“I am not pumping for my cats to be able to vote for McCain or Obama. I’m not saying they could visit me at the hospital, though that’s probably a pretty good idea. The right category for pets is closer to children, who can’t vote, and can’t own property, but you can’t inflict pain on them, either. The law is catching up with societal beliefs.“

Fine, but how much cooler would the debates be if the candidates had to pander to dogs and cats? Imagine McCain saying, “Barack voted 34 times to restrict access to the dinner table to dogs under 15 lbs.” and Obama’s response: “When I’m in charge, I’ll create a tax credit for things that squeak when you squeeze them.”
