The theft happened in Oregon, but there's no Portlandist so we're just going to have to post it here and try to get the word out. Tell your friends to be on the lookout for a group of 2-to-3-foot-tall puppets with paper mache heads and wooden hands. Let no stone between here and Seattle be unturned!

In a final tip of the hat that sums up this year's (disappointing) election, Gavin Watch has celebrity candidate Chicken John's surprise Saturday night debate with San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom. Not the real mayor, mind you, but Gavin in puppet form. (Kudos to those who created the puppet, though we would've have liked to have seen Newsom sporting a signature cold-blue tie. We digress.)

It's a humorous bit, one that stretches on and on, but worth your time. And beware: the political puppetry metaphors whirling about might hit you smack-ouch in the crotch. Enjoy!
