Your headlines of the day

Good News:The Archbishop of Canterbury gives a sermon about Love of God, noting that those following Jesus still promote peace even to the point of being martyred.
The BBC website even has this story of a modern Christian martyr...
The bad news is that the press rarely notices such Christians, prefering to promote elaborate conspiracy theories:
Rowan comments: So that the modern response to the proclamation, ‘Christ is risen!’ is likely to be, ‘Ah, but you would say that, wouldn’t you? Now, what’s the real agenda?’.

The Good news: the WaPost actually found that some people actually believe that Jesus rose from the dead...(63 percent of Americans were "absolutely certain" Jesus physically rose from the dead).
The Bad News: the only "Catholic" quoted in the aritcle is ex priest . Note to WaPost: Catholics believe that Christ rose from the dead...and one or two of this sect are rumored to actually live in the Washington DC area...

The Good news: THIS link tells you how to defend yourself against anti American bullies:..."Of course! Of course I am! I'm against all forms of war. That's why I condemn the war between Eritrea and Ethiopia (100,000-200,000 dead), and... the Congo (3 million dead)." ...then ask them, innocently, why you've never heard them, or seen them, demonstrate against the blood-letting in Zimbabwe...
The Bad news: As long as THIS GROUP continues their NEFARIOUS ACTIVITIES, Tim Blair says that Anti Americanism will probably continue...

The good news: At least one Aussie had the guts to do actually protest the blood letting in Zimbabwe....(headsup TimBlair)

Bias alert: I knew many people martyred because they chose to stay to treat the sick because they were following Jesus...and many of them were African and even Zimbabwean...

The good news: the CDC/HHS has released the Pandemic Flu plan...
The BadNews: the WAPO article spins the plan as politics: political reporter CeciConnelly even includes the urban legend about the poor Katrina response...
The problem is that the plan is not political: it was done by professionals who were there before Bush and will be still be there when Hillary takes over...

But don't worry about the world ending...Dr.Who is back...

And finally, your Science Headline of the day:
