This leads out of last week’s run of strips and back into the students’ first articles. It’s funny how these comic strips move, since we’re just finishing the first semester this coming Thursday.

If you haven’t seen this nonsense, check it out. I’m not going to embed it because it’s nonsense. I should mention that I’m aware Lou Dobbs is more of a commentator than a journalist. I didn’t hold him to any journalistic standards in my lesson.
