Need help with a project

[ifluff.livejournal.com]

I’m doing a project for college where we’re meant to do something to show the everyday life of a character, and I plan to do a short comic about America’s life in the Hetalia world. So, could anyone link me to some articles that are about past US news and events and to do with America and the other nations? I say in the past because I don’t want to do anything recent because of some sensitive subjects, like with Libya and Japan for example. I would prefer if the articles were of something that I could turn into light hearted humour.

Mods, if this isn’t allowed then feel free to delete and I’ll ask somewhere else instead.
