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.

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 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.
