Congress did something (annoying, short-sighted, both) (late into the night, before taking the afternoon off to drink scotch and pee on pedestrians from double-decker buses). (One party) says (the other party) is (some phrase that you pull out of a sack of partisan hackery). (Say something else that leaves you wanting to throw feces at the radio).
There's trouble in (a foreign place besides Iraq), as their (political structure, social structure) is threatened by (warlords, high hemlines).
There's something dangerous that you (may, may not) have considered dangerous befeore.
A new drug promises to solve (a frivolous but chronic problem that's not really a serious health issue, or a serious health issue but never say anything about it again since genuine health reporting doesn't exist - all people want to hear about the hottest pharmaceuticals!!!).
The stock market is (up, down) (a number but not a percentage point, because that's actually the way people with some understanding would discuss this, but normal people must not 'get' percentages since most places only use points which have very little meaning).
Local traffic: 520 is backed up, I-90 is a (better/worse) choice (ignore the fact that few people have a "choice" in which bridge they take), I-5 and 99 south into Seattle is backed up and the express lanes are a better choice, 405 in either direction sucks, 167 into Renton sucks. There is an accident somewhere and people are gawking at it.
Weather: doesn't matter. It's probably wrong anyway.
