in the news today

I read several articles today. One was about the projected increase of utility bills this winter. It is astonishing that the cost of everything that people need or use on a daily basis can sky rocket so dramatically. High gas prices didn't affect me too much, but my utility bills will.
I also read an article about President Bush's approval ratings. I think the extremely low approval ratings are rightly deserved. I think people are not pleased with some of his decisions and rhetoric. I am one of those people.
I will also admit I did read an article on the TomKat pregnancy.
One article I read was about Tamika Houston. She was a missing person who's remains were found almost a year later. The article was mainly about the fact that the media focuses more on white missing persons than minority missing persons. I believe this is true. It's sad that anyone is missing, everyone should recieve the same respect and coverage regardless of race.
