Headlines Du Jour ► Thursday, January 23, 2014

It’s been a very long night of headline-collecting, now that I am back to doing the job myself. I fired all my interns when they asked for a raise. Then the headline-collecting robot drones I outfitted, left my employ when they became self-aware. 

I’m going back to interns, as soon as I can find some naive enough to believe my promises. Meanwhile, here’s today’s Headlines Du Jour.
