2/24

1. Have you heard of these internet addiction centers for kids? They take them out to the woods, have them live and play together. Really? Is this how they’re selling summer camp now? I hear they also have a great program for overcoming fear of abandonment. It’s called ‘hide and go seek’.

2. A new study says that smoking makes people look older. But isn’t that why most people start smoking? Be careful what you wish for.

3. More and more kids are moving back in with their parents because of the recession. And a third of retirees now have to help their kids pay for bills. Like Bush.

4. Spain agreed “in principle” to take some Muslim inmates from Guantanamo. This is a change from four hundred years ago. Maybe they’re trying to make amends for that whole Inquisition thing.

5. The head of the federal reserve said that the recession might last into 2010. And immediately, the stock markets bounced back, because Wall Street thought it would last way longer than that.
