Welcome to Madlib News! This is Week 2 of a brand new concept, playing with news-ish stuff by adding madlibs... I was fond of playing with madlibs when I was a boy, although I enjoyed it most when I stretched the rules and wrote outlandish things instead of mundane... Madlib News idea is a wee newborn, born on STEEMIT, and getting stronger every day... Here is the link to Madlib News - Week 1, to get an idea of how it went... Also, Week 1 is still open, so go take part in the inception of it all!!

The rules are pretty simple: Copy the news story below and paste it into a comment... Change the words inside parentheses, knowing there is no right or wrong answer... Try to flow and make sense, though... I find putting my added words into ALL CAPS help others to know what I created... But all partakers can set their own style, if they wish...
All participants (not folks who say NICE POST) will be awarded an even portion of the payout... Anyone who can help explain to me, how to do that, it'd be so nice... Regardless, I am more into the creative aspect here, so I am excited to be generous if it helps others to dive in... I can speak from my own vast experience as a creator, NOTHING IS EVER WASTED! I could do a whole philosophy on the zen-style clearing of the mind, if only to be ready for the next thought that we never had before... That is my secret, that is my superpower... Now you are blessed/cursed with that awareness too!
With that said, let's begin the second installment of Madlib News... Sharpen that wit and get your fingers thinking!
