Greetings, Zoners! For those of you in school, it’s graduation season here in the US, which is partly why I’m finishing this post up so late tonight. But the bookstore at the airport had ‘I Am America (And So Can You!)’ on a shelf labeled ‘Gifts for Grads’ and I can’t think of a better present for anyone starting their journey through post-collegiate life. The Report is off next week – so use the extra time to catch up on anything you’ve missed and browse a few classic video clips.
