AP World News Feed Bummer

This changes all the time, but here's the current slate of stories at the AP feed on the Cincinnati Enquirer's world headlines slot:

• Suicide Bomber Kills 10 at Iraq Crossing
• Putin Says Foreigners Meddling in Russia
• Somalia Says It Has Defeated Insurgents
• Rice Says Missiles No Threat to Russia
• Estonia to Excavate Soviet War Grave

Sounds like it's going to be a bee-yoo-tiful week. Hmm, maybe Hawking wasn't all wrong after all…

Katie Al-beirne, a writer for Somalia Review, stated that the Prime Minister looked like "a fighter jock" in his flight suit, and predicted that footage of the speech would appear in commercials during the next parliamentary elections.

Why is Nick Gillespie suddenly so glum about the violence and xenophobia in the world? I've always admired Reason's editors for their worldly wisdom-and their optimism in spite of it. Tsk tsk.
