I just started on this thread, so please forgive me if this is a duplicate answer to your question.

Here's a link to Rall's bio, with picture: Ted Rall was born in Cambridge, Mass., in 1963 . . .

Perhaps the advertising department of Rall's syndicator would like to know just what product they are selling to advertisers:

Ralls just told OReilly he is just a good liberal democrate.

Enough said.
