Ramirez Gets Real

Quick! Check around your offices for an empty seedpod, as I suspect Michael Ramirez might have been body-snatched. Lately he has made some criticisms that might actually make the powers that be uncomfortable and has actually shown concern for the welfare of the common citizen! Indeed, his June 13 editorial cartoon depicting Shaq as Los Angeles standing head and shoulders above the Valley and Hollywood nearly mirrors a letter I was poised to write. This is impossible!

Nonetheless, if you won’t make too big a deal about it, neither will I. It would be a welcome change from the status quo.
