Help Wanted

I have occasionally been criticized for focusing only on the bad news coming out of Iraq. That's true to an extent, but what else can I do when there seems to be nothing but bad news out there? Well, complain no more. There's finally some good news to pass along: Despite the difficulties of rebuilding that poor wartorn nation, there is at least one business that is not only expanding, but actually tripling its capacity.

The morgue in Baghdad is constructing two additional branches and adding refrigerator trucks in an effort to accommodate the city's skyrocketing body count. They are also looking to hire more doctors to handle the surge in execution style killings.

So there you have it: Construction in Baghdad is up, and employment rates are rising. Now that's something President bush can point to with pride.
