Is it just me?
It’s Friday and this is an Open Trackback Alliance post. Link to this post and track back all weekend. More below.
Is it just me, or is the “news” of contemporary events all—or at least almost all—bad, ranging from the merely dismal to the catestrophic? even the weatherman seems apologetic and tentative when he has good news, as if to say, “Well, the weather will be nice today, but don’t blame me. I’ll be sure to have bad news tomorrow. Besides, haven’t I given y’all the good news in as gloomy a fashion as possible?”
Is it really the case that it’s just human nature to want bad news, so the market’s just feeding us what we want?
Or is it the case that human beings are, as Christian theology teaches, fundamentally self-flawed, sinful creations who typically make bad news, and that in any case, the universe itself is out to get us?
*heh*
Still, there has to be better news out there than the Mass MEdia Podpeople’s Army and all its Hiveminded minions bring us.
Doesn’t there? Somewhere?
Maybe Ferdy has heard some…
As I said, this is an open trackback post open all weekend long. Link to this post and then track back. If you want to host your own linkfests, check out
Also note the other fine blogs featuring linkfests at Linkfest Haven.
Well, I can believe the first part of that, at least.
