| Moogie Basil Ticket |
The last election we witnessed the best and worst of our great democracy.
For many of us, listening to the presidential candidates and their respective
campaigns was only slightly more pleasant than falling face first into a nest
of fire ants. But the foundation of our government, the electoral process itself,
provides the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel.
According to the Committee for the Study of the American Electorate, in each
election since 1968 barely half of all eligible voters have exercised the right to
vote for the president. Apathy? That's undoubtedly a factor. But for myself and
many others, it's the lack of a truly desirable candidate that causes
disillusionment and ultimately creates a lack of participation. Why should I
vote for a candidate because he is less crappy than the other? Is it too much
to ask for a candidate that I can truly support rather than simply vote for the
lesser of two evils, election after election? I don't think so.
I have a proposal for all eligible voters. Those who truly like what they hear
from one of the mainstream candidates should vote for that candidate.
Those who cannot bring themselves to support one of the mainstream
candidates should vote for someone else. Until there is a demand for an
alternative to the offerings of the two major parties, there will be no supply.
Although there was a fairly prominent third candidate this last election, he
was not truly appealing enough to be more than a minor nuisance to the
other two.
If you consider yourself an active participant in our great democracy,
educated on the issues, and fully willing to vote for a worthy candidate but
can't bring yourself to accept the choices currently available, then this
announcement is for you. In 2008 there well be a brand new option. His
name is Moo Goo the Magnificent. He's a Pug. He's my dog, although I
consider us to be more like partners than owner/pet. Allow me to list just a
few reasons I consider him to be a better choice than either one of the two
guys that will inevitably win the next election.
That little episode with Fiona, the scandalous Church Street Westie, was
completely overblown. Moogoo is neutered, for goodness sake. No siree,
don't you worry about his Focus!
Need more? I didn't think so. Let's Bark the Vote. Rest assured, Moogie and
Basil will not bite the hands that vote for them. Help us to send a message.
Vote Moo Goo/Basil!

- Moogie has a five year tour of West Norton under his collar, and you
won't find anyone who will dispute or condemn his actions there.
Admittedly, West Norton is no combat zone, but it's not Malibu either!
- Moogie's choice for VP is Basil Basset. As you might have guessed,
Basil is a Basset Hound--a FEMALE Basset Hound. That's a heapin'
helpin' of Diversity with a generous side of Progress. Enjoy!
- Moogie and Basil will reach out to the feline community. You should
see their eagerness to connect with cats as we walk in the park.
That's Inclusion, my friends.
- The only war Moogie will wage will be on fleas. And only against the
aggressive ones, not the entire flea community. Can't we all get
behind that?
- Moogie will not take his eye off the ball. In fact, not only will he not take
his off of it, he will pursue it no matter where it may roll, retrieve it, and
bring it back. Every time. Can you say Persistence?
- Moogie once confronted a skunk (in self-defense.) He doesn't do that
anymore. Willingness to adapt and change and learn from mistakes
doesn't grow on trees. (But if it did, Moogie would be sure to "water"
that tree to insure strong growth.)
That little episode with Fiona, the scandalous Church Street Westie, was
completely overblown. Moogoo is neutered, for goodness sake. No siree,
don't you worry about his Focus!
