Headlines Du Jour ► Saturday, December 21, 2013

There’s been some trouble in News Land. Lately the Not Now Silly interns have been agitating for a livable salary. At the very least they want the minimum wage. But, why should I start paying them anything now? After I sent back into the innertubes to collect today’s Headlines Du Jour, I changed all the locks and moved offices. That’ll teach them. In the meantime there are now several openings for interns at Not Now Silly. Apply within. And now the news:

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.

Yet, the headlines keep coming, which is why Headlines Du Jour keeps coming.
