Mark Twain in the News
Even though he's been dead for decades, there are still regular mentions of Twain in the news. Whether it's the publication of his autobiography, a new book about his affair, a bit about Tina Fey winning the Mark Twain Prize for humor, or an allusion to one of his short stories in a local newspaper, he's everywhere! Find a contemporary news text which refers to Twain and post the link in the comment section for all of us to see. Along with your post, give a brief (1-2 sentence) explanation.

ReplyDeleteThe guy relates the current economy situation to Tom Sawyer's fence scene. "Clinton goes to China to tell them to lend us money, so that we can buy their stuff, and keep them working." Yet they could very well just keep their money and buy their own stuff. America is just playing the part of Tom.
Nice one, Arthur! Check on infinite campus... you have been rewarded for thinking about Twain when you didn't have to :)
