In Virginia:

There are obviously other Congressional races in both states, and many more around the country. But, I figured if I didn't draw the line somewhere I might need to endorse my picks for the Alamance County (Burlington, NC) County Commissioners race.
I wanted to promote my friend Tom Angleberger's blog entry on a funky art sculpture designed like an avocado.
Years before she became a civic activist trying to bring attention to the horrific genocide in Darfur, Mia Farrow was an exceptional actress as one can see in her most splendid work "Rosemary's Baby" (1968).
"Tommy is a good listener and a pretty good actor too."
We are bringing back the Images of Virginia series after a three-week hiatus due to the 16 People Who Will Decide the Presidency series. 
Tomorrow night at midnight, there will be a screening of "The Big Lebowski" and on Oct. 25, they will have a midnight showing of the Japanese anime classic "Akira."

I am happy to report that the movie blog Screengrab is reporting that Dennis Hopper who went from becoming a radical hippie to a neocon is back on our side as he told a gathering in Italy that he is voting for Barack Obama.
Yes, yes, yes.........I said the blog was over. And, it is. I really, sincerely mean that! Yes, I do. 
But, after catching the last 30 minutes of the presidential debate last night and the PBS post-game commentary from David Brooks and Mark Shields, I popped in "Vampires in Havanna," an animated film which is more of a gangster movie spoof than I take on blood-sucking insomniacs.
With this entry, we conclude the blog known as Politics, Culture and Other Wastes of Time, which began on Sept. 21, 2005. I was hoping to reach the 1,000 entry plateau, but we are calling it quits at 968 entries.
SIDEBAR: Chapel Comics in Chapel Hill, NC, will have their grand reopening this Sat. Alas, I will not be there as I need to focus on other things........
In the interest of 'fair time,' I am posting a partial list of supporters for John McCain even though I am not supporting him. Hmmm....are dittohead blogs this civil??? We think not! The list goes from James Baker to actor James Woods, and includes images of Cong. Virginia Foxx (R-NC) and country singer Toby Keith.
This is the first of my 'last three entries," which I will explain later........

Suburbs, like Alexandria, Va., Cary, NC, Henderson, Nev., and Gary, Ind. ( a Chicago 'burb) will matter in this election, and that was evident yesterday as John McCain stumped in the DC-suburb of Arlington, Va., where his campaign is also headquatered.
