Positive Thoughts for Today

Ummm. Weather? No. World peace? No. Must be something.

Got it. “Monsignor William Lynn, a Roman Catholic church official, has been convicted of child endangerment but acquitted of conspiracy in a groundbreaking clergy-abuse trial in Philadelphia.” That’s good news, isn’t it?

Another: “Mary Cheney and Poe [her female partner] were married today in Washington, they said. Mary Cheney has given birth to a son and a daughter.” That’s good news, isn’t it?

Another: “The Arkansas Supreme Court struck down the state's execution law Friday, calling it unconstitutional.” That is good news but would be better if they struck down the death penalty itself.

Another: “Just in time for summer, here's some news that may give vacationers pause before jumping into the water at Cape Cod beaches: Great white sharks are also paying a visit.” This is really good news. It means that seals are returning to their original habitat, sharks are returning to feed on them and tourists are paying a lot of bucks to get a glimpse of the fins. Now all we need is a Korean fishing boat to show up with “finning” knives. Ooops. That would be bad news.

See, if I look hard enough I can find some good news. And, I left out the good news about Justin, Kylie, John, and Katy. Oh yeah, and Jerry.
