Catching up on the news...

So I know that I am not the most informed person in this world. During the beginning of this year I was so busy with new teacher things that I had no clue what was going on in the world. Now that the school year is winding down I have been trying more and more to read the news. It is discouraging though when I go to cnn.com and the top stories are about odd colored lobsters, the loch ness monster, and crawling baby races. Seriously? This is news? Nothing on the warin Iraq, world hunger, or something else of more relevance? Maybe I didn't miss anything this year afterall...
