The Daily Me - Vision 2020 Vision

Thank you, Vision 2020 Vision, 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 got one of those alerts over our phones that are all the rage with police departments these days. We did what any caring, compassionate citizen in our situation would do: we pressed the "got it" button so that the screen was off our phones. Talk about a bring-down! And...anyway...we are more than six degrees of separation away from young children, so the alert couldn't possibly have had anything to do with us.

Yeah - hee hee. Funny thing about that. When we heard the explosion and saw the glow of fire on the horizon, we did a little research and discovered that the alert was actually about an impending explosion at the Pickering Nuclear Power Plant. Well! We certainly learned something there! If we survive, as individuals and as a civilization, in future we are definitely going to take these phone alerts much more - oh, sorry. We have to take thi - oh, no, it's just another - zombies? - never mind - much more seriously!

Enjoy,

And When He Was Finished With You, He Was Going To Come After Your Dog

President Donald Trump's ever-changing rationale for the killing of Iranian General Qassem Suleimani:

Reasons.
Good reason.
He had the blood of a lot of Americans on his hands, and was planning on killing more.
He had the blood of a lot of Americans on his hands, and was planning on imminently killing more.
He had the blood of a lot of Americans on his hands, and was planning on imminently killing more at an American embassy.
YOU ARE HERE: He had the blood of a lot of Americans on his hands, and was planning on imminently killing more at four American embassies.
He had the blood of a lot of Americans on his hands, and was planning on imminently killing more at every American embassy in the Middle East.
He had the blood of a lot of Americans on his hands, and was planning on imminently killing more at every American embassy around the world.
He had the blood of a lot of Americans on his hands, and was planning on imminently killing YOU! HE WAS ABOUT TO COME AFTER YOU! IMMINENTLY! THAT MEANS: WITH HIS BARE HANDS! TRUST ME! YOU WEREN'T SAFE! NOW YOU ARE! YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A STABLE GENIUS TO SEE THAT! SO ENJOY YOUR LIFE! YOU'RE WELCOME!

If Ever A Politician Needed To Be Put In A Straitjacket In A Santorum...

Rick Santorum is no longer a Senator - why does anybody pay any attention to what he has to say?







Okay, yes, he was the third ranking Republican in the Senate, and, even after he lost his seat there were still a lot of people who cared about what he had to say. That's one of the funny things about the Basket of Deplorables: when controversial public figures disappear into it, their followers gather round, putting their hands on it in the hope that the vibrations they feel will translate into words of wisdom from their heroes. Does it work? Who knows! The nonsense that comes out of this process is no more nonsensical than the nonsense that preceded it.

So. Once again, with four part harmony and feeling: the United States has more guns per capita than any other country in the world, and the highest rate of gun deaths (outside of war zones). The vast majority of shootings are not stopped by a good Samaritan with a gun; they are stopped by police. Guns in private hands are often stolen by criminals, used to commit suicide or accidentally used by toddlers to shoot the toes off their parents.

The fabric of the basket of deplorables is supposed to keep bad ideas from getting out; it may also be responsible for good ideas not being able to penetrate. Perhaps the weave needs a rethink...

The Curious Case Of The Watchdog That Didn't Bark In The Night

Taxpayers are saving approximately $8 million a year thanks to Premier Doug Ford's decision to fold the operations of Ontario's environmental commissioner, child advocate and French language services commissioner into the offices of the auditor general and ombudsman.

It is clear that the Ford government needs a watchdog to explain the idea of false economies to it. Unfortunately…

What Diminished Expectations We May Once Have Had Have Disappeared Beyond The Event Horizon Of Low Information Electorates

"Brutal; hungry for power; fleeing the public and awkward questions; disregarding Parliament; brandishing a nationalism and an arrogance worthy of Trump." - France's Le Monde newspaper on Boris Johnson before the British election

The Royal Family Has Produced Many A Clown
But They're Still Fun To Have Around

The royals are coming to town, hoo ha
The royals are coming to town
Nothing will ever again get us down
Because the royals are coming to town

Canadians killed in a plane shot down by Iran?
That's as nothing compared to Prince Harry's tan!

China holding innocent Canadians to hostage for a national named Meng?
Can't hold a candle to Harry and Meghan's royal wedding!

The United States renegotiating an international trade deal?
Who cares‽ What will be Harry and Meghan's first Canadian meal?

Alberta threatening to secede because of stalled pipelines?
Will Meghan go back into acting? Will she remember the right lines?

Are Canadian troops' lives endangered by potential war in the Middle East?
Whose royal reaction to the move do we care about the least?

Is the federal government unable to impose a carbon tax?
Prince Harry and Meghan will entertain us, so relax!

The royals are coming to town, hoo ha
The royals are coming to town
Nothing will ever again get us down
Because the royals are coming to town
