Wasn't there some dictator or something somewhere at some time that actually DID want to put his dog in charge when he died? His advisers told him yes on his deathbed, but then put someone else in charge after he died.
I might be messing up the details, but I thought I heard that somewhere. (Or did I just make that up?)
It was the ancient Roman emperor Caligula that wanted to put a HORSE in charge after he died. Close I suppose :) Horses still want love too... and food. Who doesn't want food? :D
My American bulldog endorses this new form of government, dog-ocracy. He believes a platform of more breakfast and dinner times through out the day and a robust schedule of walking where people pet you and give you treats, interspersed with frequent napisodes would be a winning platform. Vote for Buster!
Actually, Caligula made his horse, Incitatus, a Senator - and would have made him a Consul; but he was dissuaded by the rest of the Senate, who pointed out that the horse didn't have the proper financial qualifications for the office....
As for dogs not starting wars: well, they've never had a chance to. Who knows? We might find ourselves blundering into the Hundred Years' War against the Squirrels....... 7@=Q
love the giggling yeah...too funny

Unfortunately I think alot of countries DO have dogs in charge.... politicians who manage to get laid but don't do anything constructive
ReplyDeleteI vote Molly for President of the US and Prime Minister of the UK. Everyone has to do a daily bum sniff to be part of Congress or Parliament.
ReplyDeleteExcept, of course, for us vegetarians and lentil-lovers!
