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:

Trump talks about buying Greenland

Because if climate change doesn’t put Greenland under water, his management style will!

This shoe is so popular, Angelina Jolie and Kourtney Kardashian wore it on the same exact day

You’d think they could afford more than one shoe between them …

Sounds like Trump Admin suffers from ‘’Lack of Attention to the Deficit Disorder.”

Trump’s now fighting with Anthony Scaramucci

It’s The Mooch vs. the Moocher!

And, he would’ve got away with it if hadn’t asked for a badge for entrepreneurship.

Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth are breaking up

Damn Clintons!

Mia Khalifa only made 12,000 dollars in her years in porn

So, she got screwed … and screwed.

Happy 89th Sean Connery

He’s spending it with your mother, Trebek.

Suspect arrested in murder of 24-year-old Russian Instagram influencer found stuffed in suitcase

Or, as it’s also known in Russia ‘natural causes.’

To what? “Give me your young, hot women from Eastern Europe longing to be a trophy wife…”

Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper holiday together as relationship speculation mounts

Oh, there’s some mounting going on, all right ….

Disney World just opened the NBA Experience

Or, as the Kardashians call it a ‘date night.’

Shell workers were told show up at Trump rally or don’t get paid

… As opposed to working for Trump, show up and never get paid.

Former Trump Press Secretary Sean Spencer’s going to appear on ‘Dancing with Stars’

Makes sense, he’s already a world class tap dancer!
