Cheery posts

I’ve been told recently that the blog has become incredibly depressing to read, so let me try and find some good news. Something uplifting.

Hmmm. There’s… no, that’s no good.

Well, there’s… naaah.

I know! There’s… man, it’s getting ugly out there, isn’t it?

There’s a certain point where happy talk does smack of denial, and I’ve been trying to avoid such things (denying denial?) in favor of being part of the reality based community. On the other hand, worst case scenarios are often not uplifting, although you can pat yourself on the back for being prepared for them and then if they aren’t as bad as they could be, you can feel much better after.

Nevertheless, you could use a good laugh. Preferably without having to find where The Aristocrats is showing near you.

I know! Head Cases has already been cancelled! First casualty of the new TV season! And it turns out that agave, the principal ingredient in tequila, can help people cut cholesterol and lose weight! Yippie!

I promise to have some more uplifting stuff in the future, or and least put some more efforts into thinking our way out of these messes we find ourselves in. Okay? Okay.

  1. Well, from what I’ve been reading, Hurricane Rita hasn’t killed anyone and the property damage is lower than expected, so that’s good news.

    Yeah, one can argue that this is because of the government’s shaming over its Katrina work, but lets take good news where we can get it.

    Neil Gaiman has a new book out. That’s good news.

  3. I think I’m starting to see a solution – food blogging. I’m somewhat addicted to the Food Network, and just about every contest show they have seems to feature a lot of folks in what I’d call “Bush’s base.” I’m halfway convinced the food may be one of the ways to bridge the current political divide in this country (along with stuff like sports), and I’m seeing a sense of that throughout much of the left blogosphere.
