Thank you, Wesson Wigfall, 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. And, then, while we appreciate how consequential American politics can seem, we were wondering if you maybe wanted a little news about Canadian politics because, you know, there's a federal election going on, and some people think it's kind of a big deal.
No, no, don't let your eyes glaze over! Protesters are throwing gravel at Liberal leader Justin Trudeau at his campaign rallies! We know there is a long tradition of dishing dirt at your opponent during elections, but we always thought that was just a metaphor! Meanwhile, Conservative leader Erin O'Toole is making pronouncements in the media that contradict his party's platform; will he ever be called on his Dr. Jekyll and Mister Run and Hyde personality? And, what about New Democratic Party leader Jagmeet Singh? He's so...nice. What the hell is he doing in politics? And, we're pretty sure that the Green Party has a leader, although we can't recall her name at the moment...or what she stands for...or even if she is a she...
Okay. We see your point. Still, couldn't you at least pretend to have an interest in Canadian politics? Our leaders are trying so hard to get your attention...
Enjoy,

Telecom Companies Heading Into Baby's Breath Force Winds
Threatening to bring the full force of the law down on any telecommunications company that complies with the Congressional 1/6 committee's request to preserve records of messages between Republicans didn't seem to have the effect House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy wanted. The companies shrugged and said, "Oh, that's just Kevin being Kevin. Now that he's vented, the adults in the room can turn our attention to more pressing concerns..."
Clearly, another tactic was called for.
Now, senior Republicans are saying that if the committee subpoenas the phone records that they have asked be preserved, the Republicans will subpoena the phone records of senior Democrats the next time they are in power.
"He's about three and half years behind the times," said Adam Schiff, who was one of several Democrats whose phone records were handed over to the Trump administration in 2018 on the pretext of an investigation into White House leaks. "If McCarthy is serious about being the next Speaker of the House, he really needs to work on the selectiveness of his memory!"

Fortunately, The Respective Studios Will Never Let A Crossover Of Those Franchises Happen
Apple and Microsoft will open training academies in Saudi Arabia. This will help the oil (and blood) drenched kingdom position itself as a Middle East hub for technology and innovation.
"It...it's like evil empires hooking up for a night of - I shudder to think what!" marvelled tech journalist Kevin Kelly. "It's like Darth Vader, Freddy Krueger and the xenomorph from the Alien movies had a menage a trois. I dread seeing what the children of that tryst look like!"

COUNTDOWN TO DICTATORSHIP: 10) What is a shadow docket?
9) How is the Supreme Court's shadow docket different from the Star Chamber?
8) Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote a blistering attack on the majority's decision to use the shadow docket to let Texas' draconian anti-abortion law go unchallenged. How likely is this to deter the extremist right wing justices on the Supreme Court from using it again?

It's Hard To Play Chess When You're Playing Drums, But Sometimes You Can Use That To Your Advantage
Ron Bushy, long-time drummer for Iron Butterfly, has died at the age of 79. Death had actually planned to claim him at the age of 76, but he kept begging for one more minute to continue performing a solo.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has vowed to eliminate rape from his state. When he has successfully completed that trifle, he will move on to convincing every gun owner in the state not to use their weapons to kill anybody. Easy peasy. Once that happens, he will convince CO2 in the atmosphere to stop blocking the sun's rays, solving the problem of global climate change.
Governor Abbott is ambitious. Or, he is deplorable. It's not that the line between the two is fine; in fact, it is big and red and is clearly marked on the land, not just on maps. The fact is that which side of the line he falls on depends upon which side of the line the observer falls on (perversely, people tend to place him on the opposite side to themselves).
Making the challenge the teensiest bit more challenging is the fact that Texas had the most rapes of any state in the country. But, it wouldn't be worth doing if it was easy, right?
Peasy. Right.
This vow was taken in response to criticism that Texas' anti-abortion law has no exception for victims of rape or incest. Texas Republicans really know how to put the drastic back in draconian. Or, is it Dracula?
In the basket of deplorables, there are phantom fine lines wherever you turn.
