Good News!

I thought I'd do a post full of good news! Except that I couldn't find any.

Iran and North Korea are reacting badly to what our current president believes is "diplomacy." Condoleeza Rice said that the US may need new ways of dealing with North Korea. "She did not elaborate." Did she need to?

Michigan local governments have to stop giving domestic partner benefits, according to the Attorney General's interpretation of the gay-marriage ban Michigan voters passed last year. Is anyone surprised?

The Senate recently voted to open the Arctic National Wildlife Reserve to drilling. In related news, the ice cap on Mount Kilimanjaro in Kenya melted for the first time in 11,000 years. Why is this timing lost on our elected officials?

Paul Wolfowitz, one of the architects of the Iraq war and Bush's invade-all-y'all policies, has been chosen to head the World Bank. The World Bank is bad enough; does it really need him in charge?

And then there's the whole Terry Schiavo mess. I don't even want to get into it. Have a nice day.
