Thank you, mu opioid taylor, 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. As it happens, we only agitate squids when we’ve run out of toner in the office printer. But, really, it’s not like you can milk them or anything!

When Is Paul McCartney Going To Sue For Butchering Without A Licence?

So, Prime Minister Stephen Harper pounded the ivories (he’s not subtle enough to tickle them) the other day, playing the Beatles’ “With a Little Help From My Friends.” Within 24 hours, just about every other Beatles song was referenced in headlines and articles about the event. Of the over 200 songs credited to the Beatles, the only one that doesn’t appear to have been referenced – the only one I can base my own response on and still claim to be original – was “Revolution 9.”

WHAT THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH “REVOLUTION 9?” It isn’t even really a Beatles song – it’s a Yoko Ono vanity project masquerading as a Beatles song! Don’t get me wrong – I like Fluxus as much as the next Philistine. It’s just that performance art has its place, AND ITS PLACE IS NOT ON A BEATLES ALBUM!

I can’t really blame this on the Prime Minister – there are too many “clever” people in Canadian journalism – but I’ll find a way. Oh, I’ll find a way.

And, Fox Is The Anus

NOAM CHOMSKY: Let’s be honest: a lot of shit is being said by politicians. I don’t know which is scarier: the shit being said by those who know better or the shit being said by those who don’t. Either way, the shit is quickly distributed by a partisan and compliant media.

WELLINGTON: So, you’re saying that the media are the digestive tract of the American body politic?

CHOMSKY: Uhh…yes, I suppose I am…

Silvio Needs To Get Himself On That Court

A top Italian court began deliberating over whether a law granting Premier Silvio Berlusconi and other top officials immunity from prosecution is constitutional. “This law is necessary,” Berlusconi argued, “to ensure that criminal cases aren’t brought for political reasons.”

When it was pointed out that Berlusconi was the principal in two criminal trials before he had strong-armed the law into existence, Berlusconi responded, “Exactly! And, if those trials are allowed to reach a conclusion, my career as a politician would be over! It doesn’t get any more political than that!”

Rush Crawls Out On A Limbaugh

Rush Limbaugh recently compared himself to the Taliban. How are they similar? Oh, let us count the ways:

Limbaugh Taliban
Disapprove of Obama Nobel Peace Prize
Want Obama to fail
Never been elected to public office
Hostile to women
Convinced of their infallible correctness
Live in a world only tangential to reality
Intolerant of dissent
Have been hooked on drugs

Actually, The Swedes HAVE Waited A Long Time – Nobel Prizes Are Awarded In Norway


“Obama could turn it down on the grounds that not all his peace plans have come to fruition yet, but why should he? And the Swedes could have waited a year on the same grounds, but why should they?”

And The Lord Lookethed Upon Conservapedia, And It Was Right

THE BOOK OF REVISIONS
Chapter One, Verse One

And, the Lord spake to the prophet (self-proclaimed) Andrew Schlafly. And, when the Lord spake, the Lord didst say, “Andrew, old bean, I am much vexed by current interpretations of the Words of my Son.”

And, the prophet (which just goes to show thee how lowly the vocation of propheting had becometh) Andrew Schlafly, the better to sucketh up to the Divine One, didst respond, “What vexeth thee, oh Lord?”

And, the Lord spoketh further, which further spokething went something like: “The believers have it all wrong. They’ve turned my Son into a simpering, socialist cretin. I need somebody to use Conservapedia to show them the One True Conservative Free Market Anti-Communist God.”

To which the prophet (really, is this the best the human race can come up with?) Andrew Schlafly responded with a hearty, “Alllllll riiiiiiight!” By which he meant, “Amen.”
