Thursday's story ideas

Bang for a buck. More and more restaurants are offering items for an even dollar... and now Starbucks, home of the four dollar latte, will offer joe for a buck. Is it working?

Another rate cut by the fed. What will this do to the real estate business? And will it pay to refinance your mortgage?

Crossover voting. Many primaries allow this, and many voters do so to vote for the weaker candidate in the other party.

Are beauty pageants dying? With Miss America relegated to The Learning Channel (huh?) are these events a thing of the past?

Organic food for pets. We may buy Twinkies for ourselves, but Fluffy and Fido are getting the best.

Super Bowl story for Sunday (You'll have to set this up in advance). A few years ago I went into a supermarket the day after the game, and the deli department had proudly displayed the weight of cold cuts it had sliced. Might make a nice feature the morning of the game.
