Headlines Du Jour ► Saturday, January 11, 2014

, , , , , , , , , , , , ,

People have been curious about the process of curating Headlines Du Jour, which surprises me because I didn’t think people would be that interested. However, since you asked:

When my headline-collecting robot drones return from a night of headline collecting, they are loaded down with headlines from every genre. Then the culling begins. The first thing I do is throw out all the sports headlines. Then older headlines are discarded. Next, I toss out any headline you can find elsewhere. My readers don’t come here to find what they can get elsewhere; they come here for the headlines they won’t get anywhere else. Which brings us to today’s Headlines Du Jour.

his food but tells poor kids to work for theirs

Guess what day it is? That’s right! It’s the anniversary of when the last person was executed for blasphemy in Britain. Meanwhile, I’ve grown suspicious of my headline collecting robot drones.

What makes a headline good enough for Headlines Du Jour? The biggest criteria is that it has to be interesting to me. I figure it’ll also interest at least one of my readers. Being funny, or absurd doesn’t hurt, either. However, more than anything else it has to be attractive to my robot drones, which do all my headline picking now. Let’s get right to today’s Headlines Du Jour.
