WICOMICO CHURCH, Va. (AP) -- A 6-year-old Virginia boy who missed his bus tried to drive to school in his family's sedan - and crashed. His parents were charged with child endangerment. The boy, whose name wasn't released, missed the bus, took the keys to his family's 2005 Ford Taurus and drove nearly six miles toward school while his mother was asleep, police said. The boy told police he learned to drive playing Grand Theft Auto and Monster Truck Jam video games. "He was very intent on getting to school," said Northumberland County Sheriff Chuck Wilkins. "When he got out of the car, he started walking to school. He did not want to miss breakfast and PE." The boy and his 4-year-old brother were placed in protective custody. "This really is a story of miracles," Wilkins said. "The Lord was with him, along with everybody else on the highway." ...

Throat Polyps

By: Liv, Team News Reporter

So I can barely speak these days. I'm not sure what it is. It's actually been going on for some time, and I'm beginning to wonder about throat polyps after an acquaintance of mine suggested it could be my problem. So I spoke to my doctor last week, and I have a referral for Greensboro's ENT, and I'm hoping it gets better. I had her write me out for a week due to the inability to speak, and the fact my job consists of talking all day. I immediately filed a short-term disability with our companies provider: Cigna. So I called this morning and it's still pending. I called my boss, and she's like... I don't know what you're to do. So tomorrow with still a bad throat, I'm going to show up at work, and try to battle through the day with no voice. If it wasn't for the health care, I'd step down and do some resting... this last week has done me wonders.... It's just in this day and age, I'm so scared of not being able to procure a replacement job for the one I have now. I know I'm worth so much more, and my plan is to begin looking again, it's just that, most jobs unfortunately suck... and are no better then the one I've got...

NC's Family Crime

By: Liv, Team News Reporter

JACKSONVILLE, N.C. (AP) -- A man who police said was shot by his stepfather ended up in the same jail with him after officers discovered outstanding arrest warrants against the victim. Police told The Daily News of Jacksonville that 37-year-old Richard Hayes shot his stepson Thursday night. Authorities say 21-year-old Michael Bass was holding a bloody towel to his abdomen when paramedics arrived, saying his stepfather shot him. Deputies then discovered Bass had outstanding warrants for failing to appear in court and took him to jail after he was treated and released from the hospital. Police said Hayes told investigators he has a bad neck and shot his stepson because he thought Bass wanted to fight him. The men remain in jail. It's unclear if they have attorneys.

People get the Government They Deserve

By: Liv, Team News Reporter

Okay, I'm not sure who said it originally... but it was a quote used in "24: Redemption" which really got me thinking. I tried to do a little bit of searching for the orgin and came up with different variations and different authors from Jefferson to Washington, to Russian leaders. It's when I first heard it last night though, the context which I took it in that really had me thinking. I heard this:

The citizen's of a country and their actions good, bad, or greedy- malicious, or otherwise will get the type of Government they so deserve in return.

As to say, since we're all a bunch of greedy, capitalists.... George W. Bush was exactly what we need. Almost to say, that:

Our Government is a direct (mirrored) reflection of ourselves as a whole

Meaning, communist deserve communism, Socialists deserve socialism, and so on and such. It really gave me something to think about. A sort of national Karma if you will, which is oddly something I personally am often
