And Maybe the Comics
So here's how this morning has gone thus far:
I got myself up at 0530, on purpose. I consider that a small victory. I wander into the TOC to get myself updated.
The Latest on CNN.
Lebanon: Shit
Gaza: Shit
Iraq: Double shit
The US, immigration, education: you get the idea
Over the radio: "looks like the explosion was in the direction of the mosque"
None of this bodes well and my mood sours. It might be one of those days. Those exciting days, but the bad kind of exciting. I turn to the Star Trib for some uplifting local headlines.
Minnesota economy: slowing
Minnesota unemployment (of particular concern to me): rising
Minnesota education: declining
Minnesota politics: pretty much on par with national politics, which is one of the things that makes me Angry XO
At this point I'm heavily debating going back to bed and, upon waking, making Fantasy Baseball the only news I bother to check.

Dad
It's funny you wrote about this, on Thursday morning I had just finished telling mom that CNN International was way better/more accurate/less biased than CNN USA when we turned on the tube (sitting there with our bowls of cereal), and got a heavy dose of everything is going to crap. That was around 9am though.
Happy Father's Day Daddy
