Is it just me? Is it just my news sources? Or has the news been even worse than usual lately? Here are some headlines from my local paper this morning:

1. Dow in the Dumps
Worldwide woes drive industrials below 10,000 for first time since '04

2. Colombo, Sri Lanka: Suicide Bomber Targets Opposition, Kills 27

3. Mogadishu, Somalia: Mortar Rounds Kill 17 People at Market in Somali Capital

4. Quake Destroys Kyrgyzstan Village
6.6-magnitude temblor kills at least 72 people, injures more than 100

5. Bombing Kills 15 in Pakistan
Suicide attacker targets opposition legislator's house, injuring 50

6. Report: Future Bleak for Mammals
5-year survey finds 1 in 4 species is facing threat of extinction

7. 2 Earthquakes Kill 30 in Tibet


After that, it gets into relatively positive local news.

""How can I just let you walk away, just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh
You're the only one who really knew me at all

How can you just walk away from me,
When all I can do is watch you leave
'Cos we've shared the laughter and the pain and even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now, oh there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me,
Just the memory of your face
Ooh take a look at me now, well there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against all odds and that's what i've got to face

I wish I could just make you turn around,
Turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you,
So many reasons why
You're the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now, well there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face
Now take a look at me now, 'cos there's just an empty space

But to wait for you, is all I can do and that's what i've got to face
Take a good look at me now, 'cos i'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
It's the chance i've gotta take

Take a look at me now" -- Phil Collins" -- Doc Sigma
