Key words from News Headlines

Just for fun, I am going to list some words that pop out for me as I scan the daily headlines on my news feed. Of course, I'm doing the selecting so, yes, it is biased. I have alphabetized the words so they are not in context. Also, I have only included two or more words when they are quoted ('xxx') or when it is a person's name. Also, I made pop tunes one word!

But, it occurs to me that these words pretty much sum up our world right now. There is the Good (lullabies, sculpture, etc.), the Bad (Boy George, your choice), and the Ugly (Chemical Ali, bail-out, death, etc.)

Mostly Bad and Ugly I would say.

Noticably missing is Obama, U.S., et al. This was a feed from the UK after all.

Let me know what you think.
