Who says we only publish bad news?


Posted at 12:01 am by Jon Bauer, Herald staff

The dreary weather has The Buzz ferreting out silver linings from the clouds, so let's review the news, bad and good.

The bad news: The state has rolled out a van equipped with a camera that will take photos of speeders along state highways. Tickets will be mailed to the vehicle's registered owner.

The good news: You won't have to wait for a state trooper to write you a ticket.

The bad news: Martha Stewart's 12-year-old chow dog died.

The good news: The report gives us the excuse to print the dog's full name: Kublai Khan Paw Paw Chow Chow Chow.

The bad news: More adults, at least more Canadian adults, are smoking pot, an Ontario study says.

The good news: Canada will have to increase the production of Nanaimo bars.

The bad news: High fuel and food prices are driving inflation, the recession continues and a leading economist says those stimulus checks are going to get eaten up paying for $4-a-gallon gas.

The good news: We couldn't think of any. Here, drown your sorrows with a Nanaimo bar.
