Boy aren’t we all so sick and tired of this game concept. You know the one. You control the schoolgirl riding a bike that slams into some innocent guy at top speed and sends him flying into your friends who either do super Ha-Do-Ken style punches to help send him further or slow him down by getting in the way and dying. Wait a sec, that sounds awesome! Check out Nanaca Crash if you feel like burning the next 2-3 hours trying to beat my 1,492m record!

Domestic spying continues to spiral out of control this week as two ABC reporters were told by a secret government source that their calls were being tracked by government agents:

A senior federal law enforcement official tells ABC News the government is tracking the phone numbers we (Brian Ross and Richard Esposito) call in an effort to root out confidential sources.

“It’s time for you to get some new cell phones, quick,” the source told us in an in-person conversation.

The piece appeared on ABC’s The Blotter as well as the Chicago Tribune.

The reason given for the tracking is an attempt to stop leaks of information from getting out of inner government circles. While leaking of classified information is a serious problem, is it any wonder that the press is relying on internal sources during such a tight-lipped administration? If this has a chilling effect on what little investigative reporting is still happening in this country, the citizens could be left with no independently gathered information at all.
