I Didn't Know...

...there was a Golden Pig award. I must say, I agree with their choice of winner for this year's Golden Pig:

"Former Bloc Québécois leader Gilles Duceppe has been awarded the top prize by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, which annually hands out gold pigs to government officials it says have spent the most public dollars on the least worthwhile things.

Dressed in a tux and accompanied by a pig-costumed mascot, CTF federal director Gregory Thomas pronounced Mr. Duceppe the 2012 lifetime achievement winner at the group’s annual Teddy Awards."
