Pigheaded in Texas

Texas cowpunch Craig Baker got things a little mixed up. Then he got mad, then he got even - well, he thought so anyway until it turned out he had everything totally screwed up. Seems a Muslim association bought the land next to Baker's and plan to build a mosque. So they asked Baker to move his cattle off their land - you know, the land they just bought from somebody else where Baker had been keeping his cattle.

Ah, but deep thinker Baker thought the Muslims wanted to force him off his land - the land he actually owns. Of course, the Muslims never tried to buy that land and could not force him to leave. Nonetheless Baker smelled a rat - or make that a pig.

So, Baker decided to hold pig races during afternoon prayers along with grilling sausages, But, of course, he wasn't trying to offend anyone - ohhhh, no, of course not, absolutely the farthest thing from his mind. As reported on CNN.com ,Baker concedes he figured out that the Muslims didn't really want his land, but by then it was too late and he had to go through with the races. "I would be like a total idiot if I didn't. I'd be the laughingstock now because I've gone too far."

Uhh, too late Craig.
