I haven't done an edition of "Good News!!! OMG!!!" in a while, but I thought it was appropriate at this time. A lot of good news has been going on this month, so I thought I'd collect it for you:

2. This WAS a great month for news...

Can you add the GAO report on the stolen elections? And how about Kerry's win yesterday in the Senate?

9. Harry Reid and the DEMs invoked Senate Rule #21

which took them into executive session away from the press where Reid and others demanded that the Republicans investigate the lies that justified the war. Follow the link ... I am sure you heard about this - the Repugs referred to it as a 'stunt' and I kind of like that word.

Stunt: a feat displaying unusual strength and skill according to my American Heritage Dictionary.
