Good news of the day...?

Todays headlines : We've killed the dolphins! The Yangtze river dolphin was declared extinct today. Really sad news, and I hope it's not true. But just like the Tassie tiger, I'm guessing it's gone.

Interest rates go up, again! I haven't heard from the bank yet, but it's probably only a matter of minutes before they put my mortgage rate up again. Great... But John Howard seems to have apologised for the rate rise, even though he's blaming someone else. So he's sorry for something he says he didn't do? In what world does that make sense?
