Looking for a job for some spending money, but you don’t want to bag groceries or wait tables? You could follow the example of 18 year-old Michael Sessions. He was recently elected mayor of Hillsdale, Michigan. No, I’m not joking. USA Today reports it here. He beat the 51 year-old incumbent Doug Ingles by only two votes! Good thing his parents voted for him.

Apparently Mr. Sessions ran a write-in campaign on a $700 campaign budget. (MSN reports that Mayor Bloomberg spent $67 million to get reelected mayor of New York City!)

I like this line: “Sessions plans to devote after-school hours to the job and use his bedroom as his office.” You could do that. Any future mayors among us?
