Review: 2018.574 (A Word for Authors)
Pro: It’s got at least four laugh-out-loud lines in it. I particularly liked the idea that the President was selected by the Electoral College so “only someone of superior education could serve as president.”
Con: It's funny, but it doesn't really tell a story.
