The bad news is that sometimes they are. :(

The good news is, this can lead to comedy routines.

The bad news is that some of the newer comedy routines don't seem very funny. Oh for the days of Bob Hope, Red Skelton; and others. :(

The good news is, there is greater access now to the truly funny ones than there has ever been.

The bad news is that increased access means increased ads ... especially political. :(

The good news is, there are such things as ad blockers.

The bad news is that I'm now getting "stuff" that says things like, "because of ad blockers you can't see this 'important' information" ... turn off ad blockers now."

The good news is, the important information is that it is important to use the ad blockers.

The bad news is that you can't qualify ad blockers to only avoid political ads.

The good news is, political ads, as annoying as they are, are an inherent part of a democracy.

The bad news is having to plow through them to get to more interesting "mail." Generally, they all seem to just want money.

The good news is, you can still keep your money.

The bad news is that the government is planning on raiding savings accounts and IRAs. The legislation is already in place.

The good news is, that might not go far.

The bad news is that it might! :(

The good news is, the world if ull of weirdos.

The bad news is that many of them seem to work in Washington, DC.

The good news is, a lot of the others work in Hollywood.

The bad news s that's true.

The good news is, the standards of "normal" are changing.

The bad news is that's also true.

The good news is, there is stability in chaos, and chaos in stability.

the bad news is chaos is still chaos

The good news is, that chaos brings possibilities.

The bad news is that it can also bring worse chaos. :(

The good news is, there is still serenity.

The bad news is that doesn't apply if you're in Kabul. :(

The good news it is almost certain that the "Great Pacific Garbage Patch" will never gain sentience.

The bad news is the "Great Pacific Garbage Patch". :sad:

The good news is, it is within our power to do something about it.

The bad news would be the cost.

The good news is, this could be added to the productivity of another of the US's industries.

The bad news is they'd probably want to store it all in a landfill. :(

The good news is, people are finding other ways to deal with messes.

You mean like the bad news where our government takes your savings and IRA's?

Good News: I Stopped By
Bad News: Might Be A While Befor I Come Back

The good news is, TGE dropped by.

Bad news is that she said it may be a while before she comes back. :(

The good news is, maybe she will encourage other long-lost Pixies to return.

The bad news would be if they aren't responsive. :(
