And so it ends

Bribe him with tuna and catnip, if you want zoning changed.:)

But yeah, he's an improvement over human politicians.

I'd bet ol Stubbs has a stash of Matanuska Thunderfuck.

Came home years ago to a roommate thinking I had Matsu Thunderfuck when really it was a stash of catnip I'd grown. Coughing up like it was Mexican as I just giggled.
 
Birds endorsing cats. True Bi-Partisanship in action folks. Renews my faith in the animal kingdom. :cool:

Hartlepool elected a Monkey Football Mascot as Mayor

H'Angus the Monkey is the official mascot of Hartlepool United F.C.. The name "H'Angus" is a pun of the word hang and the name Angus, and is derived from the monkey hanger legend of Hartlepool.
...

Stuart Drummond was the second person to play him. Drummond became the most popular version of H'Angus with his outrageous antics. During an away against Scunthorpe on 4 November 2001, H'Angus was famously thrown out for the first time in his career. A steward took offence at H'Angus standing up and leading the Hartlepool fans in song. H'Angus once again angered the stewards when he simulated sex on a female steward and he was promptly escorted away in front of a bemused set of away supporters.

Drummond caused even more controversy during the first leg of Hartlepool's play-off match away to Blackpool on 13 May 2001, after he played with an inflated doll. H'Angus was once again escorted off by police but was released without charge. A police spokesman later claimed that H'Angus had been "drunk".
...

Election For Mayor

Drummond approached Hartlepool chairman Ken Hodcroft with an idea for some publicity and asked him to fund the £500 deposit that would allow him to stand for election. Hodcroft accepted the proposal but wanted the club to stay out of politics so forced Drummond to make the agenda his own and separate from the club. Drummond ran for mayor under his own name, campaigning for "free bananas" for all schoolchildren. He campaigned both at matches, much to the bemusement of opposition fans, and also locally and away from the football pitch. On 2 May 2002, Drummond was elected the first directly elected mayor of Hartlepool. Drummond immediately decided to concentrate on politics and ceased being H'Angus; he was quoted as saying, "I am Stuart Drummond, I am the Mayor of Hartlepool, not the monkey." Drummond was re-elected in 2005, more than doubling his vote (up to over 16,000) and increasing his majority to over 10,000. At the same time, turnout increased from 30% to 51%. On the night of the election count, he proposed to his girlfriend, Beccy Buttery, who accepted. In 2009, Drummond was re-elected for a third term.

Stuart Drummond was the ONLY executive Mayor of Hartlepool. The post was abolished and Hartlepool now has a ceremonial Mayor.

Hartlepool hung a monkey for being a French Spy?
