Annandale civic association elects dog as president

For more than 20 years, candidates running for office in the Hillbrook-Tall Oaks Civic Association in Annandale have stood, waved and received polite applause at the annual meeting in June. Everyone votes, eats ice cream, chats with neighbors and goes home.

This past election, to make the meeting move faster, only the names and qualifications of the candidates were announced. Running for president, Ms. Beatha Lee was described as a relatively new resident, interested in neighborhood activities and the outdoors, and who had experience in Maine overseeing an estate of 26 acres.

Though unfamiliar with Lee's name, the crowd of about 50 raised their hands, assuming that the candidate was a civic-minded newcomer. These days, it's hard to get anyone to volunteer to devote the time needed to serve as an officer. The slate that Lee headed was unanimously elected. Everyone ate ice cream, watched a karate demonstration and went home.

Not the first time this has happened, last time was an election for POTUS aided by the lapdog media.

If a RAT can be elected, why not a dog?

Considerably better than what we’ve got in the White House now.

And better than a lot of senior Senators, too. Who would you rather have in the Senate, Barbara Boxer, or a pooch?

Well, if the pooch was a female, you could call her a bitch and get away with it.
