Cat Busted With 12,000 Fake Prada Bags
Cat Busted With 12,000 Fake Prada Bags
The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Commerce announced the arrest this morning of Mitzy, a cat living in Philadelphia, PA who was allegedly sitting on the top of a multi-state, billion dollar counterfeiting operation. The cat was arrested with over 12,000 fake Prada bags in her possession. The bags have a street value of over $3.5 million.
“Once we got Sammy the Salamander – a street hustler we picked up in Queens, NY last year – to flip on Mitzy, it was just a matter of putting together the resources for a sting,” said FBI spokesperson Wil Quantos.
If convicted, Mitzy faces up to 20 years in prison.

Dog Candidate Makes Last-Minute Campaign Push
Dog Candidate Makes Last-Minute Campaign Push
By Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent
With the November elections just a few days away, Samson has been working overtime to ensure victory. The congressional candidate and dog has been campaigning feverishly in the past week, holding rallies, town hall meetings and other get-out-the-vote events. The dog even managed to squeeze in a visit to a local park yesterday to meet with constituents.
“He really understands the issues,” says area resident Martha Rowe. “He’s also the only candidate I know of who’s willing to stand up to vacuum cleaners. That speaks volumes.”
Samson’s campaign manager tells The Fluffington Post that the next few days will be crucial.
“We’re confident but not complacent,” says Gene Woodman. “The other candidates are doing all they can to detract from Samson’s record. It’s going to be a hard fight, but Samson is in it to win it. He’s also in it for the chauffeured limousine, but that will come later.”

CNN Unveils All-Kitten Election Night Team
CNN Unveils All-Kitten Election Night Team
For the past few presidential elections, 24-hour news network CNN has been known for its Election Night technology. In 2008 the network debuted a studio filled with giant touch screens and contributors beamed in via hologram.
For 2012, CNN is pulling out all the stops. At a press event this morning in the company’s headquarters Atlanta, GA, the network unveiled its Election Night news team.
Gone are mainstays Wolf Blitzer, John King, Candy Crowley and Anderson Cooper – instead, CNN’s 18-straight hours of November 6 news coverage will be anchored by a team of kittens.
“Some might think it an extremely risky move to rely on a group of rookies for such a huge live news event,” said media gazer Ron Calumet, “but I think this is smart for CNN. They need something to energize ratings and kittens are really, really popular.”
