AMERICANS won 140 medals at the Olympics. Of those, 60 percent were won by women. The girls did even better with gold. They won 26 of the 40 first places, 65 percent.
That old also-ran guy who dyes his hair the color of my fur doesn’t notice such a trend. He keeps insisting that America is going to hell, but women think differently. They win medals, become mayors of big cities (four of the nation’s six largest cities, mind you), run all the schools and hospitals, and when college students were awarded their diplomas this summer, sixty percent of them were women.
I’m a male cat. I have a problem.
When I began running for the White Mouse, my opponents were two old men. Easy peasy for a young guy like me. Now that’s different – Barbie and I are now competing against a woman, in the age of the woman, no less.
Putting out my nails. I’m going to paint them. My legs? Shave ’em. My meow, an octave higher. Pink bow in my tail.
VanderPuss for president.
Can we win? Yes we cat.
* VanderBus left home at the age of six weeks and went hunting for a city bus in Maine. He caught the bus. It cost him one eye, but he won a standing ovation from everyone who watched him do it. VanderBus, since then mayor of Bicker Hollow, is running for president of the United States.
