viedma: I will rule the world! Emperor Cupcake! (grumpy old Mary)
Vali read it in the Chicago Tribune this morning, and i've seen it in the NYT, and it still seems like something the Onion would've written: Pentagon Abandons Plan for Futures Market on Terror. Get the Bush admin to spend $8 million on a project where you get to speculate (anonymously) on which terrorist event, assassination, etc. comes down the pipeline and win a prize. If i was a terrorist, one could make a pretty penny betting on myself. Which might have been what those jokers were thinking when they started this website. Oh well. We would've spent that 8 mil on something wacky like Head Start anyway.

i still think it might be a joke, but i'm linking it for myself just in case. i found it, lost it, and found it again and am not going to lose it.

it's been a crazy busy day. i haven't taken lunch yet. maybe i will someday.
