  1. Links to news stories from...
  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.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Okay, now it's Nineteen Eighty-Four. With hints of Minority Report, Fahrenheit 451, Brazil, and our old friend Idiocracy, of course.

President Camacho cared about his people, recognized problems, and deferred to the knowledge of people he openly admitted were smarter than him to fix them.

I would much prefer a Camacho over a Trump right about now.

So, Terry Crews for president?

He does seem like a good dude, but I'm not sure he even wants the job.
