Warning: don’t feed the politicians
Cats: politics, slack woman|You’ve heard about the by-law that says don’t feed the ducks.
Well, I think there should be a similiar by-law that says don’t feed the politicians.
Feeding the ducks just encourages them. Ditto politicians.
Feeding the ducks makes them dependent on you. Ditto the politicians.
Feeding the ducks puts the ducks at increased risk of malnutrition, choking and disease. Ditto the politicians.
So the next time your in a water park or on the street, don’t feed the politicians, or the ducks.
They may not like it, but they will thank you someday.

Don’t feed the ducks?! Since when?
I’ve never fed a politician before. If I did, it would be something bad, like a twinkie.

Nay, I say to you, feed the politicians stale bread crumbs.

Of course you realize, if we don’t feed politicians, they will go cannibal and they won’t be kissing babies anymore, but dousing them with hot sauce.

Next time I see a politician waddling around and being all cute, I shall leave the loaf of bread in my purse.

I just want to let you know that I wait for your column all week. It is my favorite column in the Chronicle Herald. I only wish it was in every day.

Ambera, but it would be an artistically pleasing twinkie
Cormac, stale bread crumbs, too good for our politicians. Moldy bread crumbs, maybe
Cormac, or perhaps they will douse and eat their own
Barbara, and think of me.
Rebecca, that is lovely of you to say. Thank you. ( I love you. I love you. I love you!!!)

Not to mention the risk of contracting politician influenza.

Here is something more about how one shouldn’t feed politicians. The mess that is Federal Gypsum in Point Tupper and how the employees are not getting their back wages.
