Ripping the Headlines Today, 6/13/18

Congratulations to HumorOutcasts’ very own Paul Lander on receiving his second National Society of Newspaper Columnists award for his ‘Ripping the Headlines’ column. Here’s what the judges had to say, and, we agree: Lander’s got a great bead on the national political scene with his “Ripping the Headlines” column. Some really good riffs on Trump & Co. — and every other hiccup on the national scene. Quick and clever reads. Follow Paul on Twitter and see all the fun there too.

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:
