While conducting my never-ending search for cheerful news, I noticed that one of New York’s senators made the Top 10 in a list of the 50 most beautiful people on Capitol Hill.

The second piece of good news is that it was not Chuck Schumer. Congratulations, Kirsten Gillibrand!

Additional happy tidings: The gulf oil spill doesn’t look as bad as we thought. Although you never can tell what’s going on deep down below. Surface appearance is not everything. Do you hear that, Senator Gillibrand?

Finally, I am happy to report that Chelsea Clinton is getting married on Saturday. Perhaps you hadn’t heard.
