Today's Depressing News




Leham Bro after a 158 year run, filled for bankruptcy, causing 25,000 around the world to loose their jobs. Myrill Lynch sells out to Bank of America. The Dow ended Friday down 10 points. Read more depressing wall street news here. Gas has rose to over $5 in some parts of the country. Overnight, gasoline prices nationwide rose an average of more than 6 cents. That followed another 6-cent jump between Friday and Saturday. Read more here. And Ike, oh my goodness, 30 are dead, and thousands are left homeless and stuck in shelters. Wow, good morning America. This depressing news has inspired me to get involved. Sitting here bitching isn't going to change anything, and true I can't change the world. But maybe I can do a little good here locally. I looked into two great volunteer sites, if you don't know about them check out the links:
Bread For The City
DC Humane Society
If we could all do a little something, maybe we could make a big change.
