    LONDON — Authorities warned British citizens of widespread reports of a dangerous man loose on the streets, threatening to share an opinion. According to an official bulletin, the recently released Graham Linehan represented an urgent threat to public order, as he had not only come up with an idea not conforming to politically acceptable ideology all on his own, but also threatened to spread this idea by engaging others in reasonable civil discourse. "The suspect is about medium height, brown-haired, and radically free-thinking," the official police bulletin read. "Linehan, who we believe may be armed with a bullhorn or possibly...

    WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a statement from the Oval Office, President Trump stubbornly refused to admit that he died this past weekend. Journalists pressed the President as to why he would not simply admit that he is dead, but to no avail. "You are obviously dead, Mr. President. Why will you not level with the American people?" asked Kaitlin Collins of CBS News. "Excuse me, but can a ghost shoot three under par on the back nine like I did on Saturday? No way, not any ghosts that I know," responded President Trump. "They can't even hold a club...
