glance at this mornings headlines

Good morning.


After a good nights rest and pleasant dreams, I love to wake up to a good cup of coffee and read the news to stay in touch with the world around me.


So as I wipe the sleep from my eyes and glance at this mornings headlines...


"Global Fears of a Recession Grow Stronger"
"Group Find Extinction Theatens [sic] 1 in 4 Mammals" (No, I didn't mistype it and I'm not sure what "theatens" is but it sounds bad. See Page 2)
Asian Earthquakes (on land as well as the markets), American Missionaries accused of spying in Venezula, Senators cheating on their taxes...


And a snippet of a story about a women, who was really a man, that served four years on the city council as a women and was getting sued because of it. (What would happen if she decided to run as a man? HE couldn't run for "re-election." Would he/she have to debate him/herself?)


And so with head full of headlines, and the pleasant dreams of last night thoroughly exorcised from my mind, I feel somewhat content in sharing the news with you. May it give you the same day terrors it has now given me. May you go forth from the safety of you beds and homes, into the hostile world where Extinction "Theatens" 1 in 4 mammals, where missionaries are spies and recessions grow. Recessions, and Taxes, and Bear Markets, oh, my.


The one silver lining news story is way back on page 5. Keep going. Couple more pages. There it is. The small story. No, no. At the bottom. "Oil falls below $90." WOW a positive headline! And despite hurricanes and war. Several paragraphs into the story, it even suggests oil could drop below $70! That's AWESOME! We can all go back to driving our SUVs! Hooray.


Enjoy the "news"
