News Headline Add-Ons
One of the things I like to do to hone my sense of humor is to take news headlines, and attach a phrase or sentence at the end to make them funny. My source: CNN.com, with actual headline text underlined.
Condit: 'Never had any cross words' with Chandra other than, 'I'm gonna kill you!' What's at stake in House and Senate: they run out of meatloaf surprise in the cafeteria LIVE: Clinton campaigns for Manchin. DEAD: Clinton campaigns for Grover Cleveland Cargo bomb plot: Latest developments: Ka-BOOOOOM!!!! After nasty races, voters get last word. Hint: It has four letters. Key decisions for Congress: Where to park once they are kicked out of office. Hikers held in Iran can talk to moms once their moms can be kidnapped. Minister curses couple at wedding: I now pronounce you ******* and *****. You may now kiss the *****. 'Grey's' boss vetoes 'brutal' plot by punching the writers in the face Hot plant may boost gals' libidos, but they still won't have sex with me. This Just In: CNN's news blog. This Just Out: Helen Thomas' Myspace Page Feel free to share your own! Last edited by davidlhsl; November 1st, 2010 at 05:39 PM. |

Brother, Can You Spare a Dime: Man Begs to Obama. So the President flips him a quarter and drives away laughing. Unemployment Offices to Add Armed Guards, so at least somebody is hiring in this crappy economy. DoJ sends election observer to AZ polls to see who McCain will vote for. STUDY: Alcohol more lethal than heroin or CRACK or BOOZE!!! Student suspended for riding horse to school. Principal: "Screw you and the horse you rode in on." Dems hope to limit losses in campaign's last hours by calling off the election. TINA BROWN: Obama's Morning-After Plan: Waffles with maple syrup and two strips of bacon Brazil elects ex-guerrilla as president... correction: ex-gorilla POLL: Conn. governor's race too close to call, so the election will have to proceed as scheduled. Crowd 'streams out' as veep drones on and on and on and on and WRAP IT UP, ALREADY!!! |

Re: News Headline Add-Ons
Thanks! This might be a good thing to do weekly rather than daily, as the same news items tend to appear repeatedly in a short time period.

Re: News Headline Add-Ons
I guess I should do a special post-election version (various sources, but mostly CNN:
Looking at an 'earthquake election' is better than looking at a naked Lindsey Lohan. GOP soars to historic victories, falls short in Senate, and eats through an entire White Castle Crave Case. Reid: 'We must work together' if we ever want to finish this New York Times crossword puzzle. Will economy save Obama? Or will he have to stand in the unemployment line like the rest of us? Your photos / Winners and losers. If we publish your photo, you're a loser. Gridlock in America... alternate route: Highway 55. Harry Hangs On... Angle Falls to Senate Leader. Man, I wish they'd sober up. Politics: A Centrist Democratic Agenda: More Jobs, Less Corruption replaces old agenda: Tastes Great, Less Filling. Obama blow-up sex doll for sale in China: This one was from The Drudge Report. Nah, this one's too easy. |

Re: News Headline Add-Ons
These are great! The one with the suspended student, and Democrats hoping to limit losses were just pure gold! I'm really looking forward to the next batch.
