After I drew my
cartoon about George Allen, I decided on a lark to offer the original art to S.R. Sidarth, the University of Virginia student whom Allen addressed as "macaca," since we both live in Charlottesville. I figured he might appreciate it since he's featured in it, and could think of no better home for that particular work. Sidarth graciously agreed to my request for a photo, and the moment of cartoon changing hands has been immortalized above. I'm going to go on the official record and state he's cool.
What's not cool is the fact that the race between Allen and Webb is still excruciatingly close. I confess I'm somewhat baffled that the same state that elected Democratic governors Mark Warner and Tim Kaine back-to-back could fall again for this old-school racist goofball, especially given his recent comments and the Republicans' calamitous leadership at the national level. I'll be embarrassed for Virginia if he wins.
