  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Sounds like he wants to renovate his retirement home.

Nah he fell asleep watching The Rock, that’s more his style.

I genuinely want somebody who thinks this is a good idea to explain to me why this is better than building a new maximum security prison on the mainland.
