Two pages of the paper featured columns of candidates--name at the top, photo, then a brief description of what they were running for and their platform. One such candidate stood out to Joe: (click to enlarge)
With all due respect to Joanne, somebody at the editor's desk was a-snoozin' and gave me a giggle.

Seriously? I agree...someone was definitely a-snoozin'! :)
Interesting obit, eh. She will probably win in the election - sometimes the deceased candidates are the best.
For some reason, the first sentence of your post put the Sheena Easton song 'Morning Train' in my head. And I figured, why should I be the only one to suffer? You're welcome.
Anyhoodle, this gives me a giggle too. I live in such a small town that when I moved here someone warned me about write-in votes; he said he ended up being a supervisor of some stripe because his neighbors wrote him in as a half-joke.
Oh my stars ~ can you imagine? Couldn't they put the announcement about the voting into a separate news story? Was someone trying to save on space in the local paper???
Oh man....

Small town papers are always good for a laugh before they wrap fish or line bird cages
Poor Joanne! I hope she still gets a few votes.
I think they should have also noted that Joann will not be keeping any of her campaign promises. The voters do have a right to know that :)
Somebody's gonna get fired!
oooh, so funny but it will be awkward at the news desk on Monday.
Someone certainly messed that one up. Kinda funny though.
A. Marie--Isn't that awful??! I have to admit to giggling though. ;)
Grace--Hahaha! No kidding, Grace!!
Shieldmaiden--Thank you for the song, pally. I just want you to know I was singing that damn song ALL day. Ugh.
Catherine--The first sentence kills me. It looks like they had the column all ready to go.....and then she died. Yikes.
Pricilla--It's not really that small because one suburb of Chicago just blends into the next. Either way, that paper reads small town---especially now!
Daisy--Hahaha! It's Chicago, Daisy--Folks vote for ALL kinds of people. Even dead ones!
Ann--Hahaha! But I'll bet she gets elected anyway!
Violet--Somehow I doubt it. Poor Joanne's family!
Highway--I was mortified and then cracked up! I can't believe nobody caught that first sentence. "My name is Joanne, I am....dead."
Beaded Tail--I thought so. It's one of those "should I laugh" kinda things.
They already had the print set and couldn't change it?... I thought we were past the days when text was difficult to change. I bet a lot of people never even read the pertinent part!
You should send this to the Tonight Show....if the photo,name,town was cut out maybe Jay Leno would use it.
Sharky--Isn't that bad??! Somebody didn't bother to check. Yikes.
Jean--I'm thinking Jay may be coming to the Duck and Wheel for his material now. ;)
What the....
