Depresson? Blues? Global Warming, Anyone?
Maybe being stuck in the middle of a bone-cold January has something to do with it, but today's BlogPulse findings have a tendency to bring you right down.
First, Monday kicked off the week by being designated "the most depressing day of the year." That's from a UK researcher who used a formula factoring in new-year expectations, bills, weather, the amount of daily sunlight at winter's midpoint and other factors to pinpoint exactly Monday's plunge into the depths of gloom.
Secondly, there's news that all the stem cell lines that have been held out as a hope for disease cures in the future are all contaminated and pretty worthless for actual testing/application in humans.
And if you've been sitting around wondering IF global warming exists or IF it's ever coming, a group of scientists says it's already here.
But there's good news, too. Including references to the ongoing Blog Business Summit in Seattle (where BlogPulse is represented) and some of its key speakers, including Microsoft's Robert Scoble.
And among today's Blog Bites is this dose of down-to-earth teen-age perspective on the Christian right's character assassination of an animated sea sponge.
And is a chick fight brewing on Capitol Hill? Seems Sen. Barbara Boxer is taking both heat and praise for her harsh questioning of Secretary of State nominee Condoleeza Rice.
BLOGPULSE TREND GRAPH OF THE DAY: Can anyone explain or theorize why in lies vs. truth, "lies" seems to be dropping while truth holds steady but lower? Is it because the election's over? Or something else?
