Help with my logic homework

Hi there. : ) I have to find an article written after august 31st in which at least one of the logic fallacies occurs (bandwagon, straw person, etc.) I didn't have much of a problem learning this in class, mostly due to the fact that the fallacies used in the examples were very blatant and hard to miss. However, finding an online article that has an example of logical fallacy is proving difficult for me, for whatever reason. I've been trying to stick to politics, as I feel that would be the easiest way to find an occurrence of common fallacies , but the article can be about anything. I was simply hoping someone knew of such an article or a good place to look for one. Thanks : D

Thanks for the help, guys. I forgot to mention that finding the fallacy is only part of the assignment. I then have to rewrite the fallacious statement without committing any fallacies of my own, then explain why my argument is stronger. Gah, this is hurting my head.
