"A lot of people are singing about how screwed up the world is, and I don't think that everybody wants to hear about that all the time."- Mariah Carey

In case you're tired of all the press about elections, murders, and death, here's a sweet story about "snow-rain" in Baghdad.

In other awww news, there was a little boy on the tube doing magic tricks for his dad. You could clearly see his hand fisted as he hid the coin he'd later conjure up from behind his ear, but he was so happy to be pulling off the trick. It was clear his dad was eating it up. So cute. I found myself smiling involuntarily.
