Well, I scrolled forward on my Cox cable system to see what it said for ch. 10 tonight and nothing showed about the debate. I contacted the station by phone and e-mail but nothing yet. Some more poking around yielded a Sept. 7 press release from the Fairfax League of Women Voters, a co-sponsor of the debate, that said ch. 10 would be taping the debate for later broadcast. I still may tune in just to see, but it looks like we'll have time to set up a taping, unless someone brings a digital camcorder to the debate. I really hope Hurst takes advantage of this opportunity to knock Davis down a few pegs.

Oh yeah, George Allen today admitted his grandfather was Jewish. No apology for getting all indignant yesterday about having to publicly address it. Nor did he apologize for seeming to say that asking someone whether their grandfather was Jewish was "making aspersions." Instead, he continued to attack the reporter for asking and claiming that his mother's reputation was being impugned. He says his mother wouldn't talk about why her father had been imprisoned by the Nazis and in general wouldn't talk about the past. I read in another blog today about Allen's sister's book, Fifth Quarter, and her telling about her and Allen's mother's seemingly sarcastic attitude toward the people in a church service, calling the cleric a hypocrite, the collection plate holders, vultures, and the sermon about sins, guilt inducing.

I'll probably suspend blogging and commenting on other blogs for the evening, unless I hear some news I can pass along.  ¶ 6:06 PM
