Ramirez Nails It
Micheal Ramiriez is cartoonist for IBD. Fools rush in... I hope she put down a towel. ;-)
And you know what I've found worse? BEING able to sleep sometimes. My gf is going through some tough personal times with some close members of her family at a stage where it's pretty much just a matter of time when they leave this world... and I find myself being able to sleep at night... while she struggles (understandibly). Now I have guilt issues, too.
*sigh*
I remember when I was a kid and wanted to be an adult because everything would be so much easier then. Not working out quite the way I'd hoped.
Ramirez is great. He was one of the few really good things in the LA Times until they "diversified" the editorial page. Remember when people thought he was the only conservative voice in the paper. A cartoonist!

Let me be the first to say you're up early, Rob. Can't sleep lately, like many of us?
Great find. I'm stealing it for my barren blog.

Nice paint job.
Good luck changing anything after the ink has already dried.
