The Valley Independent Sentinel posted a video of a Seymour Board of Selectman meeting. It wasn't an intense discussion of education costs, it wasn't a ceremony honoring police officers, nor was it a partisan debate that caused reporter Eugene Driscoll to whip out the camera (though he might have taken video for all of those reasons, we are sure).

No, it was a mouse.

Driscoll grabbed, on video, one of those rare occurrences when politics is interrupted by the unforeseen. It's not a commentary on the nature of political discourse, the way priorities are preempted by whatever small, scurrying distraction pulls our attention at that moment.

It's just really funny.
