Political cartoonist Michael Ramirez is simply a genius. I have been amazed and entertained for years by Mr. Ramirez’s phenomenal ability to size up a situation with one drawing and a bare minimum of words.

His Dec. 4 Review-Journal cartoon depicting Rep. Jerry Nadler as a princess in “Ditzy’s Frozen” is so funny, hip and poignant that it’s scary.

We who call Las Vegas home are blessed to have a man of Mr. Ramirez’s talent on staff of our city’s premier newspaper. To the RJ and our community, he is truly a gift at Christmas and throughout the year.

It is only a matter of time before a driver runs over one of the near-invisible e-motorists. And nobody wants to be that driver when such a simple solution exists.
