# "Judging the News" - Judge Magazine This page satirizes recent news stories through editorial commentary and cartoon. The top section critiques: 1. **Alabama Supreme Court's Democratic primary ruling** - mocking the legal/procedural complexity 2. **Chicago's $800,000 horse-power contract** - sarcastically questioning whether such energy expenditure was necessary 3. **An Iowa farmer's wheat/barley hybrid** - humorously noting it looks and sounds like both crops 4. **A Johns Hopkins professor's brain theory** - joking that "one-ball" players always throw to the wrong base The bottom cartoon, "The ball player who had to mind the baby," depicts a baseball game where a player must tend an infant while playing, satirizing the conflict between professional sports and domestic responsibilities. The humor relies on the absurdity of combining these incompatible activities.
