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:

National Board of Review named ‘The Irishman’ best film of the year

…and, given its length, part of next year’s, too…

On the upside, they did get into USC.

Although, she was going to run on the slogan: “A chicken in every pot, and a Subaru in every garage.”

I don’t believe her!

… damn, that’s a lot of happy Chinese!

Can’t wait for your reality TV show: ‘Unfrozen.’

The cost is $1500, so it’s really called a flip phone because that’s what people are doing when they hear the price.

… So, Maya Rudolph will have more time to spend with family…

… especially because it was planned for Chuck E Cheese.

And, announced his new single ‘Bringing Sleeping on the Sofa Back.’

Fox News host says unlike Biden, Trump doesn’t take insults “personally” and isn’t “combative”

C’mon, an actual orange has a thicker skin than Trump.

Is that table rising or is Hef just happy to see us?

Cyber Monday biggest online shopping day in US history

Luckily, now we can all go back to using the internet for what it’s was intended…. crazy cat videos and porn!
