Schadenfreude

As a resident of California (budget, we don't need no steenkeen budget), I take great pleasure in Illinois suffering through a fiasco of governance almost as bad as our own. In your most Muppetish fashion now, "De-de-de, de-de de-de-de-de Blagojevich."

Obama wounds Internet

Connectivity seems to be improving, so it was apparently just a flesh wound as umpteen million people tried to watch the Inauguration online. I can't say I blame then, but it's times like this I dislike programs that have online docs that aren't copied to the local hard drive by default (hello Mercurial!).
