Somewhere, That Dog Mr. Burns Hired To Be His Vice President Is Smiling

It seems as though the sleepy hamlet of Rabbit Hash, KY has a unique tradition of electing dogs to serves as it mayors.

The only candidate so far is a border collie named Lucy Lou.

The situation isn't unusual for the Boone County town. The former mayor was a black labrador retriever named Junior Cochran, who died May 17 after serving since 2004.

The Kentucky Enquirer reported on its Web site Thursday that the Rabbit Hash Historical Society has scheduled voting to begin Aug. 31 and end Nov. 4, with voters paying $1 per vote. Proceeds benefit the historical society.

According to the Web site www.rabbithash.com, candidates for the office may be humans or animals but not ducks or geese.

Actually, I don't see what's the big deal. Here in St. Louis, dogs and dead people vote all the time, so I guess letting them hold office is a logical conclusion.
