Wow, this blows Power Thirst out of the water. They should put a special sound chip in the can so when you tilt it, it does the "filling energy meter" sound from the NES games.

This information is probably accurate, but we'll see for sure.
And so I go to download a completely classic from start to finish game.
...63 Megabytes?! What's this garglemess? It should have been more like 128 kilobits, tops! How the heck does this game take up that much space? It's true, people don't know how to space save like they used to.
Long story short, get it for 360, not Wii. Your Wii probably is already close to full as it is.

I certainly admit that I'm not very good at understanding economic issues, but even so, I don't quite see how doing nothing will help... "government is the problem, not the answer" is just something I completely disagree with. Government is sometimes a problem, but not always. And there doesn't seem to be much of an alternative to doing this... things are going to be really bad either way, but it'll be even worse without this deal. The record 777-plus (the number just keeps going up...) point DOW loss (and even worse losses in credit markets, evidently) is a sign of that.
Hopefully the bill will eventually pass, I think... it is an incredibly large amount of money at stake, but what alternative do we have?
