Inside: Best of Louisville Critics' Choices included the Mag Bar for Best Jukebox (we'll stand by it) and El Mundo for Best Quesadilla (ditto). The Critics' Choice for Best On-the-Scene TV Reporter went to WAVE-3's Anne Marshall, who is now our senior writer (standing by that one, too). Readers voted Carmichael's as the Best Bookstore, and the photo inside the High- lands location looks like it could have been taken yesterday. "Quick on the Draw" was a profile of Courier-Journal political cartoonist Nick Anderson, who won the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for editorial cartooning. Anderson, who was 38 at the time, recalled the cartoon that generated the most hate from readers. According to the story, the cartoon "depicted two Japanese men looking under the hood of an American car and finding garbage. One says, 'What are we going to do with 20,000 American cars a year?' The other responds, 'Fix them and send them back.'" "That's when I learned that they make the Ford Explorer (in Lou- isville)," Anderson said. While explaining his research process, he said, "I can't stand CNN for too long. I mean, I watch CNN and Fox (News) just to expose myself to both of those, but I can't take very much. It's really stupefying after awhile." And he said Mayor Jerry Abramson could "be a bit of a weenie about something controversial." In 2006, Anderson became the Houston Chronicle's editorial cartoonist. Outside: July 2005 Courier-Journal head- lines: "Kentucky soldier killed in Iraq"; "In- vading lizards caught in jam at park" (ACTU- AL jam, like what you'd spread on toast — Ed.); "Hundreds turn out for parties, latest Harry Potter book"; "Epidemic of illness erodes state's future"; "Report: Blacks sentenced more severely in Jefferson"; "Group prays for peace on streets after Louisville's 40th killing of '05." — Brooke McAfee Thank You for voting us a finalist for BEST BOUTIQUE Specializing in environmentally friendly products & gifts 801 E.
