Boo!

This poor blogger was interrupted while slaving over a hot keyboard three times this week to answer the phone. At the other end, this blogger listened to the opening spiel in robocalls in behalf of the Dumbo incumbent U.S. Senator from Texas who is in a reelection fight. First, it was Mrs. John Cornyn on the line. Click. Then, the next two calls came from the Great Man hisself. Click Click. Why would Dumbo robocallers target this poor blogger? Like the Dumbo national campaign, they're spinnin' their wheels. Hangin' up on a robocall is F-U-N. Keep callin' Dumbos. Click. If this is (fair & balanced) telephony, so be it.

[John Sherffius began drawing editorial cartoons for the Daily Bruin, the campus newspaper at UCLA. After two years of working as a freelance artist, after graduation, he was hired by the Ventura County Star in Southern California as a graphic artist and gradually worked his way into editorial cartooning for the paper. In 1998, he was hired by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch as the newspaper's editorial cartoonist, a job he held until 2003 when he quit the paper over editorial differences. Sherffius bridled at editorial insistence that he tone down cartoons attacking Republicans. Sherffius then went to work for the Boulder Daily Camera where his cartoons appear regularly and are syndicated nationally by the Copley News Service. Sherffius won the 2008 Herblock Prize for Editorial Cartooning.]
