Lately there seems to have been a spate of headlines that state the completely and utterly obvious. Today there's a story on CNN, and the head you click to get to it is "Valentines Day Isn't Always Happy." - Duh!
And earlier this week was a headline "Alzheimer's Hard on Spouses, too."

What gives? Do we need news articles to tell us the patently obvious? Or should the editors writing the headlines be given a week of to recharge their collective brains?
