ONE OF “THOSE” DAYS

Ever feel like you just can’t win? Here are a few examples of why we sometimes feel that way.

NewScientist.com: “Planting trees can create deserts, lower water tables and drain rivers, rather than filling them, claims a new report supported by the UK government.”
Now we can’t even plant trees!

TIMESONELINE: “THE abortion rate hit a record high last year, according to government figures published yesterday that also show a sharp rise in terminations to girls aged under 14.” (UNDER 14)

NewsMax.com: “As recently as last month, NASA had been warned that foam insulation on the space shuttle's external fuel tank could sheer off as it did in the 2003 Columbia disaster - a problem that has plagued space shuttle flights since NASA switched to a non-Freon-based type of foam insulation to comply with Clinton administration Environmental Protection Agency regulations.”
So it really is Clinton’s fault after all!

MSNBC.com: “The Commerce Department’s latest reading on GDP showed the economy growing at an annualized rate of 3.4 percent. While economists had expected GDP growth to come in at 3.5 percent...”
OH!!!! Heaven forbide...the growth rate was 1/10 of one point under what was expected...what a failing economy that is....! By the way which economists...at the NYT?

worldnetdaily.com: “Americans are now at the lowest level of personal savings in history. During the Reagan era, we saved 12 percent. Today, we save less than one percent. Individual Americans are more in debt in 2004 than ever in our history… personal bankruptcies are at an all time high.”
Some days it just doesn’t pay to get out of bed! NG
