Good news of the day (NOT)

The good news about high oil prices.
This one is from MSNBC MONEY, and the sad news is that it is so clueless.

HELLO: High oil prices mean that food prices will skyrocket.

--------------------------------------
It's the 16th anniversary of the Oklahoma city bombing.

No, we didn't live in Oklahoma City, but in Clinton and Pawhuska at a different time.

some good news from Oklahoma: Pointing out that funerals are private matters, it strives to protect the family while pointing out there are plenty of places and times to protest that aren't restricted. The sad news in this is that such a law is needed (and will probably be thrown out by the Supreme court).

-----------------
Drug resistant HIV and the failure of the safe sex meme is a worrying problem, even in the US heartland.
It's the Craigslist epidemic. Sigh.

-------------------------
Good news for grumps: Cheery people die earlier.

------------------------------
It's still snowing at Lake Woebegon

--------------------------
For Librarian fans only: Professor Bob on the Sacred Lance (all 14 of them).

----------------

Lots of corruption cases starting here in the Philippines. Fertilizer scam, military plunder, etc. etc. etc.

I'm not sure how many will go to jail when the cases are finally heard (or how many convicted will have a friendly court throw out the conviction) but it's a start. Even the Ombudsman is being impeached.

Our family is still waiting for justice.

---------------------------
In the meanwhile, the Philippines is planning to shut down as everyone goes home for the Easter holidays.
We're hoping for no terrorism or accidents will happen to spoil the fun.
