    [post_content] => Making fun of the headlines today, so you don’t have to
The news, even that about Kim Kardashian's vacation destination, 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:

[caption id="attachment_97943" align="aligncenter" width="750"] Kanye West, master of disguise, could be stalking your vacation destination![/caption]
Kim Kardashian reportedly changed vacation destination because Kanye West planned to show up
Careful, Kim, Kanye is a master of disguise.
Mike Pence’s staff is giving up the goods to the Jan. 6 Committee
Oh, to be a fly on someone’s head during those depositions.
The Doomsday Clock has been set to 100 seconds
130 for Keith Richards....

Damn, I thought New Jersey was the ‘Olive Garden State.’
Louie Anderson, Meat Loaf die on the same day
Word is, Louie died when he heard there was no more Meatloaf. RIP.
In Greece, unvaccinated people ages 60 and up now face monthly fines
… so, basically the cast parties for ‘Mama Mia 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9.’
Steve Harvey reacts to steamy pic of daughter Lori with Michael B. Jordan: I'm 'Very Uncomfortable'
On the plus side for Steve, that was the number 1 answer!
Chiefs' Willie Gay arrested after allegedly breaking vacuum in argument w/ woman
No word if he'll be suspended for being Anti-vacs.
Pete Davidson says he isn’t hosting Oscars
This year he’s more focused on Golden Globes.
Novak Djokovic lied on his Aussie paperwork
… if that’s even his real name!
Newly minted Maya Angelou quarters begin rolling out
Nice that Maya Angelou is on her own quarter, but Black women will still need four of them to make 63 cents in pay.
90 Day Fiancé star who made £38,000 a week selling farts in a jar
Well, that’s one way of taking advantage of the high price of gas.
