c you in 2012!!!
The title of this post is from an e-mail message sent by Mike, Molly’s human companion. Starting on Friday, 5 Nov., a group of us pondered the role this little lady had to play in national politics.
Me: Dogs can’t vote either. Sorry, Mike, Maryland’s elections office had to discard Molly’s ballot. They asked me to break the news to you.
Mike: Well, that’s downright diabolical, cuz I was told she was eligible. I guess not, huh? Oh well, I hung up posters all over town for Mollyo, and she didn’t get one single vote! It hasn’t affected her, though, she still puts her stockings on one leg at a time.
Gary: Oh yeah, well that’s not what I heard. I heard on Fox & Fiends that Molly went on a crazed spending spree in Nieman and Saks and also at La Pooche Coutierier and ran up bills totalling about half a million bucks, including a diamond-studded collar and leash and a free outfit for all her friends, and that half the stuff is missing, and that she answered the door to her staff members wearing nothing but some strategically placed fur.
Mike: oh…you got that, huh?
well, we gotta get back to our mooser an hockey luvvin con stitch warrants, course, there’s the idittorod coming soon, we always run in that…
c you in 2012!!!
Me: As Molly knows, a well-dressed, well-accessorized dog is worth a dozen Sarah Palins.
Anybody read “A Political Manners Manual” at the NYT site? It includes these good paragraphs:
The Republicans are being way more nasty to Sarah Palin than the Democrats are to Lieberman. They’ve been portraying her as both a shopaholic and a woman who walks around in nothing but a bath towel, a hillbilly who’s also a prima donna. The leakathon climaxed this week when Fox News’s Carl Cameron announced that Palin did not know that Africa was a continent.
Palin says this is untrue. But the worst part is that if these people get any meaner, we’re going to wind up feeling sorry for her. This is not something we are looking forward to, Republicans, and we will resent you for it.
Alan: I’ve been told I got one write-in vote but I don’t believe it. Don’t tell Molly.
