On today's front page:

3 murders, homicides each.
The plummeting stock price.
A fire in alberta.
A 16 year old boy accused of raping 20 women.

To balance all this abd news, on the corner, occupying a tiny ammount of space, a restaurant now has a new desert!

News always seems to be depressing. But then again, saying "nothing bad happened in this neighbourhood" isn't very newsworthy.

My paper, Another nightmare on Wall Street. Women Rule, Ladies take over cities music scene. Grumbling about McCain's Iowa Stop. UI Study on First Impressions. UIHC looks at less expensive project option. And, Hawk going home to play friend.

Can you tell this is a college town?

"If it bleeds, it leads!" as they say.

The most sensational news stories always take up the front page, simply because, if they want to keep bringing you the news, they have to sell the paper to people first.

But don't worry... here's some headlines you will never see:

RICH PEOPLE GET SCREWED BY NEW TAX LEGISLATION!

KITTENS CROSS ROAD UNHURT!

RELIGION APOLOGIZES TO DARWIN!

POPE SAYS GAY "OK!"

WHITE COLLAR EXEC ARRESTS TO BE FEATURED ON "COPS!"

CEO LOSES EVERYTHING! WORKERS DIVY UP "GOLDEN PARACHUTE"
