The (untold) Truth About Cats and Pols
For your entertainment on this Primary Election Day:
This one goes into the "You think it can get bad in Philly?" file. It involves a young boy becoming involved in local politics to avenge the murder of his family cat - a murder that may have been for "political reasons." As if this feline post-birth abortion (still a hot button issue in Mount Gretna, PA) weren't enough, this young operative has now been subject to harassment by supporters of his candidate's opponent. You can read the rest. Please remember that this is a press release so, like a blog entry, the facts are rarely allowed to get in the way of a good story.
My good friend Mike suggested several possible headlines for this story, my favorite of which was "Un-claw-ful behavior." Can anyone top it?
UPDATE: I guess Brightbill paid the price for his supporter's anti-feline activities.
