Happy

News

Because so much of it isn't. Perusing the stories today we learn ninety percent of all Afghani Taliban picked up were civilianas not armed militants (what do you expect with a twentyfive thousand dollar bounty)oooops, and i am guessing ten at least are in guantanamo held without trial. Wal Mart gets to still systematically discriminate against women because the conservative male judges all think it isn't discimination (crazy but not unexpected), some professor in new york ran a prostitution ring out on line from a west side apartment that reached to arizona, and lady gaga wet herself on stage while schwartenegger is paying child support. thanks aol news.
My favorite-because we need more happy news is this:
woman lived to be just shy of 115 years old. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/06/21/maria-gomes-valentim-worl_0_n_881323.html#s295250&title=Worlds_Largest_Picnic

That beats the woman in the french pyranese by one year who lived on yogurt and haricot vert (green beans). My priest friend was right, fifty is the new thirty five. I want twins.
