Thank you, Eustace P. Duckamok, 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, we heard the song "McArthur Park" and wondered what the big whup was. If you've lost the recipe to the cake that you left out in the rain, just go onto teh interwebz and find it again Or, find a version of the one you like that's even better. Or, stop being so set in your ways and try and find a new one to love. Honestly, old people!
Enjoy,A Manchin Is Not A Home
Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell is courting Democratic Senator Joe Manchin (which is exactly as icky as it sounds). Why would McConnell believe that Manchin is open to the possibility of joining the Republicans? Just compare Manchin's record on Build Back Better or electoral reform to that of the average Republican:
| Joe Manchin | Republican | |
| Out of touch with people they're supposed to represent | | |
| Claims people will misuse social safety net spending to buy drugs | | |
| Cites personal slights while claiming to act on principal | | |
| Shifting position on a matter of national urgency | | |
| Willing to go against policy they initially supported when expedient | | |
| Ignores personal profit while claiming to act on principal | | |
| Makes definitive policy statement on Fox News | | |
| Supports legislation that benefits majority of constituents | | |
| Beholden to major campaign donors | | |
Hmm. The conclusion is clear: the Democrats have to continue to negotiate with Manchin in the hope that he is bargaining in good faith and that something can be worked out. Somehow.

Only The Steps That Would Save Lives
According to right wing politicians, Covid went from being a hoax to being something that everybody will just have to get used in their day-to-day lives. Am I missing something, or did they skip a step or two?

Don't Make Assumptions About Me: Headlines Are Always In Bold Faced Type
If you're a Republican politician tethered, however weakly, to reality, you really only have two courses of action: miserably mumble the talking points prepared by right wing think tanks and echoed by right wing media to support whatever position former President Donald Trump is taking this morning; or proudly proclaim the talking points prepared by right wing think tanks and echoed by right wing media to support whatever position former President Donald Trump is taking this afternoon.
Republican Senator Ron Johnson is somebody who enthusiastically cannonballs into the deep end of the pool, unconcerned that it is filled with toxic swamp water. (That's the second option for the connection-impaired among you.)
Let me be clear: mouthwash will protect you against COVID about as well as a tissue paper shirt will protect you against a bullet. To avoid the right wing arguing that a tissue paper shirt will protect you against a bullet, let me be even more clear: not at all! Mouthwash will give you absolutely no protection against the coronavirus!
But, that's always the way, isn't it? When you try to talk sense to somebody who lives in the Basket of Deplorables, you end up speaking in bold faced type!

Clue? More Like Clueless!
UK negotiators have repeated a threat to unilaterally suspend parts of the Brexit settlement with the European Union if the issue of Northern Ireland isn't resolved to its satisfaction. The EU shrugged; England's economy would suffer much worse if it reneged on its settlement obligations.
The EU is playing three-dimensional chess. What game is the UK playing? Scrabble? Clue? Go Fish? All three at once? We would say that this is going to end badly, but there appears to be no end in sight. It is unfortunate that "drag on interminably badly" is not a common idiom.
