Headlines Du Jour ► Thursday, December 5, 2013

When newspapers are outlawed, only outlaws will read newspapers. If truth be told, I haven’t read a newspaper in years and there was a time in my life, while working at Citytv, I was at my desk at 4AM and by 5AM had 3 or 4 newspapers read already. Yet, the headlines keep coming, which is why Headlines Du Jour keeps coming.
