Thank you, Diane von Furstlastenalwaysburg, 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, Liam Neeson said he's no racist. When he wandered the street looking for a black man to kill, he was suffering an uncontrollable rage because of the rape of a close friend of his. And, we believe he's not a racist. After all, would Oskar Schindler ever lie to you?
Enjoy,Excerpt from an interview with Starbucks kabillionaire Howard Schultz:
JOURNALIST: Some critics of your intention to run for President say that you have no policy ideas.
HOWARD SCHULTZ: Policy ideas? Pfft! Please! I didn't become the founder of the most popular chain of non-alcoholic drinking establishments by not having policy ideas!
JOURNALIST: Oooooo-kay, then. What is your position on climate change?
HOWARD SCHULTZ: After the winter we've had? I could certainly use a change of climate!
JOURNALIST: Umm, no, sir. I meant: what would your government do about the fact that the pollutants human activity are putting into the environment are causing increasingly violent and unpredictable weather patterns?
HOWARD SCHULTZ: Really?
JOURNALIST: Really.
HOWARD SCHULTZ: That sounds like something that needs more study.
JOURNALIST: Over 90 per cent of climate scientists agree that the devastation of the climate is approaching a point of no return, if we haven't already reached it.
HOWARD SCHULTZ: Oh. Well. That sounds pretty bad, then.
JOURNALIST: So, what would a Schultz administration do about it?
HOWARD SCHULTZ: Something decisive, no doubt. I didn't become the king of caffeine by being wussy!
JOURNALIST: But - okay. Let's move on. What are you considering doing about Russian interference in American elections?
HOWARD SCHULTZ: It depends on whose behalf they are interfering.
JOURNALIST: Actually, it doesn't. The fact that they are interfering at all means they are acting against the United States.
HOWARD SCHULTZ: That's pretty bad, too, isn't it?
JOURNALIST: Some people think so, yes.
HOWARD SCHULTZ: Definitely gonna have to study that one.
JOURNALIST: Right. The ongoing humanitarian crisis in the Occupied Territories?
HOWARD SCHULTZ: Needs study.
JOURNALIST: The American abrogation of the Iran non-nuclear treaty?
HOWARD SCHULTZ: Gonna study the shit out of that one.
JOURNALIST: The American abrogation of the Iran non-nuclear treaty?
HOWARD SCHULTZ: Gonna study the shit out of that one.
JOURNALIST: Economic competition with China?
HOWARD SCHULTZ: Umm...study it?
JOURNALIST: The increasing wealth gap between the rich and the poor?
HOWARD SCHULTZ: That's a problem? (beat) Joking! I was just joking! I would definitely study that one.
JOURNALIST: Mister Schultz, why do you want to be President?
HOWARD SCHULTZ: This country needs new leadership with new ideas!

For Such A Tough Guy, Doug Ford Sure Has Stacked His Cabinet With Virgins!
Ontario Attorney General Caroline Mulroney has vowed to speed up the process of independent investigations of police officers.
"Everybody knows they're going to be found innocent," Attorney General Mulroney explained. "So, why should they languish under a cloud of suspicion?"

"Spiritual Death To America" Didn't Fit On A Bumper Sticker
In comments at a gathering of Iranian air force officers, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei said that chants of "Death to America!" had been misunderstood for decades.
"Those of us who say that do not mean we want the entire country to be murdered," he explained. "We are calling for a spiritual death that is the necessary precursor to America's spiritual rebirth as a moral nation."
Un hunh. What about the fact that Iranians who chant "Death to America!" are often heavily armed? Grinning, Supreme Leader Khamenei replied: "We are just trying to - how did your writer put it? - focus the American mind..."

The Joke Is On Her: The Planet Takes Her Government's Policies Very Personally
Belgium's Environment Minister Joke Schauvliege has backed down from her claim that the country's security services had told her that kid's climate demonstrations were a plot against her.
"The children didn't have their nap time at school," Minister Schauvliege allowed. "As a result, they were crankier than usual, and took it out on our government's climate policy. While their behaviour is not acceptable, I now accept that it wasn't personal."

Say It MacLeod, Say It MacProud?
Ontario Social Services Minister Lisa MacLeod has apologized for telling a group of behaviour analysts that they would suffer "four long years" if they didn't support the province's changes in policy towards autistic children. Sort of.
"I'm sorry they misunderstood what I was saying," Minister MacLeod stated. "All I meant was that the Ford government would pass a law making all of the next four years leap years, making them all a day longer."
Meanwhile, the Ford government claims that it has broad support for its plan to cut a wait list of 23,000 children by taking money from support payments children already in the programme get. And, anybody who does not support the policy is selfish, short-sighted, self-interested and a "professional protester" who lacks common sense or decency.
"But, we will be happy to work with them to show them the error of their ways," Minister MacLeod magnanimously mouthed.
