web Some news is good news

Sometimes (read: usually) when I’m reading the Post headlines in my RSS reader I just get so depressed that I click “mark all as read” and move on to lighter fare.

Picture 1
Headline after headline about cops shooting unarmed teenagers, cops who shot unarmed teenagers not facing charges of any kind, baseball stadiums not being built, housing prices going up and up and up, municipal building limits being relaxed or broken to allow more building of larger houses, environmental protection laws being relaxed or broken to allow more building of larger oil wells, war criminals dying in prison, terrorists being allowed to storm out of their trials, good people dying, bad people being promoted, elected officials breaking promises . . .

But sometimes, very rarely, when I click “refresh,” things that don’t actually make me physically sick might come up. Two in a row that make me smile, sometimes.
