Fore!











Dude, you remember that chick in that Huey lewis video "Stuck With You?"
She was hot.

What the Hell are you so optimistic about?











The world is going down in flames, my friend. Or is it? Sure, with continuous network coverage of every armed conflict, natural disaster, bioterrorism plots, plain old terrorism plots, global warming, and the rapid depletion of our natural resources, we certainly have gotten the idea that we're going to hell in a handbasket. What is a handbasket, anyway? Or is it hand basket? Can we update this phrase? How about: "The world is going to Hell in a Kenneth Cole Messenger Bag."

I digress. My message is basically this: check out what some of our foremost thinkers have to say about the state of the world, and you may have a reason to be quite optimistic. The Edge World Question Center has asked famous minds what they have to be optimistic about. Check out this post by Chris Anderson.

The world is getting better.
If that doesn't make us happier, we really have no one to blame except ourselves. Oh, and the media lackeys who continue to feed us the litany of woes that we subconsciously crave.
