Tuesday's story ideas

Drunk driving members of Congress. One of New York's is all over the papers. Might be interesting to dig into the police blotter and see how the pols in your market fare. Who has a police record?

Georgia sets first execution for this country in quite some time.

People can actually get addicted to nasal spray.

Rental car companies like Enterprise, Alamo and National, are offering "carbon offsets" to customers if they're willing to pay a little more.

The number of welfare recipients is on the rise for the first time since 1996.

Prisons are being hit by the economy and are saving money by releasing inmates early.

New bill being proposed requiring all American flags purchased by government agencies be made in the USA. Might be interesting to check the labels on some flags in prominent places in your market.

Bill being floated in Pennsylvania to restrict political "robo-calls" and put them in the same class as telemarketers. Will your state do the same before the next election?


And later today... tease writing
