1. This week, we all watched New York's governor resign after a prostitution bust. Did it seem like good news to you, bad news or no news?
2. Former vice presidential candidate Geraldine Ferraro also resigned from Hillary Clinton's finance committee after she said Sen. Barack Obama "would not be in this position" if he were white or a woman of any color. Her comments, the reaction, her resignation -- was it good news, bad news or no news?
3. The owner of a McDonald's franchise in a growing Asian Los Angeles suburb has remodeled it using feng shui. Owner Mark Brownstein says he wanted to boost sales, so he hired a feng shui master to design waterfalls, wooden ceilings and doors that "confuse the evil spirits and keep the good spirits in." Does this strike you as good news, bad news or no news?
4. A Boulder, Colo., woman says she wanted to raise awareness of breast cancer, so she dyed her white poodle pink using beet juice and Kool-Aid. This violated a Boulder ordinance designed to stop people from dyeing rabbits and chicks for Easter, and so she faces a $1,000 fine. Is that good news, bad news or no news?

Great show! I listen almost every Saturday on WKSU. Love the Good News - Bad News - No News segment, except for Dana's sarcasm. Light hearted banter - yes, anger-laden sarcasm - No! Its a downer. Lighten up, dude!
