Add this to the "truth is stranger than fiction" category:  an 18 year old high school senior has been elected mayor of Hillsdale, MI.  (Full story here and here). Hillsdale has about 9,000 residents and is home to a small college. 

Not only was Michael Sessions elected, but he was elected as a write-in and he beat an incumbent. Since he still lives at home I wonder how things will work with his parents?  Will they call him Mr. Mayor?  Will they make him pay rent?  And how about school?  What will his teachers call him?

I’m trying to remember what I was doing my senior year of high school, and though I don’t remember much I can say with certainty that it wasn’t very productive.  In fact if it didn’t involve sports or girls I don’t think I was interested.

Speaking of girls just think about what this is going to do for Mayor Sessions’ social situation.  Poor kid.
