(Feb 17 2012) The dark face of Neptune.

I love reading Yahoo! news. Not because of its credibility, but rather lack of. If I want to take the temperature of the national room, I simply scan Yahoo! news.

Invariably, their seven-day-news cycle will include the following; one story about a starlet rocking some red carpet or fashion show, one story that has a teen girl doing something that a boy will usually do, like play hockey goalie for a boys team, or box a kangaroo, or something like that.

Then they'll feature a funny cat story. Next, they'll have some sort of hate/human interest story on gay culture. Finally they'll pepper in what some might call, "hard news." The past two weeks, the hard news has been comprised of two storylines.

Taking center stage of course is all the nasty things Iran is doing to people in places like Indonesia, specifically "going after Israelis."

Just off to the left of that are stories emerging about America's recovery; We're talking "insourcing," how Walmart found its soul again.
