“Things I‘d Like To Post About Today; But I Don’t Have Any Time ‘4‘”:

• Congrats to cartoonist Michael Ramirez on his Pulitzer, and to Investors Business Daily for hiring him after the dumber-than-a-box-of-rocks Los Angeles Times dumped him in 2005.
• Brian Fitzpatrick of the Culture and Media Institute, at Townhall yesterday (HT to an e-mailer) — “No Forgiving Charlton Heston.” The column’s recitation of Heston’s accomplishments is outstanding. There’s also this noteworthy sentence: “In 2003 actor and leftist political activist George Clooney joked about Heston’s illness [Alzheimer’s disease], and, after Heston criticized him for the remark, he retorted, ‘I don’t care. Charlton Heston is the head of the National Rifle Association. He deserves whatever anyone says about him.’”
• Last night, Jake Tapper at ABC’s Political Punch Line takes down Bill Clinton’s Defense of His Wife’s Bosnia Sniper-Fire Story.” His wife is the presidential candidate I refer to as HR4C (Hillary Rodham Cackling Crying Complaining Clinton).
• Matt at Weapons of Mass Discussion has posted the text of Congresswoman Jean Schmidt’s newsletter honoring Matt Maupin.
• NixGuy has a roundup about the mess Ohio’s Attorney General (aka Eliot Sptizer Mini-Me) Marc Dann is in. Do follow his links. The latest related stories from Columbus Dispatch and Dayton Daily News are here and here. DDN editorializes: “Mr. Dann has been attorney general for fewer than 18 months, and he’s brought more embarrassment upon himself than even his enemies could have manufactured.”
