When Pigs Fly

Not many people claim to remember the 1960's,I was in high school but can't recall much more than that,for instance I didn't remember that the Yippies nominated a pig for president at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. He was 145 pound male named Pigasus. His campaign pledge:"They nominate a president and he eats the people. We nominate a president and the people eat him." Pigasus' candidacy was cut short when his backers (The Chicago Eight,who later became The Chicago Seven) were arrested. The humans were later bailed out but Pigasus' fate remains unknown. I would say it's time to run a farm animal again,but that has happened on several occasions since the 60's!
