This election has been ridiculous by all accounts, and it has been more tense than any election I have been alive to experience. Instead of all of the hype with the election being on the 8th, let's take a look back through some of the funniest headlines I have ever seen.

None of these are from the Onion or any other satirical websites. Check for the link to each article below.

Now we all know that the internet thinks Ted Cruz is the Zodiac Killer, but what about an alien? Who else would by 100 cans of soup except a being that hasn't grasped our way of life? Apparently, Ted Cruz did.

Nope. Guess he's the Zodiac Killer. Thanks, Florida.

I'm not sure how Hitler got brought into line with Jeb Bush, but here we go. Doctor Who already shows us how this works out, Jeb. Let's leave this one alone.

Can we please leave Pepe out of this? He didn't do anything to you. Though Hillary's website says differently.

Google, this is not policy. The fact that Deez Nuts ran for president at all is the best thing about this election cycle.

On a more positive note, Hillary might be looking for a girlfriend, ladies! Better take a look.


Come on then, Hulk Hogan. We've seen weird this election season. You would be better than Mike Pence.


And here I thought we were bigger than these sort of jokes.

Now I'm a Bernie supporter myself, but this is a bit much. At least they both looked sharp for the big night.

If you were interested in keeping Bernie with you all the time though, I think this is a far better option. Might be a little awkward to explain to your significant other..


I hope you're doing alright, Pope Francis. Don't let him scare you too much!

I'm lucky to remember my own parents' birthdays. Oops..

To save the day, a giant meteor! They had to clarify that this was not the Onion because almost 25% of us millennials would prefer a meteor strike to either of our big choices.

This one isn't quite from the election, but I couldn't resist. I hope I don't have toupee the price.


We all need ponies, after all. And time travel research, zombie preparedness, and mandatory tooth brushing laws. That's his platform anyways. #VerminSupreme2016


Now I know this is only fifteen headlines, but there's so many more. The Week has a list of 95 headlines they've published about Donald Trump in the last year alone that will give everyone a giggle.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
