News Good News Monday!
posted by October 8 at 10:50 AM
onGee, guys. The past week was so full of bad news: Officials in Myanmar turned off the Internet, cops went on murderous rampages, and our sports team was for shame. I can hardly bring myself to read the newspaper. Neither can my mom. She told me recently, “I can’t pick up the paper anymore, love. Every time it’s either George Bush or somebody raped a baby.” How succinct. She’s Australian and calls everyone “love,” even when making a baby-rape reference. Anyway, since you’re depressed from the bad news, here’s the cure: good news!
Debbie Cole of St. Petersburg, Florida found $65,000 stuffed into a bag, so she turned it in! That was so nice.
I’m already feeling better. How about you? … Maybe this will help. Thousands of toads crossing the highway were getting squashed like tomatoes until a few compassionate souls saved millions of them. Wow! Toads!
Someone uploaded this lovely photo to Flickr. It looks like the Cathedral of Chartres, but I’m not sure. At least it’s nice to see that crusading institutions of murder and misery made such neat stuff from rocks and glass.
Hey, and let’s not forget about porn. HUMP! 3 happened and lots of folks got an eyeful. Maybe you didn’t go and that is the good news. But there’s still lots of porn online. The totally NSFW X-Tube is absolutely free.
Speaking of pussies, they are being rescued.
Listen, the news won’t be fair until it’s balanced. There’s a lot of bad news to counteract. So if you’ve got good news from the past week, put it in comments. Did a woman cut off her abusive husband’s prick, did a baby St. Bernard take a nap, did someone find Larry Craig’s personal stash of brassieres? We need details.

Was Sen. Craig big on grilling?
Yes, he's alleged to have attended many a gay airport bathroom BBQ. I do hope those braziers turn up - maybe some briquettes, too!
Fixed that, thanks.
Here's some good news: Lulu the rhino is pregnant!

Hooray, baby rhinos!

The bus driver on the 49 gave me a free ride from the hill to the UD after I foolishly spent my bus fair on a used VHS copy of Police Academy 1.
I hear ya!! I need details too. I got a cryptic email from a Jonah Spangleedesh or something last week and it said, no shit,
"What the fuck are you talking about?"
It's a good thing he decided to skip Journalism 101.
Cathedral looks English, the spandrals rising in the vaults are a common distinguishing characteristic. Plus the lectern looks a little too cold/calvinist for greater Paris. Clearly a three story flying buttress, but which one? Nice picture too
Not quite fixed. The lady's undergarment which is never far from MY mind at least is a brassiere. Brassier means "more brassy", if anything.
Who the heck won Hump!? What's up with the silence, Stranger? Was there shenanigans?
left coast, I'll write for ya - the column: "Tales of a Bad Snowboreder"
it has to be better than than wasting time reading/commenting on this crap blog, plus a born and raised Ski-attlite bandmate knows a lot of cool nooks to get interesting perspectives
look for my email
Oh, Jesus. Now, it's fixed... I hope. Gay men can't be trusted spelling such things. Straight senators however...?
I don't have a horse in the race. I'm just bored with Savage and his minions dictating the subject (on a brighter note, "Every Child Deserves Assualt and Battery" has been retired), and posting comments here.
It's probably a signpost on the PI's journey to strictly online status, and why not be a part of something interesting.
in other good news, a pit bull played with a toddler, then kissed a baby kitten this weekend, with no dire consequences.
Cathedral appears to be Notre Dame in Paris, not Chartres.
In spite of predictions that this weekend would be "rainy and no one will enjoy themselves if they're outside", we enjoyed ourselves.
Boo ya, National Weather Service motherfucker.

I agree, I don't think it could be Chartes because you would have been able to see the top of the "prayer room" from that particular angle. I think it may be Notre Dame, but can't be positive... looks like there are enough tourists to assume so.
Sure is pretty though and gives me lovely, nostalgic images from my time in France, and that's definitely happy news on a Monday afternoon!
It indeed does look like Notre Dame de Paris, especially the rose window that is the next flickr shot.
I think my comment was censored for ideological reasons. I pointed out that it might be more interesting to have your own blog on the PI website, rather than just posting comments here. It probably goes without saying, but "eat me".
Good news in Oz for yer mum.
Tell her they're tossing out the duffer who want to keep Australia in Iraq.
Good news! My bittorrent download of Iron Chef America Season One finally finished!!!
How long did it take?
About eighteen hours :( But the enjoyment I get from watching Mario Batali do his Thang is worth the wait.
