I found quite a number of articles that interested me this morning, but I was ripping around trying to get out of dodge so I didn't have time to post them. Here's a quick look:

1. For all the bloviating in the mainstream media that they don't have any bias, poll after poll seems to show that the average American doesn't believe them. MSNBC has an interesting article discussing a study they did regarding campaign donations among reporters which seems to lend further credence to the theory of a left-leading media.
2. Two 14-year old girls were kicked off a public bus in Portland, OR for kissing. Each other. One of their mothers is considering a lawsuit.
3. As if I wasn't sick enough of the Paris scandal, NBC is giving her $1M for a sit-down interview after her release. She'll only speak to Meredith Vieira because apparently Matt Lauer made "disparaging" remarks about her.
4. A column out of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution discusses the current energy bill under consideration in the Senate which some say looks to increase gas to $6/gallon by 2016. The bill also includes "$29 billion in new taxes on oil companies. The tax is to subsidize wind and solar power, hybrid vehicles and biofuel."
5. A Knesset member in Israel has proposed "'rehabilitation centers' to suppress the sexual tendencies of gay people." This in the wake of some pretty hefty verbal jousting over a plan to stage a Gay Pride parade through the holy city of Jerusalem. Actually, I just checked Stacy's site and the parade apparently happened today.
