No Anthony, pigs never squeal for joy! Piggy only squeals when he’s in trouble. The squeal is strictly a distress signal that can be heard for blocks. But who is going to come to a pig’s rescue?
Former Maryland State Police head Marcus Brown is the man Gov. Tom Wolf wants to run the Pennsylvania State Police and it is not sitting well with the rank and file.
Brown, 50, has chosen to wear the organization’s uniform despite never having been graduated from the State Police Academy. This is a big cultural taboo. That he has chosen to wear it shows a lack of understanding of the organization he has been picked to lead, which is a strike against him but would leave him with two more. That he is insisting on wearing it, however, shows pointless arrogance and ought to be enough to disqualify him.
Among the reasons Wolf has picked Brown is his “commitment to diversity”. The Pennsylvania State Police has had an affirmative action program for blacks and women for decades. We’d find it more comforting if Wolf’s primary goal was safe streets and highways.
Soccer More Dangerous Than Football — Noted strength trainer Mark Rippetoe of StartingStrength.com points out that soccer is a more dangerous game than football. Soccer players get 6.2 injuries per 100 participation hours compared to football players who only get .1 injury per 100 participation hours.
Rippetoe says the stronger the athlete the less likely a joint will be shoved out of position.
