Current events

We talked about three stories that are pretty certain CE quiz questions:

— Obama announces a new stimulus proposal

— Obama says he won't support a compromise to allow the Bush tax cuts on families with incomes of more than $250,000 to continue (notice I used "more than" rather than "over," its an AP style thing)

— The general leading U.S. forces in Afghanistan says the Koran-burning event in Florida endangers the troops

You'll find plenty of coverage on these stories at www.nytimes.com

You'll find a local story with a good shot at making the cut here:

Judge nixes relocating trial for boat crash.

We spent a lot of time talking about this story when it happened a year ago. Scroll down to posts from the fall 2009 for more background if you're interested.

See you Friday.
