"Good News" WTF?

[fett]

Has anyone heard some good news nationally? I haven't. These seem to be trully dark days.

[rjohnstone]

The "shit" has been hitting the proverbial fan for a while now.
I think the motor in the fan is about to die from all the shit stuck to it.

I'm a happy guy but I am getting really bummed. I really do try to look on the bright side of life. Oh, God, "Life of Brian".:ROTF:

Seems like since 9/11 24 hour "news" stations found out fear sells.

[fett]

The "Fear" thing is a way of looking at things. The reality is there is a mess out there and while it's not quite the same thing that FDR was talking about, it's something to think about.

[Bengal]

Well, that's a bit of an overgeneralization, isn't it? "There is a mess out there". What does that really mean? The middle east? Food stamps? Welfare fraud? Deadbeat ebay buyers? Deadbeat dads? Bubs Daddy Bubble Gum?

Of course it's a mess out there. I would wager it always has been, we just didn't know about it because we didn't have Fox News and CNN telling us all about it.

I think it's an election year. The media is in bed with the liberals. In order for them to regain power, everything has to be in the shitter.

I think you are on to something. I used to be a news junkie of sorts, but it's getting to where I can't bear to watch any of it anymore.

Everything is in the shitter....or is that just my life?

If you've got something positive to share, I'm sure the OP and myself would love to hear about it. Of course I'll be taking anything you write with a grain of salt.

I have been around long enough to see the '50's boom: the '60's free ride until Viet Nam; the '70's ouch Stagflation; the '80's with hyper inflation and the S&L Crisis and yadda yadda yadda. All of that was before BF. Butt FOX.:ROTF: (That was not bad.)

Interest rates are low and it's a buyers market.

[fett]

Why would you want to buy a house? Prices are declining. You would need a Christ-like credit rating and 20% down. The free ride is over. And mortgage rates are rising.

[Bengal]

Yeah, Fox News is in bed with the liberals.

I get so sick of that sentiment. Both parties have their propaganda machines.
