Cle Elum's City Council took a few minutes for monkey business.

Or, more accurately, chimp business.

Tuesday night, the council voted to designate seven chimpanzees at a Cle Elum-area sanctuary as honorary citizens of the central Washington town

I don't know if Cle Elum is big enough to have mass transit, but if it does...

[rahbert]

Its really small. I think it has a bar, an RV park, some lakes and a general store. Cle Elum, Easton, and Hyak get incredible snow in winter.

I’d live there if I could telecommute.

Bet they vote Democratic too....

Bet they vote Democratic too....

Crapping in their hands and flinging it is a better debating technique than the Democrats usually use.

It’s a bit bigger than that, but not terribly much.

The chimps would be happier if the town invited them to dinner. But I guess the town could lose face.

A tough place to get used to. ;>)

I declare that from this day forward all rats in the state of Iowa are to be made HONORARY DEMOCRATS! Less of a stretch than chimps as citizens.

[Wagonboy]

ACORN has already registered them. -Wb

[Dr.Deth]

Chimps made honorary citizens of Wash. town...and were immediately issued driver's licenses and registered as Democrats. Motor voter, you bet.

Wow, gorgeous! Why on earth did they have to draw such idiotic attention to themselves? Oh yeah, Democrats...

[DannyTN]

I think in Ohio the rats are already voting.

[Prophet in the wilderness]

Ahhh yes, Liberals finding their roots...

If you ever watched “Northern Exposure” the little town of Roslyn is where they filmed part of it. The tavern with the moose on the side of the building is in Roslyn.
