    The cat has done more for the Alaskan town than a human would do.

    US TYRANNICAL COPYRIGHT LAW PERMITS EXCERPTS WHEN DISCUSSING A COPYWRITTEN ARTICLE.

    KTUU-TV reported Friday that residents didn't like the mayoral candidates years ago, so they encouraged enough people to elect Stubbs as a write-in candidate. The town has nearly 900 residents.

    His election earned him enough press to catapult the town at the base of Mount McKinley into a tourist destination.

    The general store where Stubbs hangs out says it gets dozens of tourists a day asking for him.

    This society needs fewer Republicans in office and more cats to take their place.

    I'm trying my hardest to find a equivalent replacement for liberals, and all I can come up with is the Tapeworm.

    The best people I have ever known were cats.

    20 years is amazingly long for a cat.
    RIP Stubbs. You left your mark on people.

    The ancient Egyptians worshiped cats as gods.

    Five thousand years later, they still haven't forgotten it.

    I have a half a dozen female barn cats. They're pretty outlaw, but they keep the mice out, so they're more useful than 99% of congress.

    Possibly but the left isn't helping it cause lately. After Obama the only place one can view a democrat politician around here is in a museum.

    replace right wingers instead - that's what we need

    I'm sure there are plenty of cats around for that purpose. ;)
