Paul Conrad, 1924 – 2010
Paul Conrad, winner of three Pulitzer Prizes, whose poignant political cartoons were so effective in speaking truth to power that the criminal cabal inside the Nixon White House placed Conrad on its “Enemies List,” has passed at the age of 86. Conrad regarded placement on the Nixon’s enemies list as a badge of honor. He lampooned the ethically challenged former President in this biting cartoon.
We at The BRAD BLOG join with the Los Angeles Times in mourning the loss of one of the giants of 20th Century journalism.

It’s often largely come down to cartoonists and comedians (and, nowadays, bloggers) to say what the mainstream media’s too cowardly and corrupt to say.
Thanks for these great articles, Ernest. Always look forward to them.
(I guess you and Brad might be on some kind of list. I wouldn’t put it past the interchangeable Democrats/Republicans)
I kind of wonder if it hasn’t always been that way, hence the reason cartoons in the printed media have been around so long.

Well, we know there’s this list anyway.
Other than that, no, I’m not back yet. Leave me alone.
GRAN-MAN!
More often that not bloggers will be straight forward with their comments, while mainstream media will simply sugarcoat what they have to say, to an extent.
