Did everyone hear that News Corp., that behemoth headed by Rupert Murdoch, has purchased Beliefnet.com, a faith portal whose mission "is to help people like you find, and walk, a spiritual path that will bring comfort, hope, clarity, strength, and happiness". Well, I doubt they meant people specifically like "me"...
Anyway, the same guy that owns Fox News and the Wall Street Journal now owns an online site for jeebus believers. Not that I think this particular acquisition is all that significant, but does anyone else think that there should be limits on the number of "news" organizations that one company can own? (Like there used to be...)

Don’t demean yourself, csm, I’m sure it is folks just like you that Rupert most wants to see ‘saved’.
Ok. Somehow this seems to require from my brain a bit of Monty Python, from The Life of Brian:
Always look on the bright side of life. [whistling]
Always look on the light side of life. [whistling]
If life seems jolly rotten,
There's something you've forgotten,
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps,
Don't be silly chumps.
Just purse your lips and whistle. That's the thing.
And...
Always look on the bright side of life. [whistling]
Always look on the right side of life, [whistling]
For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word.
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin.
Give the audience a grin.
Enjoy it. It's your last chance, anyhow.
So,...
Always look on the bright side of death, [whistling]
Just before you draw your terminal breath. [whistling]
Life's a piece of shit,
When you look at it.
Life's a laugh and death's a joke. It's true.
You'll see it's all a show.
Keep 'em laughing as you go.
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.
And...
Always look on the bright side of life. [whistling]
Always look on the right side of life. [whistling]
Always look on the bright side of life! [whistling]
Always look on the bright side of life! [whistling]
Always look on the bright side of life! [whistling]
Always look on the bright side of life! [whistling]
Always look on the bright side of life! [whistling]
Always look on the bright side of life! [whistling]
Always look on the bright side of life! [whistling]
Always look on the bright side of life! [whistling]
