Quite a remarkable tail.
My absolute favorite composer. Thank you.
After a hard-fought campaign, Austin neighborhood elects a canine mayor
The winner, Mo Bamba, ran on a campaign of installing fire hydrants at every house and giving government contracts to anyone who would play fetch with him.
On a January night on Austin’s 37th Street, neighbors gathered to count the final ballots and swear in a new mayor. The mayor-elect didn’t give an acceptance speech — instead, he barked.
Mo Bamba — a 25-pound pug-chihuahua mix with a prominent underbite — was sworn in as the new mayor of 37th Street, following the neighborhood’s fourth annual pet election that drew more than 12,000 votes. This year’s three-week campaign period was grueling, and Mo won by 130 votes, becoming the first dog elected mayor of the street.
His campaign slogan: “He won’t just fight for you, he will bark at you.”
…
This year, there were six contenders in the pet election: Mo Bamba, Zapp (incumbent, a cat), Biscuit (a cat), Olive and Willie (a cat duo), Junior (a stuffed animal) and Benji (a cat).
“This was the first year that a dog ran, so it was a pretty big deal,” said Braat, adding that her own cat, Zapp — a self-described “pawgressive” — won the previous two elections.
…
I hope Mo goes all the way to the White (Dog) House! You can be sure he will rip up that concrete Rose Garden and install real grass.
Although, I suspect Junior (the stuffed animal) would probably have a better chance of rising being carried to the Presidency.
I love his description of how long it takes to do his (usual) hair.
Oh no! Bring back the spikes!
Yikes! That’s worse than when Kenny Rogers shaved his beard!
That brown hair looks like a bad rug.
I’m convinced it is. He’d never wear that outfit, either.
Did he join a cult or something?
FYI, Guy Fieri’s new look is for a Super Bowl commercial.
WHEW! Thank goodness.
He certainly has come a long way…Super Bowl commercial… gee-willikins…

Definitely a feel good story. Thanks, @Elendil_s_Heir!
… like he’s going to ask me to send a $50 prayer offering.
Have y’all ever heard of Bardcore? This one moved me.
