Is It Better to Adopt a Rubio Staffer, a Kitten, or a Water Buffalo?
New York Magazine ^ | September 29, 2015 | Ben Ellman

Posted on 09/30/2015 3:02:04 AM PDT by Slings and Arrows

Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio recently added “Adopt a Staffer for the Day” as an option in the campaign store. It costs you $250, and in return you'll be mentioned on Twitter and get an update from the impoverished Young Republican taker — who'd better be cute! (No, this is not welfare, since they have to work!)

How does it compare to other selfless adoptions you might try out?

-snip-

You can adopt a kitten from the ASPCA for about half the price of a Rubio staffer.

Apparently you can adopt an entire herd of manatees, Florida’s most famous aquatic residents, for the cost of a single Rubio staffer. Rubio staffers, however, are much less likely to be hit by a boat.

Water buffalo. I’ve heard of water buffalo but you can’t herd kittens.

That looks like one of the BJ Clinton staffers.

A kitten because...
everybody’s got a water buffalo.

Couldn’t I adopt a single Cruz staffer holding a kitten?,

Win win.

Would also make a great calendar for fundraising purposes. Sen Cruz uses kittehs from his Texas animal shelters and hopefully they get forever homes as well.

If he doesn’t have his first dog and cat, he can get them there as well.,

Yep, it takes a leftist to consider a human being as on the same level as dumb animals.

Rubio is smarter than any 10 given leftists who work for New York Magazine. Combined.

Our cat, Brutus, is going wild on us. She is a fanatic about
being outdoors - all day, all night. Even tries to reach up and turn the doorknobs. Can’t reach ‘em; but it’s pitiful. - She seems to love us; but just wants to be OUTSIDE all the time & catch bugs and lizards. Stuffy used to knock the lizard’s tails off and eat those; but Brutus, with no thought for “the future” just gobbles up the whole lizard! The lizards grow new tails to replace the ones the cats eat; but Brutus doesn’t bother with the future!

Personally, not really infatuated with Rubio, hate cats, so I’ll go with the water buffalo. At least I can use it as a tractor when the Economy goes belly up....
