He passed away this week. Poor kitty. One wonders who will fill the vacancy?

@Teeka No one yet, apparently!

I vote a moose.

[Stubbs's position is honorary, as the town is only a "historical district".]

So depends how you look at it. He is the "mayor" of Talkeetna, but Talkeetna isn't really an actual town that has a mayor.

I believe it, them Alaskans are crazy mofos. They're the closest thing the US has to Iceland. Iceland is still better I'm guessing

"BARSIK" Russia’s most famous cat politician has announced his bid to become the nation’s next president in 2018. But putin won.. poor barsik

Hän must be doing good job.

Possibly not true... but widely accepted:

@Karen both true and false. They don't have a real mayor so there was no election. But Stubbs got the honorary title instead
