U.S. Cancels Regular Drone Strikes on Saturdays

[sage]

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Citing budgetary concerns, the United States announced today that it would discontinue regular Saturday drone strikes on U.S. citizens, beginning in 2014.

In announcing the decision, the White House spokesman Jay Carney acknowledged that the cutback in drone service was “bound to be controversial.” “In the United States, we’ve always prided ourselves on our ability to target our citizens with drone strikes, Monday through Saturday, regardless of the weather,” he said. “We know that losing Saturday drone service is going to take some getting used to.”

Of course, the REAL reason is that the people's drone target recommendation site, InstaDrone, crashed; seems they found Carney's name & those of some of his associates on it.
