At 7, Duke is far from the youngest recent mayor in Minnesota. Bobby Tufts won the post when he was just 3 years old. He was recently unseated by Eric Mueller, who is a well-seasoned 16 years old.
He'll probably do a great job. But what I wonder is does he poop on the north /south axis as discussed previously on this blog.
ReplyDeleteI have observed that Cats tend to be Republicans as they always resist change. Move a piece of furniture and your cat will spend hours fretting over it. Try and change their food and they look at you as if you've lost your mind, however dogs tend to be Democrats, whatever you do is OK by them, roll with the flow baby. Change their food and they don't even notice.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with the dog-democrat correlation. A good chnce we end up with a real dog in 2016.
DeleteI bet Duke passes more legislation than our current congress ...
ReplyDeleteFirst rule of government, do no harm.
DeleteDuke is a shoe in for re-elecion unless a prettier dog comes along.
