Dog elected mayor of Minnesota town

[Baitball Blogger]

The votes are in, and residents of Cormorant, Minn., have elected their new mayor -- a 7-year-old dog named Duke.

The Great Pyrenees, who defeated human opponent Richard Sherbrook for the ceremonial position last weekend, will be sworn in at the town fair Saturday, according to ABC News.

“I’m going to back the dog 100 percent,” said Sherbrook, who voted for the dog. “He’s a sportsman and he likes to hunt. He’ll really protect the town.”

Each of the 12 voters in the small town paid $1 to cast their ballots, with the overwhelming majority going to the former farm dog.

2. The ultimate anti-government statement, and a poll tax too.

By any chance, did the Minnesota Freemen endorse the dog?

Okay, I admit it. It's funny.
