In the News
Time for another rendition of In the News! Here are the stories that caught my eye recently:
- Bad tomatoes: Surely everyone has heard the news by now. Reports of a salmonella outbreak from tomatoes are everywhere. But is it really as bad as it seems? Check out this msnbc article, Did food sellers overreact to tomato scare?
- Talk about a bad decision: In the article Tatum O’Neal released after NYC drug bust, also from msnbc, one of my favorite actresses from my childhood (who was a child herself when I was) gets busted trying to buy crack cocaine.
- Finally, single moms get the hook-up: After so many nauseating episodes of shows like The Bachelor, Flavor of Love, Rock of Love, and other such reality dating shows, single moms are getting the chance to find love, as the world watches. Check out Single Moms Struggle to Find Mr. Right on the abc news site.
- Then why are so many getting left behind?: Time magazine looks at the law that has many of my educator friends up in arms with No Child Left Behind: Doomed to Fail?
- Cruelty reaches new heights: I can't even bring myself to watch the video that accompanies this story: Chilling video of hit-and-run accident released.
