Cat runs for Virginia Senate seat

[meow2u3]

It’s election time again here in the United States. In an era marked by divisiveness and sound-bite mudslinging, Americans are longing for something different. A break from politics as usual. (Cue the sublimely inspiring orchestral music and the American flag waving proudly against a clear blue sky.)

We dream of having candidates who really represent the people. Who are truly independent. Who are willing to fight to keep the promises they made on the campaign trail. Who are not swayed by lobbyists … unless they come bearing cheese.

Wait, what?

4. I don't think Hank meets the age requirement

(Unless you count it in cat years).

And I wonder if he can produce his birth certificate. He might be a Kenyan Muslim cat after all.

That said, electing him couldn't be any worse than returning Sen. Macaca for another 6 years of wasted votes.

5. a small community near here used to alternate a cat and dog as mayor--very sensible, I thought

6. The people of Virginia would be better off having a cat in the Senate than

George "Macaca" Allen, who, 40 years ago, was spray painting the walls of our high school - I was a classmate - with racist graffiti. He was suspended for it. He was an asshole then. He's an asshole now.

Go Hank!
