Pigs in Rob Reiner's "Stand By Me"

This is one of my favorite movies of all time. I recently bought the Special Edition DVD for my collection and I was surprised to find a little piggy in a scene.
At about 9 minutes into the movie, as Gordie enters his late brother Denny's room, we see a wooden pig hung on the wall, with the words "Pride - Integrity - Guts" written on it. Now that I think of it, this counts as a double P.I.G.!

The pig in politics

A rare gem: An 1881 article of the New York Times discussing a French embargo on American pork, by a protectionist French minister of Agriculture. The pork embargo was finally repealed by the subsequent French government of Mr. Gambetta, comprised of free-traders.
