First You Get The Elephants, Then You Get The Plurality Of Votes, Then You Get The Women!

We were all a little confused back in January when Bob Brady announced his candidacy for mayor and included a wish to bring the elephants back to the Philadelphia Zoo.

The elephants hadn’t left yet, but one was set to go to an elephant sanctuary and the others were to head to the Maryland Zoo.

But, well, apparently, you control the construction business, you control the elephants.

The Philadelphia Zoo’s three African elephants will not move to the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore, which announced today that it has delayed the expansion of its elephant habitat and would not be able to accommodate Petal, Kallie and Bette this spring as planned.

It’s amazing. Bob Brady has enough power to stall construction in other cities. (Well, how would you explain it then?) Also, it appears he’ll be able to keep a campaign promise without actually having to do anything, like get elected or maybe even be on the ballot. That’s pretty impressive.
