And actually, I wasn't finding the news I wanted to see in any of their 
categories... so, um, what does that say?

Maybe I only look for news of the weird, but actually, I was looking for 
Iraq stuff. I checked off and on for a few days after it first went up, and 
then since it wasn't giving me what I wanted, I stopped. World or US news 
didn't have it sitting on top, so obviously the algorithm isn't making new 
categories on the fly reflecting current themes? Or maybe only harmed 
humans can make those categories.
