Broken News For Friday, November 5th, 2015

Hi there! Welcome to I'm So Glad My Suffering Amuses You. I'm Dave-El and as far as I know, George H. W. Bush hasn't said anything bad about me. 


Today I'm posting a special return engagement of....Broken News!  


Broken News is my semi-occasional post for news satire. Remember, satire is a form of comedy that if you don't think it's funny, well, you're just not trying hard enough. 


Broken News is brought to you by Olive Garden. When you're here, you're family. 

Enjoy our Parmesan encrusted garlic flavored bread sticks.

 




OK, let's get moving with some headlines!

Maybe George W's not really that close to his dad but I think we can all agree that he knows Dick.

Strangely enough, it's just a copy of the Netflix User Agreement. 


"Hello, my fellow Americans. Just a reminder
that I'm...still here if you...you know, need anything.
Maybe I can help with the laundry
or...uh....watch your kids."

It's for highways enclosed in tubes so bankers don't have to drive next to poor people.

Here's an experiment: we cut off a Congressman from that sweet lobbyist money and see how long he can survive.


Broken News is brought to you by Olive Garden. When you're here, you're family and we want to know when you're going to have kids already! 


Wildlife Group Says Not To Rake Leaves, As If You Needed A Reason
Letting the leaves stay on the ground would help hide the shallow grave in my backyard.


But perhaps I've said too much. 


Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders wait patiently while
whoever that guy is keeps talking about something
or another.

They're special bathrooms for transgender people. 
(Going to Egypt is a long trip just to pee.) 


Carson On Trans People In Bathrooms: They 'Make Everybody Else Uncomfortable'
As far as I'm concerned, anybody else in a bathroom makes me uncomfortable. You know what makes me really uncomfortable? Ben Carson in my bathroom. Doesn't he kind of remind you of zombie but without the skin condition? 


'The View' Slams Ben Carson: 'Who's His Science Advisor, Nicolas Cage?'
Dressed in a white coat in his secret lab, Nicolas Cage angrily smashes a beaker on the floor, once more his deep, abiding love of science has been mocked. 


Broken News is brought to you by Olive Garden. When you're here, you're family so get your asses in the kitchen and clean some dishes, you lazy bastards.

Freedom Caucus 'Rebels' Back Big Bank Giveaway
Yes, the Freedom Caucus is about freedom for everybody and...no, not so fast, poor people. 



And that's that for this edition of Broken News!

Broken News has been brought to you by Olive Garden. When you're here, you're family but don't expect us to lend you money. 





Broken News is a production of I'm So Glad My Suffering Amuses You Entertainment, Dave-El Productions and a horrible, horrible pact with Satan that we just didn't think through. 


If you have any complaints about this edition of Broken News, please bring them to the attention of our complaint department.  




















Thanks for dropping by. Coming up this weekend is a double dose of Doctor Who posts including Sunday's review of The Zygon Inversion, this week's new Doctor Who episode.
