My odd article of the week is about a man that was sent to jail for cutting the ears off of dogs. While he was in jail though, he got into a fight with another inmate and had his ear bitten off by the inmate. The man that was charged with animal cruelty was named Rony Salman. He lived in Windsor.
Here is a link to the article.

I think that his is really funny and ironic.

My article is about how the federal bailout may include the Big Three car companies (General Motors, Ford Motor and Chrysler LLC) or if it won't. This article includes seven different questions that are being asked by the public about the plan.

I didn't even know that these three companies are starting to go down hill. It is crazy to think that these major companies are suffering as bad as everyone else. I don't think that they should accept them because that's just more money that the US is in debt and it doesn't allow them to help bail out other companies. Also, the companies could combine with other companies and that could help with both of their debt.

My article is about how some companies don't want the nation's treasury to help bail them out. Cullen/Frost Bankers from San Francisco says that they are not going to accept any help from the treasury, even though they are $14.1 billion in debt. The main group that is providing the money is the Treasury Department's Troubled Assets Relief Program, or TARP. They have given around 14 banks funds.
