The Daily Me – Respectiev Libidos

Thank you, Respectiev Libidos, for signing up for The Daily Me. Our search engine has combed the Internet for up to the minute news items that fit the profile you have so painstakingly filled out for us. Then, we weighted the probability that you would be interested in these articles against forms which showed what people with tastes similar to yours have liked reading in the past. Then, we realized that we have no Respectiev for people who cannot even spell their own names properly, so we secretly peed on the server that sends out our email. It was just like being back in that awful hash house on I90, serving indifferent burgers to lukewarm customers. Thanks for the reminder, asshole. We’re going to go pee on the servers again…

Enjoy,

I Dreamt I Fucked Michael Snow’s Walking Woman

I dreamt I fucked Michael Snow’s Walking Woman.
She didn’t have any hands,
But that was okay;
I would happily pick up after her –
Or before her,
Or in any other direction she might need.
True, she didn’t have any feet,
But it wasn’t like we were going anywhere,
And, anyway, that’s why god created wheelchairs.
Okay, her head was a little freaky,
With its bulge in the back,
Like a silhouette of John Merrick,
And the top shorn off,
Like a victim in a Hannibal Lecter wet dream.
Still, nobody’s perfect.

I dreamt I fucked Michael Snow’s Walking Woman.
It was dreamy.

It Should Try Putting Its Head Between Its Legs And Holding Its Hands Over Its Ears Until The Noise Stops

Industry Minister Jim Prentice declared that Liberal leader Stephane Dion “has a spending problem.” His party claims that Liberal spending promises would plunge Canada into a deficit and add $62.5 billion to the national debt. They have conveniently forgotten that it was the Liberals who worked off a debt that they had created, and that their tax cuts and increased military spending have shrunk the $14 billion surplus the Liberals left them with to practically nothing.

The Absurd Ironyometer takes a Gravol to try and stop its head from spinning.

Goniff In Sixty Seconds

Jerome Kerviel, junior trader at France's second largest bank, Societe Generale, lost more than $7 billion dollars. Makes you wonder how much the senior traders lost…

After being arrested for fraud, Kerviel insisted that managers at the Societe Generale were aware of the bad trades that he had made, and willing to look the other way as long as he appeared to be making money, but they deny that this was the case. Plausible deniability – not just for politicians any more.

Democracy Is Too Important To Be Left To Citizens

“If you put things in an electoral context, then parties have to find ways to differentiate themselves from other parties. It’s about giving the electorate a choice.” - John Manley, explaining why the Afghan War should not be an election issue

 “The Conservatives and Liberals seem to be finding common ground on Afghanistan. Recognizing that the mission there is too important to be treated as a political football, they have made gestures of compromise.” - the Globe and Mail, explaining why the Afghan War should not be a political issue

You Don’t Want To Challenge Her To A Game Of Darts!

Some Democrats are surprised (shocked and appalled would also be appropriate descriptors) that Hillary Clinton intends to claim delegates from Florida and Michigan. Although she harvested a large number of votes in those states, the Democratic National Committee had previously ruled that they would be ineligible to have delegates because they held early primaries in violation of party rules. Because of this, her opponent Barack Obama didn’t campaign in those states, and wasn’t even on the ballot in Michigan.

This should come as no surprise to people who have watched Clinton over the years. It is well known that she demands to be given extra trumps when playing bridge, and she has been known to insist that the value of the properties be reversed when playing Monopoly with her family.

Where Is George M. Koan When The Country Needs Him?

The Prime Minister and a Parliamentary Secretary were walking down a deserted six lane highway. “Prime Minister,” the Parliamentary Secretary asked, “what is the proper role of a middling power in the world?”

The Prime Minister had long thought about this, so he had a ready answer, but he paused to appear thoughtful: “The only way a country has to make its voice felt in the world is through military force. No other country will take you seriously if you can’t kill a lot of innocent civilians in a foreign land.”

The Parliamentary Secretary was about to say something about soft power when an Abrams tank sped past, crushing the Prime Minister under its treads. As he watched the tank retreat into the distance, the Parliamentary Secretary could make out an American flag and a bumper sticker that read: “This vehicle stops for Congressional dithering,” and he marveled at the Prime Minister’s wisdom!
