No News is Good News?

As a journalism student, I'm supposed to follow the news pretty closely. Oh, and as an informed citizen too I guess. But as much as I love the BBC, I get really depressed reading the stories of the day -- especially from Africa and the Middle East. (I have a few bookmarked news sites and I've put them in the folder titled "Everything's Gone to Hell.")

While I don't plan on skipping on the negative news reports any time soon, I do plan on visiting this site more often. There is some news that is actually good news. It does exist! Don't just read about car bombs in Iraq. Read the sappier stories too... specifically the one about the 25-million-year-old frog.

Ps. In other non-Middle East related news, Britney Spears has undergone her latest metamorphosis... Virgin Schoolgirl to Trashy Whore and now, Little Boy:

(And Britney, just because you can shave your head, doesn't mean that you can also get a degree from Harvard and be a kick ass actress. FYI.)
