Cheney/CIA
Democrats are criticizing former Vice President Dick Cheney for initiating a CIA counter-terrorism program that was kept secret from Congress.

My parents joined Facebook
Social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter and MySpace have traditionally been thought of as hang outs for younger adults and teens. But in recent months, older generations have been invading their public privacy in record numbers. Women over 55 are currently the fastest growing Facebook population. Now, on top of worrying about what your boss might think of your online life, you have to fret about Mom keeping tabs on you. So what happens when you finally accept that “friend” request from your Dad, crazy aunt, or worse yet, your college roommate’s newly divorced mother? Larry talks with the creators of the new site My Parents Joined FaceBook.com and takes listener calls.
