If you haven't heard of Michael Ramirez, he's a stand-up guy.
He was editorial cartoonist at Memphis' "Commercial Appeal" newspaper,
then was basically the token conservative at The Los Angeles Times
until being pushed out with all the re-shuffling going on.

Two notable things:
1. When Trent Lott was being battered about having appeared before
some Southern-heritage group that Democrats said was racist (name of
group escapes me), Ramirez essentially said "hey, I've done a presentation
with that group and met a lot of them, but they aren't racists!"
(Ramirez is an American of Phillipino extraction)

2.
He did an incredible cartoon on "Don't Ask, Don't Tell".
It showed an MP at a checkpoint with the dialog-bubble of
"Don't ask? Don't tell?"
over his head, looking at a jeep with a soldier driving and a sheep in the
passenger seat...

I saw it on a website (before I knew how to "appropriate" .jpgs)...
it was gone in a day thanks to big fit thrown by the GLBT advocacy groups.
