Right Angles, Natural Disaster Correspondent, Reporting From Houston!

Dateline: Houston, Texas

I mean let’s get our priorities straight here. Am I right?

On the ground at the White House, CNN’s I.M. Amoron reported: “Melania Trump just boarded the plane in stiletto heels. One has to wonder what she was thinking when she got dressed this morning.

I mean it was a real honker. But all my life, I’d identified as Rob Lowe. I confessed this to my C.O. and was able to put in for a nose job paid for by the military. Now I can live the life I was always meant to live. The life of a handsome man with a small nose. Thanks, Military!”

Add Private Schnozzola to the legions of heretofore unhappy soldiers who were women trapped in a man’s body but who now, thanks to the U.S. Military, can … Continue reading
