In a tongue-in-cheek news headline (yes, there’s just the headline and a brief excerpt – the actual news report is missing), CNet’s News.com posts “President Bush signs measure decreeing that Microsoft’s operating system is so complex it poses a national security threat”.

With several other interesting headlines that don’t seem to be outside the realm of possibility, but obiviously aren’t true. For instance, Larry Ellision suing Forbes magazine for not being included in the top 10 of Forbes’ billionaires list.
