猫のモリスはメキシコのベラクルス州都ハラパ市の市長に立候補しており、そのマタタビ政策は民衆から支持を得ている。MSNが伝えるところによると、このニャンコ政治家は公約に「ネズミのいないハラパ」を掲げており、一日中ずっと寝転んで何もしないことを確約している。
まさに破滅的な政治要綱であるが、地元出身の候補者は「信念が欠如している」ためモリス候補の支持率が上昇しているとCNNのiReportは指摘している。モリス候補のフェイスブックのページではライバルの市長候補4人のうち3人より多くの「いいね」を獲得しており、その数は記事を書いている時点で50,907件に上っている（すでに日本語訳の時点で10万超えている）。
モリス候補は市長室をめちゃめちゃに散らかすと公言しているが、散らかしっぱなしにして他人に掃除させるのではなく、少なくとも隠して取り繕うと思われる。
モリス候補の選挙本部長はベラクルス州出身の若者2人が担当するとのことだ。

Boy Finds Lizard in Loaf of Bread(80 of104)
A HORRIFIED boy found a dead LIZARD in his Tesco toast as he munched his breakfast.\nWilliam Evans, 10, screamed in terror after making the gruesome find - bringing his dad Marcus running from upstairs.\nOutraged Mr Evans, of Hawkchurch, near Axminster, Devon, said: \"The poor little lad was absolutely traumatised by it.\n\"He went to take a slice off for some toast, turned the loaf over and found the lizard stuck on the bottom.\"\nHe added: \"It was one of Axminster Tesco\'s baked in-store, multi-grain brown loaves.\n\"The lizard had not been cooked so it must have got into the packaging and died there.\n\"You could see the impression of its body in the bread so it must have been warm when he got in.\"\nWilliam, a pupil at Hawkchurch Primary School, said: \"I was making some toast and cut off a slice when I saw something that looked like a leaf.\n\"So I took the wrapping off and found the lizard inside.\n\"It certainly put me off my toast!\n\"It was about two to three inches long.\"\nHis mum Clare said it would have been even worse if William had sliced through the end with the lizard on it - and eaten it.\n\"That would have been even more distressing,\" she said.\nMr Evans, a volunteer church worker, said they had alerted Tesco\'s customer service department.\nHe said they told him it was impossible for a lizard to get in one of their loaves because of their high level of hygiene\n\"I am surprised they didn\'t tell me \'every little helps\',\" said angry Marcus.\n\"They have asked me to take it into the manager but I am thinking of contacting environmental health officers.\n\"We are keeping the lizard and loaf in the fridge for evidence.\"\nA Tesco spokesman said: \"We have conducted a thorough inspection of the bakery area as well as the rest of the store.\n\"We are confident that our robust procedures mean that there was no food safety risk to the product whilst it was within the store.\n\"If the customer would like to return the product, packaging and proof of purchase to us, we will be able to investigate further.\" (credit:Archant Devon)

Scientist Swims With Whales(84 of104)
Natalia Avseenko swims with beluga whales in the White Sea off the coast of northern Russia.\n\nA skinny dipping Russian researcher took a ten meter sub-zero plunge in a bid to get up close and personal with two beautiful 15 foot long beluga whales. Scientists believe that the whales could be more friendly with humans if they swim naked - but as these pictures show the clever-looking marine mammals called Matrena and Nilma seem happy to swim with the same lady whether bears all or not. Champion free diver, Natalia Avseenko, 36, from Moscow gamely jumped into an ice hole in the White Sea off the coast of northern Russia. She was able to hold her breath and swim underwater for an incredible 11 minutes. The pictures show her swimming in the minus one degree Centigrade waters - cold enough to kill a normal person in 15 minutes. Beluga whales generally shy away from conventional scuba divers because they dislike the bubbles they produce. It is thought the synthetic materials used to make wet suits smell bad to them.\n (credit:Viktor Lyagushkin, Barcroft/Fame Pictures)

Kitler(95 of104)
Kitler, a kitten small enough to fit in a cup with a remarkable resemblance to Hitler is looking for a home after being found abandoned at the side of a busy road. An animal charity is struggling to find a loving home for an abandoned kitten - because it looks like HITLER. The six-week-old moggie was found abandoned on her own by the side of a busy main road by a member of the public. She was handed in to Wood Green animal shelter in Godmanchester, Cambs., where staff nicknamed her \'Kitler\' because of her distinctive black moustache. Nobody came forward to say they were Kitler\'s owner so the centre put her up for rehoming, but she is yet to find a loving family because of her unusual markings. (credit:Matthew Power, SWNS)
