Should America Care About Britney Spears?
Britney Spears' parents expressed shock that their daughter was released from a Los Angeles psychiatric hospital on Wednesday, against the recommendation of her treating psychiatrist.The Associated Press reports that Spears' father, Jamie, who was named as his daughter's conservator on Monday, was also against the release, and in a joint statement released Wednesday with ex-wife Lynne Spears, the couple said they were "extremely disappointed" to learn that their 26-year-old daughter had been allowed out. Britney had been placed under a 14-day hold at the hospital, under which she could not be released unless she legally demanded it or her doctor deemed her ready for outpatient treatment.
Sigh.

Posted by: Anthony at February 7, 2008 04:23 PMIn as much as her name is an anagram for Presbyterians, I think the PCA should spend at least a little time making sure that God isn't "bible-coding" a message to us through the tabloidal world of pop-culture.
Dear PCA,
Be your baby momma!!
Love,
God
Her train wreck of a life hits home for me, and I pray for her, as I've got relatives suffering from the same kind of issues. It ain't pretty, and her parents are rightly appalled at what happens with treatment. My brother-in-law has a knack for getting out of treatment while he's still manic, much to the distress of his wife. It happens with alarming regularity.
