Gratuitous political blogging: Heather for mayor edition
By Gina Spadafori

Yes, pretty lame, two photo posts in a day. I know Christie’s working on some thoughtful science-y thing for tomorrow, though, and it’s certain to have substance.
In the meantime …
Heather Fargo is mayor of Sacramento, running for re-election. You can well imagine why I had to get one of her lawn signs, even though I live just outside the city limits and can’t vote in the election. I finally got a sign today and tweaked it just a little with Photoshop, removing Ms. Fargo’s last name. I think the sign looks better now, don’t you?
My Heather says she would be a very good mayor, and she appreciates your moral support. She will be 12 years old just a few days after the election, but she hopes you won’t hold that against her, inasmuch as she intends to live forever.
I bet Heather would be a great mayor. Maybe I will start a run-in campaign for county sheriff with a platform promising to address the rabbit and squirrel population. How’s this for an ad: “Having problems with bunnies and squirrels eating your tomatoes? I will come chase them for you! Then I will eat your tomatoes.”

That’s a riot! Your Heather has MY vote!

Can she solve our economic crisis while chasing a tennis ball or will she need to suspend her campaign during Wimbledon?

Heather would answer, but in fact she has suspended her campaign for her morning nap.

I just want her to solve the economic crisis (after her nap, of course).
