Default Good news

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,399284,00.html
This is the kind of news I like to see. Real stories about real people like you and I who are trying to live good, productive lives despite the curveballs life throws at us. It beats another headline article about Brittany, Paris or the horde of other celebrities who don't warrant this kind of attention or respect.

Howard,

If you want stories like that, you should look in the LA Times, or maybe even the Orange County Register. Fox News is not a very dependable source of real unbiased news, so I can understand how you were surprised to find a nugget there, even if there was probably a nefarious motivation behind it.

Thanks Bill. I subscribe to the OC Register, and I do read some of these types of articles in it. However, they often appear to have a sociopolitical slant to them. I've never seen an article like this on any of the big name news media websites, so it did catch me by surprise. I couldn't find any political or social statement buried in this particular article.

Another good story even if you're not a sports fan.
