WASHINGTON — Members of the House of Representatives passed an increasingly rare bi-partisan bill that will set aside money to train struggling farmers in the midwest to write generation-defining emo songs, sources confirmed.

“Unfortunately, a lot of family farms are struggling to keep up in an ever-changing world. We need to help these hard-working Americans prepare for the future, that is why I introduced legislation that would provide Fender guitars and Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail Nano pedals, as well as eight weeks of guitar lessons to every midwestern farmer,” said Congresswoman Nikki Budzinski, a Democratic representative of the 13th district of Illinois. “We are hoping this will spark a second midwestern emo boom that will bring in more revenue from album sales, merch, and emo revival festivals with bands only playing songs they wrote 30 years ago.”

Dale Trubs, a 62-year-old soybean farmer in Dillsburg, Illinois, was excited about entering into the music business.

“I’ve been tending these feels for nearly five decades now. It’s honest work, but I’m ready for a change. To tell you the truth, I wasn’t sure about this emo music at first, but it’s not that different from some of the country tunes I love. It’s all about heartbreak, lost loves, and wishing you never got old,” said Trubs while trying on various sweaters. “I’ve got my old lady leaving angry voicemails on my phone as we speak. I’ll be able to use those in song intros once someone shows me how to check my messages. I just hope I can cut a demo in time to get a spot on one of the Warped Tour dates. That would be a dream come true.”

Vice President J.D. Vance, a native of Ohio, says he hopes President Trump vetoes the bill.

“Emo was a very popular genre of music when I was in high school, but it’s far from inclusive. I tried joining some emo club, I even brought some mix CDs with some of my favorite emo bands like Evanescence and Linkin Park, but the emo elite at my school laughed at me,” said the visibly angry Vice President. “And not a single person included me in their Myspace Top 8. There were times, and I’m not proud of this, when I would pay someone to include me, but they just took my money. So no, I don’t want the beautiful farmers of this country indoctrinated into a music scene that so violently mocked me even though I had the best scene makeup.”

At press time, the proposed bill passed after a giant tax cut for anyone making over $750,000 a year was added into the fine print.

I generally trust America's Finest News Source for their TTT reporting. (Timely, Topical, Accurate)

However, I recently read an article, 'Experts Recommend Using Hunger As Egg Substitute', which had a glaring and obvious piece of misinformation. In this news, they write "It’s also vegan, cost-effective, and much lower in cholesterol compared to a typical egg-based dish.". Although I will concede that it is significantly more cost-effective (in the short term) than other substitutes, as a Vegan, I CANNOT STAND for this blatant and utter untruth. The body digesting it's stomach lining in hope of scrounging nutrients that aren't there simply cannot be construed as being anything other than 'eating meat'. I will stick to eating eggs, thank you.

I had previously enjoyed articles such as 'Your Horoscope — Today’s Birthday', 'We're Under New Management, Effective Immediately', and 'Heartbreaking: The Worst Person You Know Just Made A Great Point'.

Despite these previously outstanding articles from them, I will NO LONGER be reading their 'news'paper due to this CRITICAL offense.

yes this is OC, yes I did actually send this to them as an email, no I don't hate vegans

(Washington, DC) As the current administration enters month three, an alarming trend of repetition using the words “outlandish, inane, or stupid” has swept through American journalism. Even satirical articles face an alarming trend of repetition using the words “outlandish, inane, or stupid.”

“It’s clear American media has run out of words to describe the policies of the trump presidency,” reports BBC in today’s news. “While everything coming out is alarming, or stupid, you can’t just say those words over and over… people tune out. It’s like trying to talk to fish about water.”

This conundrum has led some journalists to consult lexicons for more superfluous verbiage. But the use of synonyms has been found to drive off American readers, who often read at a middle school level.

“I ain’t never seen a lexicon,” said Leon Sturbgetter, a cow detangler from rural Oklahoma, “although I do remember it’s Saint Patrick’s Day.”
