Why the Big Bad Wolf Lost

The shocking defeat of the Big Bad Wolf in yesterday's election has triggered a tidal wave of soul-searching in the canidae community. Apparently, the electorate's pig ignorance was not enough this time. What went wrong? What follows is a sampling of the howling of the canine news media.

Vulpine News: The BBW was listening to the wrong culinary advisers, some of them French! They were telling him how to make choucroute garnie and crepes and sweet and sour stuff. Your basic Big Bad Wolf needs to eat his pork raw.

The Huffenpuff Post: It wasn't so much the BBW's fault. The Woodman is a skilled demagogue, who manipulated the pigs' preference for not having their houses blown down, opposition to being governed by predatory officials, and reluctance to being eaten. Yes, this is the same Woodman who could barely mumble past the price of timber and the market for straw, stick, and stone houses during the debates.

The Fang Report: The BBW did not pay enough attention to the burgeoning porcine vote among his piggy constituency, something that a wolf among pigs ignores at his peril.
