published Oct. 10/08: Chatsworth's new bridge

I often like to combine two different stories into one cartoon. Chatsworth is, in fact, getting a new bridge on one of its roads. And if you've followed the U.S. election I don't need to tell you about Palin and some of her wackiness. Now, I doubt she actually has or will call Chatsworth, although, to her credit, she does at least realise that Canada is a neighbour of Alaska.
I'm convinced that the Republicans are trying to throw this election. Hey, would you want to take over power after what Bush and the forces behind him have done? So, I bleieve they are quite content to just sit back and bide their time for 4 years and let the Democrats take the heat.
If the Republicans were to win again by actually putting up reasonable candidates, or if worse came to worse and fix the election like they did 8 years ago (remember Florida???), the public down there would NEVER forgive or forget them. So that's why we have two of the wackiest, weakest candidates ever to run for the White House. And if they seem to be getting too close to winning, they can always rig the election in reverse to see that the other side wins... or suddenly(???) have a financial crisis that focuses attention on their candidates weak suit.
