Good news!

It's always nice to report good news:

Conusmer Confidence hits 6-year high

Closer to home, GM posts big Q2 profits. Granted, we still have a ways to go in North America...

The NY Times suddenly thinks we can win the war in Iraq... and Chris Matthews and his panel of liberals suddenly think we need to stick it out in Iraq a little longer. (You should definitely sit down to read the Matthews transcript or risk falling over from the shock)
