Pawsitive thinking

I know we should be writing about our political preferences this close to the election, but jeez oh jeez. The thought of someone who is about to vote for the likes of Lauren Boebert over an actual sane human being like Adam Frisch – or someone who is about to vote for the hubris of newcomer Shelli Shaw over the hardest-working representative Barbara McLachlan – and actually read anything I would say and change their mind is... well, about as likely as me transforming into a cat.

Not that I wouldn’t entertain the idea. Especially after reading the Oct. 13 letter-to-the-editor “Boebert’s Cat-Astrophe” by Addyson Santese. Who is this woman, and has the Telegraph tried to hire her on as part of your star-studded cast? Her letter was about the best thing I have read in a long time. OK, so maybe I take that last line back, because I don’t want to come across as someone who doesn’t truly appreciate the wordsmithing prowess of the likes of your staff. But seriously, Addyson should be approached to try her hand at some regular editorial stuff for the Telegraph, because her letter was brilliant, and I, for one, would like to hear more of what she has to say, not just about cats and cat politics, but birds and bird religion, dogs and the dog days of climate change, and anything else she may feel inspired to write about.
