The Last Word: Assignment 2 due tomorrow Consider: Could American elections be organized or conducted any differently? If so, how? WQ "President Obama will travel to Las Vegas to speak at the same high school where he laid out his immigration plan two years ago. So Obama's become that guy who graduated a while ago and still comes back to hang with the seniors." –Jimmy Fallon "Today is Vice President Joe Biden's birthday! Biden started the day with a dance party and a big piece of cake, and then he remembered it was his birthday." –Seth Meyers "Analysts say Obama's new immigration plan will focus on deporting violent criminals. So, this could impact your fantasy football team." –Conan O'Brien "Germany has overtaken the United States as the world's favorite country. Germany is the most popular country in the world. That is one heck of a comeback." –Jimmy Kimmel "Pope Francis announced that next year he is coming to the United States, or as Fox News is reporting it, 'Obama lets in yet another guy from South America.'" –Conan O'Brien
