Aside from taking time for a quick photo op, Miranda eschews the campaign trail today, opting instead for a quiet day of thanks with her family. She wants all of her white sheppie friends to know that she is grateful to be part of their community and she hopes they all get lovely feasts.

"Bring on the turkey," says herself. "Tomorrow is the future."

One of the very deep thinking Szymeczek sisters (I think it was annabelle) recently asked Miranda Wagura what she thinks about the chicken in a pot concept. She and her advisers kicked this around over some pommes frites, and have decided that 'un poulet dans chaque pot' is a simply grand idea, and that they are quite hungry for some poulet even as we speak.

"Chicken and pot for everyone," says she. You can see that she is still standing in solidarity with the french, even tho their language is not her first, nor even her second or third tongue.

On to making sure that terriers are contained.

Vote Miranda. Tomorrow is the future.

The face of a dog who has just been told that she needs to have her teeth cleaned and that one toofie may have to be removed. All campaign events have been cancelled for today while she reels from this devastating news.

But still, vote miranda. Tomorrow is the future.

"have courage. Be kind." more than ever, we need Miranda's leadership. And yes, she has seen Cinderella 4 times. Vote Miranda. Tomorrow is the future.

Dateline: Campaign, day 5

Miranda Wagura stays cool under the bright lights as she barks a tough question of the POTUS:

"What exactly are you going to do about those red cups? Why is it that the people most worried about polluting the environment are the ones hanging out at buckbucks and creating all that waste? And for second rate coffee!"

I personally would have asked about syria, but I'm probably not in touch with what really matters to the average joe. Vote Miranda. "Tomorrow is the future."

dateline campaign: day 3

Shelby Szymeczek asked Miranda Wagura about the canine immigration issue yesterday, and Miranda replied to cheering crowds.

"French poodles, Belgian Malinois, Mexican Chihuahuas, Italian greyhounds, Bernese mountain climbing dogs and English sheepdogs (old and young) come to this country in search of better lives for their families, bringing with them their highly honed skills. These noble beasts can contribute much to our labor force and culture if ...we just give them green cars! Green cars will allow them to get to their jobs and become truly american. Green cars for everyone! No dog left behind!"

Miss M is thinking she can join forces with VW and cut a great deal on entry level porsches, since that venerable company is having a bit of trouble moving their vehicles at the moment.

dateline campaign, day two.

Miranda Wagura was all set to issue a paper on climax change, but found that someone (see shamefaced dog in pic) had peed on it.

But undaunted, she moves right on to the the timely and all-important issue of the alaskan pupline "That pupline has to go in right now, yesterday, tomorrow, whenever! Kimmee, our big hearted neighbor to the north, cannot possibly care for all those alaskan refugee little dogs. They should be able to hop on that zipline pupline and be able to romp and gambol freely in the gulf of mexico."

And there you have it. I believe she is modeling her campaign on that of the late great Pat Paulsen's. As i said elsewhere, welcome to the monkey house.

she's been thinking about this for months. "Shall i, shan't i? Will i, won't i?" She says she won't take on any projects to which she can't give all her heart and energy, and watching all the other jokesters go by and implode gave her the momentum to toss her collar into the political ring.

she'll promise all sorts of things no doubt, but for a start, she says she wouldn't be caught dead with an pale orange combover, she absolutely, positively won't do a bogus southern accent, wear a jewel toned pantsuit, or install a secret server, she's got nothing to do with social democracy (or even democratic socialism) and she's never even thought about applying to west point ("a uniform? and cover this beautiful fur? I think not!").

so support Miranda. The future is yet to come.
