MEET MAYOR STUBBS FROM ALASKA



Munz directed my attention to the revelation in HuffPo that Sarah Palin hates cats. I am now so goddamned sick of Perky Palin I might have stopped there, except the same story also introduced me to Mayor Stubbs of Talkeetna, Alaska, who happens to be a cat. (Above is a genuine picture of Stubbs on an antique Talkeetna snowmobile. )

“Palin may have a political reason for opposing cats. According to a letter sent to the Palm Beach Post, it seems that the residents of Talkeetna, Alaska - who the Wikipedia tells me is the inspiration for the fictional burg of Cicely, as depicted in the teevee show Northern Exposure - chose a cat named Stubbs as their official mayor. Stubbs has executive experience, hunts prey with his bare paws, and does not bilk the taxpayers of Alaska out of money for fake per diem expenses, like Palin does. Stubbs the cat hangs out at Nagley's General Store in Talkeetna, with a bunch of other cats, all of whom have been thoroughly vetted, by actual veterinarians.”

Stubbs for President?

The secret word is Purr

why do i get the feeling that if cats could vote they'd, like, totally refuse to?

Because you've presumably watched Red Dwarf & have a hard time thinking of cats doing human type actions without thinking of the character "Cat" from that series?

some girl,

Thinking about it - if my own cats are anything to go by - you've got a point.

I made a facebook fan page called "Stubbs for President." Anyone and everyone is encouraged to become a fan. Go Stubbs!
