Lina's 'Bark'

I sat amused this morning as I looked over the cover of the morning BILD newspaper here in Wiesbaden.

The basic story?

Well....yesterday, the mail-votes went out for the SPD members to vote on the coalition deal with Merkel's CDU Party.  460,000 people will get their 'vote' and decide yes or no.

Well....459,999 people will get it.  Plus one dog....Lina, age 3, a beagle.....will also get an application.  You see....months ago, the owner of Lina registered her with the party.

So the question will come....how many other dogs are registered, and is this some type of fraud? 

Are dogs are likely to vote for the coalition or against the coalition?

I'm guessing the leadership of the SPD are fuming a bit and want a full accounting of who allowed the dog into the party.

For those non-SPD folks.....it's a good laugh, and simply says a bit about how bad the political game has become in Germany.
