Things that make me happy...

I'm listening to "Prairie Home Companion" - Keillor is so good about making fun of things, like, er, the election.  Heh.  The healing power of laughter. :)

I also really must torment you all with snippets of Afrai's post at [livejournal.com profile] bravecows:

I like the British papers -- there is so much screechy rage in every direction. Nothing like a bracing round of screechy rage to make one feel that one is living in a fairly healthy political climate.

...

If you get the wrong party in power in America, countries go boom. Bit of a problem, that.



(Afrai's full entry, which you really should read because it all made me chortle.)

edited to add: I had forgot to mention [livejournal.com profile] inscrutable's post about Falluja. Not cool news, but his delivery is amusing.

It's true about the screechy rage, you know. And it's not even only in the tabloids -- the broadsheets are full of it. It's totally fantastic what they find to get mad about. Some politician makes an untoward comment, and he goes down! heeee. <3
