Governor of my home state of Illinois, Rod Blagojevich, finally found himself in the custody of the FBI today. After all of the things that that weasel has gotten away with since his election in 2003, it is nice to see that karma is a bitch. What finally got him caught was his trying to "sell to the highest bidder" the Senate seat up for grabs because Obama is now President-elect.
More jobs are being slashed. Sony is letting go of 8,000 jobs or 4% of its workforce. It seems no industry is immune to this financial hurricane racking the US economy (and consequently the world economy as well).
There are pirates attacking both cargo and commercial vessels off the coast of Somalia. They already have 12 ships in their custody, asking for ransom. Ships are either arming themselves, being escorted by military ships and/or personnel, or avoiding sailing in the Gulf of Aden altogether.
The faltering economy is making computer piracy and fraud a more attractive source of income for people. It proves the saying that people will do anything for a buck, including perpetrating fraud and infiltrating computer networks.
I wish I could find the person who said "may you live in interesting times." I would punch them in their mouth for uttering such blasphemy.
