Friday's story ideas

Eighteen states are suing the EPA for failing to limit emissions on vehicles.

Fourteen billion dollars to collect census data, and the government can't create a computer program that can count. Explain why we need to have a census in the first place. (Hint: it has a lot to do with politics.)

College online. With crazy gas prices, students are finding this method a great way to save money.

Several states are considering lowering the drinking age.

Electric or old fashioned push lawn mowers are growing in popularity. Yet another way to save on gasoline.

Car check. Visit with a mechanic to find out how to make sure your brakes aren't likely to go out, like Jerry Seinfeld's.

Tanning parlors. Incredibly, these places still exist and proponents are advertising the benefits of tanning beds. Talk about the dangers of skin cancer.
