		<description>Matt:

My apologies for calling your friend Michael Ramirez a jerk-off, but he&#039;s worked hard to earn it.

The funny thing is that I really enjoy his artwork and cleverness - it&#039;s just such a waste to use it on super-biased falsehoods.

Perhaps you can bring him back from the dark side.</description>

		<description>Thanks BASHEA.
You know, despite his misguided, fascistic tendencies, Mike Ramirez is a good guy. I know you&#039;ll find it hard to believe, but he has been one of my biggest boosters and supporters throughout my career and we are good friends regardless of our political differences. If only the country could function that way.

As to his inexplicable lack of criticism of Bush, you raise an interesting point. Many cartoonists (who overwhelmingly lean toward Obama) are wondering what it&#039;ll be like cartooning a guy we agree with. I agreed with a lot of what President Clinton stood for too, but it didn&#039;t take long for A) him to start slipping up and B) His political adversaries to go nuts and consequently make ripe cartoon targets of themselves too.</description>

		<description>Matt:

I hope you don&#039;t get tired of hearing this, because I&#039;ll never get tired of saying it: You do great work, and I really enjoy it.

Not only are your views accurate, you tell them in such a clever and hilarious way.  Unlike that jerkoff Michael Ramirez.

Bush and his administration have run America into the ground, yet over the last 8 years Ramirez hasn&#039;t drawn a SINGLE cartoon saying anything adverse about them.  I&#039;m surprised Ramirez doesn&#039;t work for Fox News (sorry to spout off here, but he doesn&#039;t publish a valid e-mail address).</description>

		<description>Matt,

If I understand any of the drawbacks of McCain&#039;s plan (a big &quot;if&quot;), it includes no provisions for anyone losing their jobs, &amp; therefore, their employer-based health insurance. 

Anyone can see that job layoffs are daily occurrences, &amp; more are constantly in the offing. 

This is a heartbreaking time to think of 1 more way to shove the newly unemployed &amp; now uninsured person right thru the social safety net.

When we fall thru, who&#039;ll be there to catch us if McCain still sees our country&#039;s main enemy as socialized medicine?</description>
