Articles for Episode 227: Terrorists, Taxes and Truths

It seems like we do this a lot. The media, working to keep viewers and ratings, focus on loud things that mean little. While the press is off investigating South American shenanigans, we're looking closer to home tonight. We're talking about taxes and Earth Day.

Here are the articles we've got lined up for tonight:

• Taliban commander turns self in... for reward on ‘Wanted’ poster
• The other primary: Obama on brink of clinching Democratic nomination
• The People Don't Know Their True Power
• Obama paid lower tax rate than secretary
• Barack Obama's 'Buffett Rule' dies in the Senate
• CHAIRMAN RYAN STATEMENT ON THE DEMOCRAT-CONTROLLED SENATE’S EMBARRASSING BUDGET SPECTACLE
• Republicans eye health plan should court overturn reform
• 'Acts of Green' urged as Earth Day is celebrated around the world
• Earth Day: Would you buy a $60 energy-efficient light bulb?
• Unearthing the Truth Behind Environmental Regulations

And those articles that didn't make it in the list. They're good reading as well, just didn't match the theme of the episode:

• Gas Prices On Catalina Island Pass $7 Mark
