Thank you, Paolo Renminbi, 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. Okay, this is how bad it gets. Some time next week, the temperature will hit two degrees and we’re thrilled because this is the first time it’s been positive in a month. Winter is the hemorrhoids of seasons.
Enjoy,

If You Can’t Play Nice With The Other Children, We’ll Take Away Your Tax Cuts
House Republicans have voted unanimously against the Democratic stimulus package, saying that they know a better way of helping the ailing American economy. Sure. Sure, they do. And, they’ll tell us exactly what it is…after we put them back in charge of the country.
Why am I not reassured?
In response to Republican intransigence, the Democrats have removed all concessions to them that had originally been part of the stimulus package. Tax cuts now represent .00023 per cent of proposed stimulus spending. “Well, that’s not very bipartisan, is it?” Minority House Leader John Boehner commented. When it was pointed out to him that unanimously voting against the President’s stimulus package wasn’t exactly a friendly act, Boehner retorted, “Yeah, but we never promised we were going to be bipartisan!”

If They Wanted Your Respect, They Wouldn’t Have Bankrupted The Country
You know, just once I’d like to hear a Republican tell the truth.
“Oh, yeah. We’ve been trying to kill the New Deal for decades. We hate it with a passion that, in any other circumstances, we would probably find unseemly. Of course, we couldn’t just come out and say this – none of us would’ve have been elected dogcatcher if we had. But, the destruction of the social safety net? The elimination of consumer and environmental protection? The increasing gap between the wealthy and everybody else? Yeah. We did that. Yeah, on purpose. Sure, it was partially because we wanted to help our pals. Partially, it was because we really believe that the country is better off this way. But, mostly, mostly we did it because we could. Suck on that, Olbermann!”
I wouldn’t vote for the bastard, but I would respect the shit out of him.

Is It Too Late To Write A Book About Impeaching Obama?
In the last five years, if you hadn’t written a book on impeaching President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, or at least bringing them up on criminal charges, you couldn’t really consider yourself a liberal. While this mini-industry will probably continue for the foreseeable future, forward looking progressive writers are already looking for the next trend in publishing.
Can it be long before the “Obama has disappointed us” trend hits bookstores? He’s only been in office a week – writers better get on the bandwagon before it leaves the station without them!

Fear Isn’t A Card To Be Played – It’s Their Whole Deck!
“Eliminating the Bush system [Guantanamo and aggressive torture] will mean that we will get no more information from captured al-Qaeda terrorists. In his decisions taken so precipitously just two days after the Inauguration, Mr. Obama may have opened the door to further terrorist acts on U.S. soil by shattering some of the nation’s most critical defenses.”
– Bush legal mouthpiece John Yoo in a Wall Street Journal op-ed piece

Please Think About What Is Being Said Before You Send The Hate Mail
A lot of heat has been shed around the use of the term “Panzerfication” by some members of the Hockey Night in Canada team, but not a lot of light. It’s simply a quick and easy way of referring to the debate over how brutal hockey has become, how the fight for territory on the rink almost requires military precision.
Holocaust survivors critical of the use of the term should lighten up.

The Boy Is Father To The Broadcast Journalist
MORLEY SAFER: Malcolm Jamal Malcolm knows the agony of growing up black without a father. I asked him about how he coped…
MALCOLM JAMAL MALCOLM: Fine. I feel fine.
SAFER: But, don’t you feel like not having a role model has stunted your emotional growth?
MALCOLM: Naah. I got two loving moms and lots of great relatives.
SAFER: But, who teaches you how to be a man?
MALCOLM: We got cable.
SAFER: Who keeps you out of gangs and off drugs?
MALCOLM: Did I mention I got two moms?
SAFER: But –
MALCOLM: Didn’t your dad teach you not to put words in people’s mouths?
SAFER: What?
MALCOLM: Uncool, man. My moms, they taught me the basics of good investigative journalism. You could probably learn a thing or two from them.

Daschled Hopes
No article. I was just having fun with the name of the Health and Human Services Secretary who wasn’t meant to be, Tom Daschle.
Not winning the 50 yard Daschle was another one.
Dine and Daschle would have worked, too.

The Columbus Fallacy Strikes Again
I suppose that, given our declining economy, the United States might look to an emerging economic powerhouse to help us out. However, there is something disturbing in the image of the Indians riding into town to save the cowboys!

Meme Is Murder
Charlie Manson
25 things you don’t know about me:
5. I like kittens. Not in a way that would require eating utensils, either. I just think they’re cute.
12. I wish I was left-handed.
17. When I was a boy, I sneezed with a Norwegian accent.
24. I hate Ikea. If I wanted to make my own furniture, I would carve it out of wood myself. Hate hate hate. Ikea, I mean.
