POLITICALLY SPEAKING

The other 'hot button' issue around Brooklyn is the election. Everyone's still talking and reading up on it and I'm no different. I came across an article in the Huffington Post that proves to me politics had definitely gone to the dogs or in this case the cats.

Hank the Cat, a Maine Coon shelter rescue, ran and placed third in his bid for the state of Virginia's senate seat recently vacated by Jim Webb. Hank ran on the platform "It's OK to vote the humans out" coming in third as a write-in and raising about $60,000 for animal rescue organizations in the process. Truly an impressive campaign.

Word is, Hank is considering a 2016 run. We will have to wait and see. In the meantime, if you want to read about Hank and his campaign experiences, read the following Huffington Post article:
