# "Judging the News" - April 16, 1931 This satirical column mocks current events through brief commentary and cartoons. **Top commentary** references Mr. Mellon's budget deficit predictions, a Democrat's campaign style, and disputes about whether Einstein viewed the universe as static or dynamic—likely referencing the ongoing scientific debate about relativity and cosmology. **Main cartoon** depicts a woman at a fence watching a cat knock over a fishbowl, with the caption "Good Lord! That d—n eat again!" This appears to satirize repeated failures or mistakes—possibly political incompetence or economic mismanagement recurring despite previous consequences. The woman's exasperation mirrors public frustration with recurring problems. The cartoon's humor lies in the cyclical nature of the disaster and her resigned reaction to predictable chaos.
