Drawing a conclusion

John DeRosier, the editorial cartoonist for the Times Union newspaper in Albany, NY, didn’t leave any doubt in today's cartoon about his stance on the proposal by Gov. David Patterson to allow wine sales in grocery stores.

Thirty-five other states already allow groceries to sell wines.
