Ted, I couldn't believe it until I went to the Web site itself. Wow, I wonder if I can create a "futures" market on who will be the next American Idol? What were they thinking? Someone said on the news tonite, the Pentagon believed it would be able to predict the next terrorist attack thru this new futures market. Crazy! This reminds me of that really annoying guy on late night TV commercials who wears a ridiculous Riddler jacket and hawks his book on how to take advantage of federal grants. The creators of this "Policy Analysis Market" must have bought the Riddler's book. I agree! Speaking of commericals, are they running those CA cow commercials in CA? The ones where the cows wig out remembering the winters they spent living in Wisconsin. They're so stupid, they're funny. ted
