I would like to offer a humble apology on behalf of All the News Christina Knows. I missed an important time period in neglecting to send last weekend's update, leaving Christina completely unaware of the fact that Nelson Mandela died last Thursday. Who knows what kind of cultural references she may have completely missed over the past six days as a result! If she were walking down the halls of my own school, for example, she might have thought it odd that the 3rd grade students created a tribute in Mandela's honor.
Or, she might have heard the phrase "Apartheid is not Obamacare" and had no understanding of where it originated.
She may have missed the scrutiny Obama was placed under regarding his every move in reference to Mandela's passing, including this and this.
Christina, I sincerely apologize.
