Just wanted to thank everyone for reading, and for all the insightful and intelligent comments. http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12150611081765175 http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12150611081765175 Thu, 06 Nov 2008 21:51:53 -0400 McCain's concession speech was indeed gracious, and had he acted more like that throughout the campaign, I think the race would have been closer. http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12150511080537891 http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12150511080537891 Wed, 05 Nov 2008 15:55:06 -0400 When I began this blog in its current form, a couple weeks after my coverage of the Democratic National Convention, I half expected it to be an exercise in masochism. McCain and Palin were riding high in the polls following her hard-edged acceptance speech at the RNC. http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12150411083948591 http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12150411083948591 Tue, 04 Nov 2008 22:58:05 -0400 [UPDATED 2:17am] Just back from the Gravity Lounge, where Tom Perriello and the C-ville Dems cheered the great news tonight in Virginia. http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12150411083274532 http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12150411083274532 Tue, 04 Nov 2008 21:05:45 -0400 I'm reporting live from the living room of one Kristin Adolfson, which is packed with Obama supporters biting their nails over Virginia. http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12150411082645530 http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12150411082645530 Tue, 04 Nov 2008 19:36:00 -0400 Before heading to the Republicans' party at Rivals Sports Bar, I decided to fortify myself with free ice cream from the Ben & Jerry's at Barracks Road. B&J was giving out free ice cream to "all voters" between 5-8pm. http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12150411083679793 http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12150411083679793 Tue, 04 Nov 2008 10:42:17 -0400 I woke up this morning with the sense that there's some task I need to do, but I can't quite put my finger on it, dammit. No wait, don't say anything -- it'll come to me. http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12150311081438960 http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12150311081438960 Mon, 03 Nov 2008 16:58:03 -0400 Stuck at home watching the returns on your living room couch?

But it did occur to me the other night, while watching an Obama ad, that I'm down with the sans serif the campaign has been using. http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12152910084263733 http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12152910084263733 Wed, 29 Oct 2008 13:35:09 -0400 Okay, this Joe the Plumber business is really starting to stink like an overflowing septic tank. Never mind that he isn't a licensed plumber, owes back taxes, and is nowhere close to making $250K a year. http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12152710084023265 http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12152710084023265 Tue, 28 Oct 2008 01:13:49 -0400 Holy ballot box, Batman! Election Day is ONE WEEK AWAY!! http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12152710084360248 http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12152710084360248 Mon, 27 Oct 2008 02:02:45 -0400 I thought I would share a couple examples of pro-McCain wackiness that caught my eye recently. http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12152310084275264 http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12152310084275264 Thu, 23 Oct 2008 13:35:33 -0400 Yesterday was a busy day for politics in Virginia, with Obama rallies in Richmond and Leesburg, and a visit to U.Va by MSNBC political cartoonist and editor of the widely-read Cagle Cartoon Index, Daryl Cagle. http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12152110083078227 http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12152110083078227 Tue, 21 Oct 2008 23:14:12 -0400 On Saturday, McCain adviser Nancy Pfotenhauer said McCain would do well in the "real Virginia" which, by her definition, means anyplace south of NoVa. Which would seem to include the heavily Obama-leaning Charlottesville, no? http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12152010080428801 http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12152010080428801 Mon, 20 Oct 2008 15:24:50 -0400 I am sorry to report that I have not yet received my McCain robocall informing me of Obama's terrorist-lovin' ways. In the leadup to the Virginia primary several months ago, Mr. McCain contacted me twice, robotically, to tell me that he is a proud Republican in the mold of Ronald Reagan (heavy emphasis on the mold). http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12151710084194015 http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12151710084194015 Fri, 17 Oct 2008 12:56:18 -0400 A lot of people, myself included, were taken aback by McCain's mockery of concern for the "health of the mother" as an "extreme pro-abortion position" in the debate the other night. But if McCain's actual record on reproductive rights were more widely discussed in this election, his comment might not have come as such a big surprise. http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12151510083545325 http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12151510083545325 Thu, 16 Oct 2008 00:30:36 -0400 Tonight we got to see the cantankerous bastard side of McCain that he tried so hard to suppress during the last debate. His performance would have been perfect, if he were running for president of the United States of Apeshit. http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12151310083215704 http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12151310083215704 Tue, 14 Oct 2008 00:21:12 -0400 Is there really anything more red than going to a Sarah Palin Rally at a NASCAR speedway on the holiday celebrating the European conquistadors' arrival in the Americas? http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12151210084649611 http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12151210084649611 Sun, 12 Oct 2008 14:14:54 -0400 We interrupt our regular bursts of political hand-wringing to bring you an important message. The results of Charlottesville-Albermarle SPCA's election between the DemoCats and RePuplicans are in, with victory going to the DemoCats. http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12150910083856816 http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12150910083856816 Thu, 09 Oct 2008 12:08:38 -0400 I was struck by something on the CBS News website this morning. Have a look at this screen shot I took: http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12150710083590809 http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12150710083590809 Tue, 07 Oct 2008 23:40:15 -0400 Unlike the first debate, in which the candidates seemed more or less evenly matched, I'd say Obama pretty solidly topped McCain this time around. Obama's answers just seemed clearer and more down to earth. McCain came off as, well, dated. http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12150710080442584 http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12150710080442584 Tue, 07 Oct 2008 14:23:46 -0400 At a panel on election cartooning this past weekend, a member of the audience asked whether we'd be at a loss for material if Obama wins. He corrected himself: "Or I should say, when Obama wins." http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12150610081091708 http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12150610081091708 Mon, 06 Oct 2008 17:41:57 -0400 I have returned from the great annual comics fest in Bethesda, Maryland known as SPX, where a bevy of altweekly political cartoonists were on hand for this year's election-themed programming. http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12150210083764381 http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12150210083764381 Fri, 03 Oct 2008 00:33:55 -0400 I am troubled by the suggestion that because Palin did not have a truly spectacular brain-fart moment, that means she somehow "held her own." She did not hold a candle to Biden. http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12150110084170973 http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12150110084170973 Thu, 02 Oct 2008 01:21:47 -0400 I'll be watching the Vice Presidential debate in the company of cartoonists and cartoon fans in Bethesda, MD, where I'll be for the annual Small Press Expo. Should be an entertaining, if gut-wrenching evening. http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12153009083903669 http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12153009083903669 Wed, 01 Oct 2008 01:22:03 -0400 Note to self: Start thrash band called Toxic Assets. So you may have noticed that the Dow lost nearly 800 points on Monday. Yep, I caught that one too. http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12152909080872758 http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12152909080872758 Mon, 29 Sep 2008 17:17:13 -0400 You know, I was thinking this weekend about my extensive foreign policy experience. I have several Facebook friends in other countries. Also, I have enjoyed many beers of the world, giving me some diplomatic bona fides should we ever enter a cold war with Ireland or Belgium. http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12152609083724540 http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12152609083724540 Sat, 27 Sep 2008 00:23:07 -0400 Well, the first debate is in the can. The two seemed pretty evenly matched in terms of debating skills. I present to you the notes I took while watching: http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12152509082024222 http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12152509082024222 Thu, 25 Sep 2008 23:44:04 -0400 McCain campaign spokesperson Brian Rogers recently said "We're running a campaign to win. And we're not too concerned about what the media filter tries to say about it." Rogers was responding to accusations that the campaign was sinking to new lows with its fabrications about earmarks, bridges to nowhere, and lipstick-wearing pigs. http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12152509084664176 http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12152509084664176 Thu, 25 Sep 2008 01:34:11 -0400 By suggesting he might back out of the debate with Obama on Friday without first informing the Obama campaign, McCain seems to be doing anything but "putting politics aside." http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12152409083824965 http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12152409083824965 Thu, 25 Sep 2008 00:01:55 -0400 I just had to remark on the ad for Rep. Virgil Goode I just saw while waiting for David Letterman to come on. The voiceover said "Independent-minded. Working for us." The tagline: "Independent voice." http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12152309084126553 http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12152309084126553 Wed, 24 Sep 2008 01:35:53 -0400 So a dominant right-wing meme about the mortgage crisis seems to be that it was caused by the 1977 Community Reinvestment Act, intended to help minorities achieve home ownership. Apparently this load of bunk has been making the rounds for many months now and was recently amplified by the likes of Neil Cavuto and other talking heads on Fox News. http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12152209083740633 http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12152209083740633 Tue, 23 Sep 2008 00:39:57 -0400 Republicans' fixation on welfare never ceases to amaze me. Many times throughout this campaign season, I have heard the familiar refrain of "I won't vote for a Democrat because I don't want my taxes going to some lazy bum who refuses to work" http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12152109084613243 http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12152109084613243 Sun, 21 Sep 2008 02:07:49 -0400 I got so wrapped up in the Women for Obama rally and then my cartoon deadline that I haven't had a chance to remark on the vortex of doom that seems to be swallowing our economy. John McCain said something last week that struck me as particularly laughable. http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12151809083862701 http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12151809083862701 Thu, 18 Sep 2008 11:30:24 -0400 Yesterday's Women for Obama rally, while decidedly light on attacks on the McCain campaign, contained the single most important message the Dems can deliver about McCain and women. http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12151709083249964 http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12151709083249964 Wed, 17 Sep 2008 21:58:13 -0400 It was a lovely day for Michelle Obama, Jill Biden, and Lilly Ledbetter to come to Charlottesville. Here are some pictures; my thoughts on the event will follow in a separate post. http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12151709080451862 http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12151709080451862 Wed, 17 Sep 2008 13:15:18 -0400 I'm about to head out to attend the Virginia Women for Obama Rally featuring Michelle Obama, Jill Biden, and Goodyear sex discrimination victim Lilly Ledbetter. http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12151609083193004 http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12151609083193004 Tue, 16 Sep 2008 22:48:39 -0400 While doing some Google research for my cartoon the other day, I inadvertently came across an article written by a pastor (and hardcore "Obama is a Muslim" conspiracy nut) asserting that "John Edwards has a lying spirit." http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12151509083218710 http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12151509083218710 Mon, 15 Sep 2008 23:04:16 -0400 Would've posted earlier, but Mr. Slowpoke insisted that I watch "Cube Zero" with him, the final installment of "The Cube" trilogy. The films are about, well, being stuck in a cube with no way out -- a fairly apt metaphor for how I feel about our American politics sometimes. http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12151209084182376 http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12151209084182376 Fri, 12 Sep 2008 15:30:00 -0400 This has been Freakout Week for Dems and progressives across the land, and I have not been immune to it. Sarah Palin scares the bejeezus out of me (which is ironic considering how she wants to force the bejeezus into people). http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12151009084140535 http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=1992008083510744&act=post&pid=12151009084140535 Wed, 10 Sep 2008 18:37:53 -0400 We're leaving together, But still it's farewell And maybe we'll come back, To earth, who can tell?
