All the news is bad today

MANIFESTO

Take yer pick:

The oil spill continues, and the back story is worse.

The execrable Linda McMahon is actually going to run for the US Senate in my state.

International and domestic equity markets are tanking.

True/Slant, a site I recently discovered and like, is being sold to the hideous Malcolm Forbes. (Matt Taibbi will now blog at rollingstone.com.)

And,

a broad expansion of clandestine military activity [has been ordered] in an effort to disrupt militant groups or counter threats in Iran, Saudi Arabia, Somalia and other countries in the region, according to defense officials and military documents.

I shoulda stood in bed.

UPDATE — Ah. There is some good news for us Macaholics.
