I opened the newspaper today and here were the leading headlines:
- The New York Times: Powerful Earthquake Rocks Peru; Parents Warned Cough Medicines May Imperil Infants; Iraq Toll at 250 In The Deadliest Attack of the War
- The Washington Post: Rattled Stock Markets Continue to Fall; Use of Spy Satellites to Widen; Texas Bracing for Floods as Erin Arrives
- Everywhere else: More Bad News.
And I thought to myself: This is depressing. I’m depressed today. I just want to leave work, get on the subway and go back home to watch reruns of The Wonder Years.
Then it hit me.
Upside Down Again, as of today, finally finds the direction its always been looking for: This blog will here on in be a beacon of hope in the great sea of despair that is the U.S. News and Tabloid Jungle. I’ll scour the newspapers for buried headlines that will turn your frown (wait for it…) upside down. Why not? Good things happen in this world every day; and after all, a spoon full of sugar certainly does help the medicine go down.
