Newsy Day

lots going on today in the news.  some good, some bad.  never a dull moment.

my comments are with each one.

-----

Cardinals break their long losing streak. ('bout freakin' time !!)

50,000 pounds of bad moo meat recalled.  (really makes me wanna have a hamburger.  you?)

Beloved Gov Quinn signs bill to legalize medical marijuana. (i have very mixed feelings on this issue.)

Russia grants temporary 1 year asylum to  Leaker Snowden. (Snowden=coward.)

A-Rod suspension / ban - what will happen? (ban them all!  bring up the minor leaguers.)

Millikin professor committed triple murder 50 years ago. (unbelievable story !!)

S&P crosses 1,700 for first time (I still maintain we are sitting on a very fat bubble.)

Additional heartbreaking details released at Ariel Castro's sentencing.  (The guy really needs help. So do the gals.  2 different types of help.)

Illinois Governor's mansion receiving $339k upgrades (WHY?  he doesn't live there.  no one has lived there in a long time. maintain it... yes.  upgrade it... no.)

-----

as i said earlier, some good, some bad.  like every day.  i try to focus on the good -- life is happier that way.

out for now....
