Headlines Du Jour ► Wednesday, December 11, 2013

The daily collecting of Headlines Du Jour is a tricky thing. Not Now Silly sends its interns and parolees out into the innertubes, each provisioned with scissors and a wicker basket. They carefully cut out the headlines and place them respectfully into the basket. Only when their basket is full are they allowed to return for food and water. Now that we’ve cleared that up, let’s get right to today’s Headlines Du Jour.
