Puppy Worried Over Debt Crisis and Partisan Gridlock

A puppy named Chalupa Batman expressed his concern about the economic impasse in Washington, D.C. on MSNBC’s Morning Joe on Monday.

“Mr. Batman has many friends with government jobs who haven’t been to work in a week,” said Jeremy Tillman, the show’s senior producer. “He’s also very concerned about the U.S.’s credit rating. If Congress doesn’t raise the Debt Ceiling and we default on our loans, what then?”

But there may even be larger issues at play here.

“Will Democrats and Replubicans ever be productive in government with such partisan gridlock?” Tillman posed. “Mr. Batman is not too optimistic about the future of public policy.”

Puppy Promoted Following Mail Sorting Triumph

Jonas the puppy was on the receiving end of a promotion at his place of work after a particularly impressive displace of sorting prowess last week. 

“We’d never seen anything like it,” said Anne Jackson, Chief Operations Officer. “Most days we get 30, maybe 40 pieces of mail, but on Wednesday we got 400.”

Jonas reportedly handled the 10x increase like a champ. 

“Most dogs we’ve had in the mail room end up chewing more mail than they deliver, and we have to let them go. But I’m glad I didn’t let that dissuade me from hiring Jonas,” explained Jackson. Rather than chew any of the mail, Jonas got all 400 items sorted and delivered to the companies 24 employees by the end of the day.

So impressed was Jackson by the display that she promoted the pup to associate office manager.
