A few weeks ago, when Tom/Dan announced a probable divorce, he cautioned that "This Modern World" would not feature any new 'toons in January 2018 and the content would be "evergreens and chestnuts" in the interim. Today. the 'toon is a "chestnut" from 2011 and the nutmeats consist of one of the classic sendups of Faux News. The Action McNews anchors, Wanda and Biff, greet a report from the intrepid (and vacuous) Betty McBettie about the non-existence of urban poverty in 2011. If this is a (fair & balanced) suggestion as to what a steady diet of "Action McNews" has done to the brain of the Moron-in-Chief, so be it.
