Smith enters rehab, therapy
An ailing Rev. Smith checked himself into rehab
this week, and scheduled regular meetings with a therapist
after finding himself unable to continue working at
the computer without moderate
pain and chronic wrist soreness. "I'm at the
end of my rope," stated a melodramatic Smith, "I
have hit rock bottom." Smith has been diagnosed
by his primary care physician with Repetitive Strain
Injury and will be taking several weeks off from The
Brick Testament to attend physical therapy at a
local hand rehabilitation clinic. Smith says he is "on
the road to recovery", and says to expect new illustrated
Bible stories in January 2008.

Americans no longer shocked
by mass shootings
The two mass shootings this week at a Nebraska
shopping mall and a Colorado church caused terrible
grief and confusion for those directly affected, but
failed to trigger a sense of shock and dismay among
the American public. Experts believe the regularity
of such tragedies has caused a collective numbing. "It's
like the way most Americans today feel nothing as they
read in the local newspaper about fatal car accidents
from the previous 24 hours," says psychologist
Mort Donovan. "People now are more surprised if
six months pass without a young middle class
American male shooting a semi-random selection of 5
to 25 people."
