Boycott the Los Angeles Times

The increasingly conservative Los Angeles Times just fired (for no stated reason) powerhouse liberal columnist Robert Scheer. Outrageous! They also canned the one conservative worth keeping around: Cartoonist Michael Ramirez. I despise his politics, but he's a great craftsman.

My old art teacher Nancy Ohanian, the finest pen-and-ink specialist this country has ever produced, is syndicated by the Times. She's too ladylike to tell those censoring bastards to go to hell, but I wish she would.

Oh, fear not. As a sane liberal I've been boycotting the Times for a while now--the decidedly rightest bent of their feature stories, particularly those on health, scared me away forever.
