Monday's story ideas

Fed rate cut. Will America get an early holiday gift from the powers that be? We should know this week.

Smokers who eat three servings of broccoli or cabbage per month are 73 percent less likely to get bladder cancer. This, if course, DOES NOT mean it is okay to keep smoking... but it does illustrate the power of the vegetable.

Celebrity endorsements of politicians. Do people really vote for someone because Oprah, George Clooney or Chuck Norris tells them to do so?

What are the hot toys for Christmas? (Besides the ones without lead.) And how hard is it to find them? Are people willing to pay a premium to fill a kid's Christmas wish?

Green shopping (via the Internet or catalogues) saves gas and the environment.

Gas fireplaces. Some are used with the flue closed, some with it opened. Some gas logs are banned in some states. Some say using them can be bad news if you suffer from asthma.
