Mark Twain’s Relevance Today Gary Scharnhorst (University of New Mexico) From the earliest stage of his writing career‚ Mark Twain was more than a literary comedian. From the first‚ his humor had a satirical and sometimes even a bitter edge‚ and throughout his life he repeatedly ridiculed the foolishness and foibles of the “damned human race.” His humor was in fact the basis of his appeal across classes‚ races‚ and nationalities.

Gary Johnson has strong economic stances on the issues facing the American economy. You can see this in this example‚ when
