Tiny dog saves. . .

“That? Oh, it’s free.”

if dogs could vote……

I love this woman!! In an attempt to illustrate the ease with which you may register to vote and the likelihood of voter fraud, she registered her dog, Duncan, in King County, WA. Duncan had trouble with holding the pen to vote so he never actually voted, but his mistress is now getting [...]
