Buy more iPods

Sorry to be a buzzkill, but here's a sobering thought:

Almost 128,000 British kids will be homeless this Christmas Day, according to a new report published by a U.K. housing charity.

Estimates suggest that on any given night, about 1.2 million kids are homeless here in the U.S.

Meanwhile, people beat each other up for a chance at a cheap laptop during Wal-Mart's Christmas sales.

'Tis the season.

Cheap laptops may be okay, so long as they're not being used in someone's beachfront trophy home (the one used only on weekends).

I like the suggestion that no one should be allowed to have a second home until everyone has a first.
