Ripping the Headlines Today - Paul Lander, Humor Times

Making fun of the headlines today, so you don’t have to

The news doesn’t need to be complicated and confusing; that’s what any new release from Microsoft is for. And, as in the case with anything from Microsoft, to keep the news from worrying our pretty little heads over, remember something new and equally indecipherable will come out soon:

Really all you need to do is follow one simple rule: barely pay attention and jump to conclusions. So, here are some headlines today and my first thoughts:

C’mon, let’s face it, Brett Kavanaugh said the word ‘beer’ so many times even people watching at home had to go pee. The performance was of biblical proportions; it was as if he converted beer into whine!

… guess they were all out of Pudding Pops.

It’s like they should change the school’s name from Georgetown Prep to Georgetown Perp.

National Enquirer had decades of Trump dirt, he wanted to buy it all

… and have Mexico pay for it!

McDonald’s made an awesome change to its burgers

Meat?

South Carolina teen awakes from wisdom teeth extraction convinced she’s engaged

Senate to delay Kavanaugh confirmation vote one week for FBI investigation

We’ll know Kavanaugh’s in big trouble if he’s called back to testify, and Christopher Plummer shows up instead.
