Have You Had Your Daily Dose of Depression?

Raise your hand if you know who Debbie Downer is.

If you don't know, she's an SNL made-up character. The kind of person that would remind you of how many people die from malaria each year if she saw you get a mosquito bite. Or she would inform you of the average puppy death statistics if she saw a pet food commercial.

My point?

Ever notice that the news is a lot like Debbie Downer?

Two people died in a...they found more bodies...plane crash in the...SWINE FLU!!!

I'm sorry, but you know what... this information does me NO GOOD! Its gone from being informative to just gossip. The news people sit in their little cubicles thinking of ways to freak out the public, cause paranoia, and digging for the worst "shocker" story they can find.

Well, today I found a great website. FINALLY!!! Finally, we get to hear about nice things.

www.goodnewsnow.com

Don't worry, I'm well aware that its religious-based and that may tweak someone's hair. Well, I don't really care! If your too much of baby to get past the fact that something nice is being said about someone in a religious pretext... GO CRY TO DEBBIE DOWNER!
