"Polishing of the Turds" comes to my Universe

I started to write about my date this past weekend, but decided that would be a serious mistake.
I have a second date, and this isn't a "my date review" blog. I am finally nurturing a social life outside of male bonding, and I don't want to screw it up.
The Running of the Bulls started today in Pamplona, Spain, and Yahoo news says 9 people were injured.
In the spirit of all the happy participants in the universe of blogs, I think we should all take the most awful news we can and make it nice and shiny! Lets have some happy Spin!

Below I have a basic sample of Turd Polishing for your consideration.

40 civilians did not perish violently from a suicide bombing outside the Indian embassy in Afghanistan, that would be a big smelly turd! Lets shine that turd up, and spray it with some cartoon world feel good polish. A couple of coats of Turd Polisher lacquer, and voila, we have a headline that says: At least 40 take express lane through gates of Heaven!


Now that is what I call Turd Polishing! I'm telling you, I could get a job at Fox news!

I read every post on Lehigh Valley Somebody last weekend, and that's where I got the "turd Polishing" idea, It wasn't theft of intellectual property, but inspiration for me! thanks Mrs Dottie! Something else that got me thinking this morning was when I try to read something and I get the headline scrambled in my brain.
Somehow, between John McCain Supports Housing Bill, and China wants Dog meat off menus during Beijing Olympics, I read:

John McCain Supports Dog meat on menus!

Is that disturbing or what? I wonder what ol' Sigmund Freud would have to say about that one?
