"Hercules Still Struggling To Complete 13th Labor" -- Getting elected to Greensboro City Council.
"The powerful demigod must attract the crucial Teachers Union vote before he may finally rest."
"'I remember well the election of 1988,' Hercules said. 'It was the closest one to date. But the night before the polls opened, my opponent disclosed that I had killed Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons, and I completely lost the middle-aged female vote. Alas, I am not cut out for politics. Why can I not just clean out the Augean stables again?'"

I absolutely LOVE this....I am laughing so hard, I actually had to stop typing.
I can't decide which I like best: the quote you put up, the picture of him lifting the podium, or the last line about sacking and looting nearby cities to make up the budget shortfall. Hilarious!
Thanks for a great post! Even Livvie said the article was silly.
Hugs,
Catherine
