Epic Fail, Mr. Sullivan! Epic Fail!
Blogmeister Sullivan slams our prize pig

Ummmm, Dear Andrew Sullivan: I know we are often on opposite ends of the political spectrum, but usually, I find you to be such a reasonable fellow. Not today, sir!
You have crossed the line in today's Daily Dish. You have disparaged the good name and sound reputation of a Central Texas icon: one Ralph the Swimming Pig (alternately Ralph the Diving Pig) of Aquarena Springs. He used to hang out with mermaids, beeyotch! What's your claim to fame?
As the mother of a Bobcat (some might say the Bobcat), I demand a retraction.
No, sir, you do not mess with Texas! And not with our beloved porcine puddle jumper. Take it back! Now!
