# "Judging the News" - Political Satire from Judge Magazine This page satirizes 1932 American politics through commentary and a cartoon. The text discusses: - **Political forecasts**: The writers note that only Mickey Mouse seems electable after reading predictions - **A beer demonstration**: Successfully blockading trucks during Prohibition enforcement - **Rent-strikers in New York**: Protesting street-cleaning brush sales - **Hoover's election**: Sarcastically comparing it to an "Electoral College boys" prank - **Senate jokes**: A reference to Huey Long entering the Senate The main cartoon depicts a newsstand operator telling a man heading to the Republican Convention: "Have a heart, Buddy—I'm on my way to the Republican Convention." The satire suggests pessimism about the Convention's prospects, likely during the Depression era when Republicans faced voter dissatisfaction.
