Cat Rules Monopoly Town With an Iron Fist

Cat Rules Monopoly Town With an Iron Fist

Residents of Monopoly Town have had a rough go of things ever since electing Willy McKitty to be mayor.  Willy, the five year old heir to the McKitty scratching post fortune and local real estate investor, has governed the town with the calculated efficiency of a dedicated capitalist.  While his office claims that cuts to social programs and what his spokespeople deem “unfortunate sacrifices” are necessary, others aren’t so sure.

“After the massive round of layoffs at Water Works last year, he declared the Free Parking lottery off-limits to anyone who was delinquent on their mortgage,” complained concerned citizen Tiffany O’Malley.  "He even threw a bunch of people in jail in December for trying to pass Go early and he runs Marvin Gardens like a slum lord.  I say, down with Willy!“

Some citizens are trying to organize a recall election this November.  McKitty still has two years left on his term.

Dog Cannot Stop Reading New Design Book

According to reports, Peter the dog can’t put down the new book The Shape of Design by Frank Chimero.  The hundred-plus page meditation on design was funded last year on Kickstarter, and just began arriving in its printed form to backers this week.

“It came in the mail yesterday,” says Peter’s roommate Dan Meyer, “and he’s just been reading ever since.  I mean he reads kinda slow – he’s a dog.”

Bunny Treats Herself to Weekly Salon Visits

In these tough economic times many rabbits have been forced to cut non-necessities out of their budgets.  However, psychologists advice that it is important for bunnies to treat themselves to a luxury every now and then.  That’s why Sylvia, a rabbit from Oak Ridge, TN, visits the salon each week.

“Since being laid off from the laboratory last fall, Sylvia had been pretty depressed,” says friend Edith Weintraub.  "But when she started budgeting a little cash for weekly salon visits, her whole outlook brightened.  And girl, she works that ears back look!“

Dog Makes $150 Performing on Street Corner

Clyde, a dog and street performer in Austin, TX, reportedly pulled in $150 in a single Saturday afternoon with his unique brand of freestyle hip hop that many are calling “beatbarking.”

“It was awesome,” said one onlooker at a recent performance.  "He’s able to harmonize his barks and growls and yips to create some real depth of sound.  I’ve never really heard anything like it.“

Clyde’s manager, Steve Counsel, says much of the dog’s success can also be attributed to his sense of style. "He’s a true showman,” said Steve.  "The whole package.“

Clyde can generally be seen Saturday afternoons at the corner of South Congress and Monroe Street.
