why is the news so sad today?

in the words of whomever sings that song, don't they know it's christmas time at all?

anyway, this was sad but no new news there.

i saw an article - best quotes from models - and it had a picture of Miranda Kerr who I heart for her organic lifestyle. so i clicked but it was a huffpo article featuring quotes from models that were interpreted to mean that they were terrible people. like gisele's defense of tom brady at the superbowl ("oh but if we could all have handsome quarterback husbands to defend, thereby negating anything she says ever, and i'm not at all a gisele or tom brady fan). or janice dickenson saying that her wedding would make brangelina's look like a court ceremony (which i find funny more than arrogant but i guess some people find wedding trash talk to be the epitome of hubris - hey, she didn't say her marriage would last- just that the bash will be ridiculous and i see no problem with that). morale: women are catty. male models don't have these problems. anyway, no links.

this was surprising and perhaps happy but likely wrong. there's a link to the study and in the future, i intend on reading it and seeing if there's a new york times/maddow effect on the article - that is, reporting that a study says something it absolutely does not, based on a lack of reading comprehension or lack of care for facts and integrity.
