Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The federal government wastes your tax dollars worse than a drunken sailor on shore leave. The 1984 Grace Commission uncovered that the Department of Defense spent $640 for a toilet seat and $436 for a hammer. Twenty years later things weren't much better. In 2004, Congress spent a record-breaking $22.9 billion dollars of your money on 10,656 of their pork-barrel projects. The war on terror has a lot to do with the record $413 billion in deficit spending, but it's also the result of pork over the last 18 years the likes of: - $50 million for an indoor rain forest in Iowa - $102 million to study screwworms which were long ago eradicated from American soil - $273,000 to combat goth culture in Missouri - $2.2 million to renovate the North Pole (Lucky for Santa!) - $50,000 for a tattoo removal program in California - $1 million for ornamental fish research Funny in some instances and jaw-droppingly stupid and wasteful in others, The Pig Book proves one thing about Capitol Hill: pork is king!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pigs are traditionally thought of as nothing more than meat at a barbeque, a dirty animal, with no other worth. This story will hopefully change your opinion of "the other white meat" and see that they are intelligent creatures and can react to what other animals usually can't, except dogs. Pigs really do care? John Jackson was born in Gary Indiana in 1946 and moved to Nunica, Michigan, in 1949 with parents to a farm. He loved farming and raising animals and fishing and hunting in the wooded area on the farm and upper Michigan. Jackson became interested in police work and worked in LaPorte County for two different towns and some extra work on Laporte County Sheriff's Department. He worked many years in safety and safety management in the trucking industry. His fondest memories and passions were raising animals and studying their thought processes. He have found in his research that different animals have so much more intelligence than we give them credit for, which is why Bacon the Pig story was born. His favorite truism is that if you received anything good from him, it came from God, so He gets all the glory.
