"Mayor Stubbs has been at the helm of the small town of Talkeetna, Alaska for 15 years - an impressive feat for any elected official, but even more so considering Stubbs is a cat."- nydailynews.com

LOL! A much better choice as mayor than Sarah Palin ever was! I'm assuming the cat got rid of the vermin that inhabit most government offices..;)

Frank - may blessings rain down upon you for starting my day off with this wonderful story! Thank you so much!

Hmmmm....I don't think Mayor Stubbs is a DemoCat, since he's exibiting diva behaviour and is only a figurehead (letting others do his work and fund his catnip and treats!); he sounds more like a RepugCat. :)
