Right now they have Hillary as the winner and if you place a $10 bet on her to win you win $1.30. The same bet on Trump gets you a little more and if you bet on Gary Johnson you would be rich. They also have assorted bets on Senators and a bet about possible impeachments after the election. As far as I know this is the first time a Government controlled lottery/gambling commission has taking bets on an Election and I'm not sure if it's a good idea. Maybe that type of betting should be left to the Bookies in the street because there is more of a Trickle down effect with the money in play. Cheers and happy weekend! less

Seems that if Wikileaks can release emails, the media is also willing to release information they find in video interviews. Since Wikileaks has been accused of releasing information hacked by the Russians, the information has not been confirmed. With videos, you have proof the person said something. They could change their minds if they admit they said those things. Some people have and apologized. So what is good for the goose has to be good for the gander. less

In October 2014, HRC did a paid speech in NYC for Deutsche Bank. I wrote her a long riff about economic fairness and how the financial industry has lost its way, precisely for the purpose of having something we could show people if ever asked what she was saying behind closed doors for two years to all those fat cats. It's definitely not as tough or pointed as we would write it now, but it's much more than most people would assume she was saying in paid speeches. (Full transcript is attached and key riff is pasted below.) Perhaps at some point there will be value in sharing this with a reporter and getting a story written.""I think we could come up with a vanilla characterization that challenges the idea th... less
