I hope he runs for higher office.

I hope he runs for higher office.

Well, he's old enough in cat years, and born in the U.S., but if he picks Palin as his running mate, they lose Alaska's electoral votes. I suspect Palin's a dog person anyway.

[Squawk 8888]

If he were mayor of Toronto there would be a catnip scandal.

[Gefn]

if Sarah Palin decides to run in 16, he could be her running mate! :)

Campaign motto: get the rats out of Washington!

Don’t forget Hank the cat who ran for VA Senate in 12

Stubbs shows more leadership than the present occupant of the White House.

"I hope he runs for higher office."

Stubbs has that no-nonsense, don't give me any crap look....sort of like Reagan or Allen West.

He'd be a big improvement on the current bat-eared ballerina.

[Hot Tabasco]

Mr. Stubbs is in his twilight years, I hope that when he passes the gate, he does so peacefully and painlessly....as I wish for everyone’s beloved pet.

[CatherineofAragon]

I’ll 2nd that.

[Slings and Arrows]

Hank did better than Eric Cantor.

[Slings and Arrows]

True, though that may be damning with faint praise.

[Gefn]

And he was so adorable in his little tie too. Hank, that is. Not Mr. Cantor.

Had the great privilege of having a word and a few minutes with Mayor Stubbs in Talkeetna Alaska. I found him to be a great leader and listener. And he was right that the cafe had great coffee and wonderful sweet rolls.

[CatherineofAragon]

LOL, that must have been a great experience. I’d love to meet Stubbs.

[Gefn]

I’ve never been jealous of a FReeper before, but I do admit being a bit jealous that you met Mayor Stubbs.

But I’m glad you did. I hope you gave him a scritch behind the ears too.

[Slings and Arrows]

Cantor has been called many things, but “adorable” is not one of them.

[Slings and Arrows]

I thought the ballerina was mayor of Chicago.

[Gefn]

I didn’t say Cantor was adorable. I said Hank the cat is.
Sorry for any confusion.

[Slings and Arrows]

Understood - I was agreeing with you.

In my years of being a general contractor I have meet a number of counter cats and shop cats. Some in plumbing supply others in lumber yard offices. I always stop and have a few words with them as they know what is really going on. A scratch and pat, a little egg from my breakfast and I add another good friend.
