BBC - Doris Probst has become the first woman to win the annual hog calling contest at the Illinois State Fair in America. She is a dairy farmer from Effingham, but imitated the hog as she whooped and hollered her way to the top prize.

It's been a long time coming for the Feminists. Now I don't want to go overboard and say this is as important as the women's suffrage movement, but it's pretty damn close. And it surely has to soften the blow of Hillary not winning the Democratic Nomination. Sure there won't be a woman in the White House this year, but we do have a female hog calling champion in Illinois and that may be just as important. Banner day for the Feminsts indeed.

PS - I'm embarrassed for all the men in Illinois. No way do I let a chick steal this title in MA. Not on my watch.
