Much Can Be Said In Three Lines

Novel #1: No Place for Palin
"Alaskans saw a meaner Sarah Palin." "She can sort of redeem herself by going back to where she was." "To many Alaskans, that's not what they wanted." 

The Seattle Times, "A changed Palin returns to a changed Alaska A7

Novel #2: Changing Times: Get on Board Already, America
New ban on gay marriage. Turmoil and legal confusion over who should have the right to wed. I just don't know. 

The Seattle Times "Hundreds Protest Gay-Marriage Ban" A4

Novel #3: Say What, P.I.?
Illegal sex for hire. Provide a working phone number and pay a fee using a valid credit card. pimps and prostitutes. 

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer "Craigslist Sex Ads Reined In" A13

And one more for good measure (and because it's fun!)

Novel #4: The Over-dramatization of Football

Shadows crept across the field. They knew too well the task ahead of them. "There's nothing else right now that matters"

The New York Times "A Record Rout, But Little Time To Enjoy It"

Hands down the most fun I've had blogging this quarter. I would attribute this to the fact that I didn't have to actually come up with any of my own ideas, or original thought. I was able to just simply arrange the sentence structure of others' musings, in hopes of creating a satirical look at the news. 

My novels are definitely shorter in length. All news should be done in three lines. It would save time. "Palin heads home. Gay Marriage Made Illegal...again. Predators on Craigslist. Jets Won." That's basically the gyst of it. Now you don't have to read the Newspaper this Sunday. You're welcome.
