CPR 4-29-2012 VOTING CONTINUES EVEN AS EMPRESS ELECTION NEARS END
More votes were received over the weekend and the latest results show the Blue Bow Tied Bunny in the lead for Empress, having 2 votes. Other candidates receiving votes were Libby, and Carly and Sylvette, the Munchkins. These results have angered some of the candidates. In particular, Gracie vociferously denounced the voters, decrying the bias against beauty that seems to be manifest in the early voting. (Photos 1 and 2) "Oh why must I be punished for being beautiful" Gracie bellowed. " Personality is so overrated!" Lady Emma, for her part, decided to mock the whole electoral process and the whole need for Catsby to have an Empress. "Look at me, look at me" chanted Lady in sing song mockery "I have a tiara made out of lilacs. Maybe I should be your Empress, Catsby!" (Photo 3).
Notwithstanding this mockery, readers are reminded that Lady Emma is not a candidate for Empress, however good she looks in lilac. Readers are also reminded that someday the voting will actually end, so if you haven't already voted, vote now, and if you have already voted, vote again. Just as there is no such thing as a conflict of interest in the Pet World, so is there no such thing as "one pet, one vote". For that matter, according to Jay Catsby, deceased and disappeared pets are also eligible to vote, and he, Jay Catsby, holds their proxy in his power mad paws, so he may have the final say over who wins the election. Of course, there is no true finality to any Pet election result, as there is always the threat of litigation, and the likelihood of a recount, and the appointment of a commission to investigate irregularities.
And as always, the CPR will be there to bring you all the bitterness, the sour grapes, and false accusations, because frankly, that's what sells newspapers. That and sex. And lilacs.
