 New Mayor I Will Never Lie to You . There is an old saying in Washington, D.C., "If you want a friend, get a dog."  A small town in Kentucky has taken that one further, electing dogs to their titular mayorality (see link above).  Certainly honest, it would be fun to see a lobbyist trying to bribe this political animal.  Hopefully, the mayor will not get caught humping a lobbyist's leg, a kennel-able offense.   Long ago, humans once worshiped animals.  Perhaps, we are on our way back.  The article did not mention the mayor's salary, but given the name of the town, Chicken Hash, table scraps may be enough. #electionentertainment

Part II the Recounts This election may hold the record for the number of lawyers hired to step-in and contest the results.  While many of these races are beyond the narrow margins for recount, expect the Republicans to sue anyway, based upon the way mail-in voting was handled.  Frankly, this will be boring at the state level but could be high drama if a successful appeal is made to the Supreme Court, which decided the 2000 election by stopping the recount in Florida.  If the Supreme Court decides this election, there could be fireworks and/or firebombings!  Both are...
