Does anyone have any good news?

[HeeBGBz]

I read DU first thing in the am to get my news fix. It usually powers me up to face the day working in Freeperville. Today's reading selection has been totally depressing. Mostly in-fighting and gloom as more freedoms get stripped away and the planet teeters towards annihilation.

Does anyone have some news that will make me smile hopefully that the day and my future isn't going to totally suck?

3. No kidding

there must be a full court press on.
All I'm hearing is crap about steriods, like I care.

4. No, Sorry ....

It is a collective Dark Night of the Soul. This plane is going through a major transition.

Time to transcend ... if that is any inspiration.

8. Well on a local note

my neighborhood convinced the planning commission to recommend to city council that a developers request to vacate the cul de sac at the end of our street so they could put in a bank, be denied.

I also went off on the developers attorney and told them how arrogant and greedy they were after a comment was made that if WE wanted to put a stop to them encroaching on our neighborhood, we should give in to their request. We had fought this three years ago when another developer wanted to do the same thing.

Because the developers were confident they would win, they had already bought the property (two homes) and if city council denies their request as recommended by the planning commision, the greedy SOBS are stuck with property they can't do anything with.

12. Rock on. Kick corporate ass!

Thank you. You did make me smile. I'm still working on the hope.

Have a fine Friday all.

17. its going to snow in Tahoe and I'm gonna get me some

I too am incredibly screwed up from the transition to fascism. I get these dreams now of being taken away. It sucks and i think that's part of the deal-"they" want you to be down and scared. So transcending ,i guess is the order of the day,week , month....but it's hard. chin up

[HippieCowgirl]

28. that's the funniest post I've seen on DU in a while!

thanks for making me laugh at least.

Good news! HA!

Uh .... it's a really beautiful day here in LA? Hows that?

29. I attended the swearing-in of 8 Democrats in my red county

Today marked the first time since the Great Depression that a single Democrat has served on our County Board, much less five. We went 5 for 6 on Nov. 2nd, and we also elected Democats as States' Attorney, Sheriff and Coroner; only the Sheriff's Office had been held by a Democrat prior to today.

Yes, Virginia, there IS some good news. :)

30. So the doctor says to the patient, "I have good news and bad news,"

"The bad news is, you are going to die in about 6 months because you have an incurable disease. All of your finances will be expended in a futile effort to save your life. You wife will leave you. Your business will go under and, ultimately, you will die a very painful death."

"My God - what's the good news?"

"See that good looking nurse over there with the big knockers? I'm screwing her!"

Thank you very much.
