Rod Hertzel asked:
 Does anyone have any recommendations for websites that have
humorous or uplifting news stories? 

Here's one I read:

www.thisistrue.com 

Here's their blurb:
====
Get a free subscription to weird news stories delivered once per week. 
Stories like... 
A man sued his doctor because he survived his cancer longer than the doctor
predicted. 
Two robbers were in the process of their crime when one changed his mind and
arrested the other. 
A woman had her husband's ashes made into an egg timer when he died so he
could still "help" in the kitchen. 
Only 68 of 200 Anglican priests polled could name all Ten Commandments, but
half said they believed in space aliens. 

This is True is a weekly syndicated newspaper column by Colorado humorist
Randy Cassingham. True reports on bizarre-but-true news items from legitimate
newspapers from around the world (never "tabloids"). Each story ends with
commentary by Randy -- a tagline which is humorous, ironic or opinionated. An
online pioneer, True has been publishing online weekly since June 1994. You too
can have such true stories of human weirdness sent to you once each week by
e-mail for free.
