What's worse? ABC's indefinite suspension of Jimmy Kimmel, or Benedict Donald cutting town historic trees on the White House grounds to make room for his Shah-of-Iran-style ballroom?
It's hard to choose — so in the meantime, let's review some positive news coming out of the Commonwealth of Virginia, which holds key statewide elections on November 4.
Democratic gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger has reported that she raised $14 million in July and August — while her Republican opponent, the gay-hating nutcase Winsome Earle-Sears, only raised $5.2 million. Wow, almost three times as much for Abigail!
Now Spanberger has rolled out endorsements from two former GOP members of Congress, Barbara Comstock and Denver Riggleman — a nice riposte to Earle-Sears's bleating about Spanberger's "extremist agenda."
News like this should keep us inspired to make sure Virginia Democrats have resounding victories in November. Republicans may control the federal government, and the media are caving left and right — but (so far) we're still having elections. The only thing we can do besides march in the streets is to vote. We cats PURR.
(UPDATE, September 19: A new poll from Christopher Newport University has Spanberger ahead of Earle-Sears by 12 points, Hashmi beating Republican John Reid by 11, and Jones ahead of the incumbent Republican AG by seven. Yay! Early voting starts today. Go, Old Dominion, go! We cats PURR.)
