Remembering our martyrs

Today is the 36th anniversary of 1968 presidential candidate Pigasus' abduction from his first press conference. According to this site, "he may have been taken to the Humane Society, or he may have ended up as dinner at the home of some Chicago police officer." Perhaps if Pigasus had instead been elevated to the nation's top executive position, we wouldn't (as the distinguished senator and racist Trent Lott opined in a very different context) have had all these problems over all these years.
