11/16/2006: "Anyone Have Some Good News To Share??"

As a blogger, I look to the world around me for inspiration for these entries. Inevitably, there are things I see that I want to talk about - usually, the hardest part is paring down the list. Lately, though, it seems as though the only headlines out there are negative. Take a look at a list of items from CNN.com today:

U.S. military: American contractors abducted in Iraq

Foley sex scandal focus of criminal investigation

Model dies of anorexia complications

Of course, there are some truly important stories as well:

Is Jessica Simpson interested in Tony Romo?

Lines grow for launch of PlayStation 3

O.J.'s latest: 'If I Did It'

Can you imagine if we had to use our media as the measuring stick of our society? Imagine a race of superbeings orbiting the planet as we speak, looking at the media to determine whether we deserve an opportunity to grow or should simply be snuffed out of existence. I don't think we'd have much of a chance.

I'm so depressed ...

I know what you mean about depressed, but go back and take another look at that Baby Mako photo (in the Marlin Club) ; notice the beauty, the fearsome, awesome beauty and see if it cheers you up.
Not everything in this World is ugly, cynical or just plain "dumb"
(not even every MarlinNut is ! )

Yeah, my Brandes Global managed fund was up 19.3% for the year and that was 2.5 weeks ago. My fund balance is in the 7 figures. Unbfortunately, I have a tax problem.
