Goat elected as honorary mayor

FAIR HAVEN, Vt. (AP) — The new honorary mayor of Fair Haven, Vermont — a 3-year-old goat named Lincoln — was officially sworn into office this week.

Lincoln was dressed in a sash reading “Mayor” for the Tuesday ceremony at the Fair Haven town offices. Town Clerk Suzanne Dechame and the select board were present to deliver the oath of office.

As I said in the other thread about this newly elected goat...

Let's just hope this particular goat does a lot better at helping people and is more charitable in giving to others than the goats were in Jesus' Parable of the Sheep and Goats. Remember what happened to those goats. So, my friendly word of advice to everyone reading this, be a sheep and not a goat.

I can only assume that there is nothing in the American or Vermont Constitution that prohibits "goats" from holding public office, but based on George Orwell's "Animal Farm," we should draw the line when it comes to "pigs!"

Did he get impeached for being a baaaad mayor?
