Maybe you're not feeling bookish right now. Maybe you're feeling like the fellow in P.G. Wodehouse's novel Spring Fever who "gave the book a tentative prod with the tip of his fingers, like a puppy pawing at a tortoise." It could be you're up for something pictorial instead, especially if it's political and likely to bring a smile to your face. Then I say gaze on this collection of Michael Ramirez's recent cartoons. Among others, they feature Saddam and Baghdad Bob.
I know I'm not telling you Californians anything new when I say Mr. Ramirez is the Pulitzer Prize winning political columnist at the Los Angeles Times. I am telling you, however, that if you like what you see from Mr. Ramirez, then come along to Huntington Beach this weekend and hear him show and tell more—at the meeting of the Claremont Institute's President's Club. He is Saturday's luncheon speaker.
And if you haven't already made the patriotic move into Claremont's President's Club, do so and you'll bolster the team and disappoint the enemies of freedom and constitutional government.
