Sure Could Use Some Good--even sensible--News:

As I often do, I started this morning by watching some news.  As usual, it was mostly bad.  This morning, though, a particular kind of badness struck me.  Country singer Hank Williams Jr. seemed more ready for football than to answer questions about the current political scene.  His answers were mostly mono-syllables, barely above grunts, though he did manage to link our president to Adolph Hitler.  Then we were given the benefit of Roseann Barr's careful analysis of the economy.  Everyone who earns more than $100 million--no doubt, a number arrived at after careful study--should give back the excess, or go to Cambodian style re-education camps, or, failing said re-education, be beheaded.  Is "demouthed" a word?
Then there was an enlightening series of interviews with the residents of a tent-village, who want to "take over Wall Street."  As near as I can tell none of them have any idea what they will do with the financial capital of our nation if they manage to seize it.  Perhaps watch Roseanne reruns, hang out with Rowdy Friends, and broadcast old Michael Moore movies?
I was about to despair of hearing not only good news, but any that actually made any sense, when the story of Josh Ripley helping a cross-country competitor came up.  

Lord, help me to live so as to help those in need, and to encourage those who search for good news like a thirsty man in the desert looks for water.  
Amen

It's STTA.
