Penguin Candidate Clings to Flightless Presidential Campaign

Hugh Wilmore, life-long penguin and presidential candidate for the Avian Americans Party, is pressing forward in his bid for the White House, despite the resignation of three top advisers who insist he stands no chance in November.

“He’s a third-party candidate who flipper-flopped – if you will – on too many important issues,” says Ted Cortese, political analyst for antarctico.com. “Iceberg mining will create jobs? What is that?”

“He’s out there again today, waving to crowds and pecking babies,” a Wilmore campaign official tells The Fluffington Post under condition of anonymity. “It’s just embarrassing at this point. He wasn’t even invited to the debates.”

Dog Finally Called for Penalty

Soccer fans love the way Wally the puppy plays the game, and coaches can’t get enough of his positive attitude and team leadership.  But opposing players have long complained that he often gets away with carrying the ball when the refs aren’t looking.

“It’s not fair, you know?” said Tennessee Horned Toads fullback Seamus O’Rourke. “Wally’s a great player, but he never gets whistled.”

Until now, that is.  Wally was called for a penalty during a game yesterday afternoon, drawing his first whistle for the surreptitious ball carrying all seasons.  The opposing team was awarded a free kick.

Horse: This Is Straw

By Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent

According to reports, a local horse is not all pleased that he was just given straw, as opposed to his normal meal of hay. As his spokesperson tells The Fluffington Post, Harvey can definitely tell the difference and does not appreciate you insulting his intelligence.

“Harvey has a very well-developed palate,” says Clint Hansbrough. “He also has an acute horse sense. If you feed him the wrong thing, he’s going to call you out on it – it’s that simple. Besides, everyone knows that hay is part of a healthy horse diet, while straw is normally used for bedding. I mean, really. This stuff isn’t rocket science.”
