Leftovers: 14-To-21 Year Olds, Dude

• Daily News senior writer Sandra Shea -- who "makes sense of the big issues facing the city - and its taxpayers," according to her tagline -- says that not enough area companies have signed up with a program she wrote about that gives internships for 14-to-21 year old kids. Sound like a good program, but here's the caveats. First, that's a very odd age group for an internship program. 21-year-olds are ready to enter the workplace (or already in it) and 14-year-olds are still in high school. Second, how many has the Daily News hired? She doesn't say, and -- whoop whoop whoop, actual reporting alert -- DN editor Michael Days couldn't be reached at press time. [DN]

• Daily News again: The paper did a poll of boxing experts and asked them for their top 10 Middleweight fighters ever. Bernard Hopkins, who's fighting his last fight today, made only a few lists, and the #1 ranked boxer on 4 out of 6 lists was Harry Greb. Helpfully, the paper provides a good guide to Harry Greb, saying the fighter had a record of 260-120-19. Well, that's not a very good record. [Daily News]

• Legal MJ! Well, kinda. New Jersey is debating a law to legalize medicinal marijuana. Montel Williams is even for it. Gov. Corzine is for it. Hopefully, it'll pass and some people with cancer/MS/etc. will be able to feel a little better. [Inquirer]

• Rick Santorum is changing around the words in the audio version of his book. Ha. [Attytood]

• An analyst has declared a "somber" season in the second half of this year, chiefly due to the company that owns Macy's. Yes. [Reuters/Yahoo!]

• And, finally: Puppy! Aww, yay and whatnot. (It's a Cavalier King Charles spaniel.) [Flickr]
