Woman Shot in Head, makes Tea
Article on Comcast
A woman was shot in the head by her husband, who then turned the gun on himself. It went right through her head, dead center and when the deputy showed up, she had made and offered him tea. Apparently luck is now God's work, because it was a miracle according to her.

Pirate Bay Owners Jailed
Article on CNN
Somehow they lost the case, even though they host nothing locally. Maybe if the music / movie industry stopped producing expensive crap people would stop pirating it. I had a discussion with someone on a forum, who pirates games from every company except from Valve, because besides a handful of other companies, like Blizzard, most companies pump out unoriginal, over priced shit and don't even patch or release new content. Hmm, seems if you actually spend time on a product and make it original, people are willing to buy it.
Lol @ this comment "There is NO moral ambiguity to this question. It may be easy for some to justify the theft of an intangible object but it's still stealing just the same. When artists prosper from their creations they are afforded the time and means to create new and innovative products. Without this ability the quality of these products diminishes greatly. How much time will they have to create the music, films, video games, etc we love while supporting themselves through other means?" Hardly anyone famous pumps out anything new or innovative. Movies are all the same old, same old.

Illegal Immigrants Detained, then given right to work
Article on CNN
Cops storm some work place with lots illegals and detain them. However, since this is during Obama's term, there's a lot of controversy, and some stupid bitch "Homeland Security Secretary" Janet Napolitano, declares she will get to the bottom of this. She said that they are only supposed to raid places that intentionally exploit illegal labor. The illegals were released and got visas to work here, as illegal immigrants. Change has indeed come to ammerica.
I have to agree with Ira Mehlman of the Federation for American Immigration Reform, when she asked, "Get to the bottom of what? Law enforcement officers enforcing the law?" An illegal immigrant is an illegal immigrant. It doesn't and shouldn't matter how he was employed in the U.S.

Within the next week we should be seeing the new Survival Mode for Left 4 Dead. You hold out for as long as you can in a static location. Valve says they will have leader boards for it, so the longest surviving teams get the spotlight.
Valve posted a graph showing the spawn times for various infected:
Appearently, anything past ~10 minutes will be impossible to survive.

"We are going to make travel in this country leaner and a whole lot cleaner"
Article on CNN
Obama revealed his plans for a national network of high speed passenger rail ways today. The budget for this is mostly included in the $787 Billion bailout, however another $5 Billion will be part of the 2010 budget. The trains will travel up to 150 mph and connect much of America.
Hopefully this can get some jobs going and have a positive impact on the environment, while reducing our dependency on foreign oil by taking cars off the road and lowering highway congestion.
