Why not talk about the news?

It is tempting to jump on the news bandwagon. But many of us are a little fed up with what passes for news these past few days:

• I have no stomach for looking into the shifty eyes of the self-confessed perpetrator who hid out in the Far East.
• I know Senator Lieberman made a lot of folks mad - and why. I don't want to hear another Republican slyly endorse him.
• I will not become more afraid for my safety as a result of another fear-mongering Presidential proclamation about plots.
• Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera . . .

Here are the real headlines:

• British break up terrorist plot and with it, the U.S. mid term elections
• The Alaska pipelines have not been regularly inspected - drilling will begin off every coastline
• Global warming - not climate change - turns trees to tinder
• More people now in poverty - Thank goodness welfare reform did not stop welfare
• U.S. soldiers found in the line of fire in Iraq civil war
• Meet Lebanon - the newest broken country
• Airline passengers adjusting to a new normal - FAA underfunded and ill-equipped
• Domestic spying found illegal
