Bell's piggies deserve a pen
The bozos ripped off poor people, destroyed public trust and, in further eroding public confidence in government, committed a crime close to treason.

ByGeorge Skelton
Capitol Journal
August 16, 2010

The writer of a letter to The Times had an appealing idea about how to handle the greedy Bell bunch: Tar and feather them and run 'em out of town.

But that suggestion by Bruce Savage of Palm Desert would not suffice.

Better wait and see whether Los Angeles County Dist. Atty. Steve Cooley and state Atty. Gen. Jerry Brown can catch up with the gluttonous gang.

Perhaps the law can recapture the taxpayers' money. Maybe even void the unconscionable public pension entitlements. Then issue jumpsuits and ship these piggy people off to some crowded public housing with concertina wire and guard towers.

1. It is funny to think of some of the wealthy as fat piggies.

Guess they would be in both public and private sector, who knows.

Although it is mean to use dog, cat, or pig references for people.

Although it is ironic.

I don't use those labels for any people, but the irony is funny even though I think it not best to think that way.

Definitions in some contexts.
Pigs are unclean full of sin.
Dogs are followers easy to train.
Cats are independent and do what they want.


All are part of pet doctrine, and not something I follow.
