THE SUNDAY GOOD NEWS BAD NEWS

-by Mags

This week, it seemed to me like mostly bad news, but being the proverbial Pollyanna I am, I decided to take once more around the park just to see if I could find something to be positive about. Many of us feel isolated and we forget that the country and the world are quite large. We forget the sheer numbers of Americans and indeed others around the world who are sick and tired of the Bush regime. That the media is lopsided is no accident, and it serves the little dictator to create the illusion that he is the norm, and all else is fringe.

The good news is that the Big Dog gave Chris Wallace a run for his money. Clinton hit the nail on the head. I am not sure which was more fun, his setting the record straight on bin Laden or his setting the record straight on Chris and FOX news.

The bad news? Poor Mike Wallace has to claim this child publicly. If only he did not look like him, he could make up something about the postman. On second thought, Mike, it is worth a try.


The bad news is that Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf and President Bush almost got into it over Pakistan’s commitment to the war on terror. President Musharraf implied that Bush threatened to bomb his country back to the stone age, and that he was either with us, or against us (no, surely not!). But, the good news, is that after an awful lot of eye looking and flat out denials by Richard Armitage (CIA agent outer) the two leaders are once again BFF. Besides, who ever heard of Bush saying such an outlandish thing?

The good news is that the military will not use weapons against our enemies without testing them. The bad news is...
THEY ARE TESTING THEM ON US!!!! Yes, they are, and Mr. Bush has the right to do it without your knowledge.

The good news is that Osama may be dead


The bad news (for the GOP) is if it is true, it came out in September and not in October the way Rove planned it. Maybe, but you never know for sure now, do you? Nope. However, if it happened as reported here, it was a matter of mother nature doing the dirty work, and not the swaggering prez.

The bad news is that Al Qaeda still wants to kill Americans. The good news, as it turns out, only a few of us. And, not even the ones we like.
