The front page of The Mix on April 23 had an article by Scott Pierce on "The Handmaid's Tale." The second paragraph had me convinced that the story was about an American president who spent his formative years in a Muslim country and then populated his key Cabinet and advisory staff with several Muslims.
From the rather detailed scenario about the subjugation of women, I assumed that Pierce was talking about a president who eventually enacted Sharia Law. Then I read the third paragraph and realized that you had completely put one over on me.
Pierce is obviously the nom de plume of Pat Bagley, your Trump-phobic political cartoonist, and that the article was intentionally in the entertainment section of The Tribune.
Well played, editor, well played.
