periodic weather anomaly that saps the monsoon of its strength on most of the occasions it occurs. It is marked by warming of Pacific waters that slow down the trade winds blowing from South America towards South East Asia.

IF IT IS NOT STUNAMI, THEN IT IS EL NINO
