Looking into Duke's cross-eyed expression, I question his mental ability to perform the job and wonder if a horrible mistake has just been made. He only won because he had the most money after selling the secret recipe for Bush's Baked Beans. Turns out, it's Duke sneezing on it.
Frankly, it is kind of sad it took a dog so long to become Mayor.
Stubbs the cat has been mayor of Talkeetna, Alaska since 1997. Then there's
