Thank you, Cosmas Indicopleustes, 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 contemplated having seven children at once, and we had to sit in a dark, quiet room until our uteri stopped spasming in terror.
Enjoy,

If I May Be Frank, He’s The Frank I Would Want To Be
So, President Bush and President Clinton are talking together in Toronto. Hunh. Toronto – that’s somewhere in…Tanzania, isn’t it? No – no, it’s okay, they’re not booing. They’re saying “moooooooooose meat.” Moose meat. Yeah. Apparently, that’s a delicacy in Toronto. Wherever it may be.
Anyhoo, the speaking engagement doesn’t seem to have been coordinated very well. Bush supporters are selling “Burnishing the Legacy Tour 2009” t-shirts. You know they went all out on them, too – gold trim and everything. Of course, the shirts sell for $10,000 apiece, $50,000 for a table of six. Clinton supporters, on the other hand, are selling “We’re only in it for the money 2009 Wherever Tour” t-shirts. Un hunh. And, you know they mean it, too. They’re so cheap they wouldn’t even pay somebody for an original slogan – they had to steal one from Frank Zappa.

The Network Can Stop Sending Me Lawyer’s Letters…Really…Any Time Now…
Executives at CTV have complained that my assessment last week that “third rate knock-offs of formulaic American TV series really shouldn’t be considered as fulfillment of Canadian content requirements” was too harsh. I stand corrected. What I should have written was: second rate knock-offs of formulaic American TV series really shouldn’t be considered as fulfillment of Canadian content requirements.

Miss, Leading
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi stated in a press conference that the CIA briefed her in 2002 that it was not using waterboarding, even though it had. She has essentially accused the CIA of lying to Congress. Lying to Congress! How dare she! Is it really credible that an organization known for disseminating false information throughout the world to further its ends would lie to Congress? I think not!
Public outrage at Pelosi is building to fever proportions. Here are just some of the comments that we have taken over the phone:
“Nancy Who?”
“Nancy Pilates? Does she have something to do with the government?”
“Yeah, Rush. I hate Nancy Pelosi with an undying passion that will survive the heat death of the universe. Remind me, again, of why?”
The people have spoken, Madame Speaker. It’s time for you to go!

The Hobgoblins Of Foolish Consistency Have Pitchforks
You’re probably wondering why, if the Tamil Tigers are a terrorist organization, we haven’t arrested all of the Tamil street protesters and thrown them in a deep, dark cell without charges. That’s a good question. The obvious answer is…umm…well, you see…if we – if we did that…we…err…
I hope that’s now clear.

History Repeats Itself: Once As Poetry And Once As Farce
For The Good of the Party Country
Nixon’s conscience was never wracked
When, illegally, he ordered Cambodia attacked
Rumours of civil liberties violations never did abate
And he was chased out of office because of Watergate
For prosecution of Nixon and his cronies, nobody was hungry
Best move on for the good of the country
Then came President Ronald Reagan
Who was all for violently invadin’
Countries in Latin America and
Funding it with money from arms sales to Iran
Charges of treason were too funky
Everybody knew he did it for the good of the country
George W. Bush preferred the frontal attack
So he directed his military at (innocent) Iraq
When the world and his view of it were in discord
He had some POWs put to the waterboard
You can avoid prosecuting all manner of thuggery
If those who did it claim it was for the good of the country
Those who think war and torture are great
Have no problem turning their country into a police state
Arguing that prosecution is a tool that is poor
Encourages them to do it more and more
And, you have to wonder who that’s really good for

That’s All Water Under The Board Now
LAMANCHUK: So, WLS-AM morning man Erich “Mancow” Muller agreed to be waterboarded.
ROVERSIDE: Why do they call him Mancow?
LAMANCHUK: I could speculate, but I’m sure the truth is more disgusting than anything I could come up with.
ROVERSIDE: And, that’s saying something, cause your taste runs to the disgusting.
LAMANCHUK: Case in point: what I’m imagining doing to you right now.
ROVERSIDE: I’m honoured.
LAMANCHUK: You’re something. Anyway, you know how long Mancow lasted?
ROVERSIDE: Six seconds.
LAMANCHUK: Have you been reading ahead in the script again?
ROVERSIDE: I heard it on Olbermann last night. (beat) Wait – we have a script?
LAMANCHUK: Pussy. Everybody knows waterboarding isn’t torture. If it had been me under the water, I could have lasted 10…11…maybe even 12 seconds.
ROVERSIDE: So, when are we going to do it?
LAMANCHUK: Do it?
ROVERSIDE: When will you be waterboarded?
LAMANCHUK: Are you insane? I’m just saying! I’m not actually going to go volunteer to be waterboarded! I’ve got an old football injury in my groin!
ROVERSIDE: Really? I didn’t know. I…I don’t get a script.
LAMANCHUK: If you’re so eager, why don’t you agree to have it done to you?
ROVERSIDE: Are you kidding? They would have to waterboard me just to convince me to let them waterboard me!
LAMANCHUCK: Wow, Dick. That was so stupid, it almost makes sense.
ROVERSIDE: Thank you.
