FAIR HAVEN, Vt. — The new honorary mayor of Fair Haven, Vermont — a 3-year-old goat named Lincoln — was officially sworn into office this week.

Lincoln was dressed in a sash reading "Mayor" for the Tuesday ceremony at the Fair Haven town offices. Town Clerk Suzanne Dechame and the select board were present to deliver the oath of office.

Must be nice to live in a town with no official business to conduct. And how can they, when the mayor is impersonating a registered voter, speaks only a foreign ‘dialect’ and has no stated policy other than making public deification legal?

We should send them some refugees to liven things up a bit. I hear goat is a favorite treat.
