Cool, I miss Calvin and Hobbes in my paper. Comics are such a great way to start a day or end it. [:D]

Thanks for the alert. I bought the complete Far Side collection and love reading it with my daughter. She doesn't understand it, but she likes seeing her pops laughing. This will give us some more material to work with.

Do you guys ever notice that all the bad stuff and stuff that makes you depressed are at the beginning at the news programs? They always leave all the good stuff towards the end. Entertainment, sports, and crowning achievements always come with a few mi

You think if they had a program called "Happy News", would anyone watch it? Basically, the program would only cover good and happy items.

I think I remember reading about a few newscasts that tried the "good news" approach - putting good news first, toning down the sensationalism of the bad news and putting it toward the end. Ratings were awful and all of them quickly returned to regular f

I'd buy it but I already have all the Calvin & Hobbes books... mabye there will be some new material though.

There is alot of good in the world. We just post the bad stuff to vent because we can't do anything to stop it. By the way, a guy killed a 70 something year old woman, then raped her dead body. !7 years old my friends, no death penalty. (maybe living next

Would anyone watch the naked news? Would that make you happy? hee hee [:)]

by **KYYX4ever** » Thu Mar 03, 2005 8:47 am

happy news, naked news, sensationalist news...it's all crap. As much as a news hound as I can be, I despise what passes for local or national news nowadays. If I hear another sensationalized, titillating news hour about killings, murders, drive-bys, meth

They are better at European news stories, but I don't trust much coming from them on anything involving the ME, Israel or Iraq.
They have been caught in too many distortions for the sake of being PC.
