Eh, I doubt there's as much money on those. And people seem to be in the mood to despise the senate and vote for the incumbents... which makes this pretty predictable, actually. Hm.

I can say with certainty that Bachmann isn't going to survive her next election.

House majority/breakdowns tend to have decent markets from what I remember of '10 and '12. Senate to a much lesser degree and IIRC only on the American dominated markets that got heavily skewed when the media took notice, then all their US customers banned for legal reasons. Some individual races might get you good odds if you can find a bookmaker willing to take the bet, but that's rare and you don't often get markets offered on such a small scale.

If she for whatever reason runs against Franken, no chance. If she stays where she is... I wish I had your certainty.

She just barely scraped by in one of the most conservative regions of America. She won't be able to pull it off twice.

With the Presidential elections far away, people might forget how crazy she is.

Hey guys, has anyone been checking the financial markets lately? Well, I was shocked to learn that the DOW AND the S&P 500 just broke their old records for all time highs!!!!!


WTF did we just timewarp back to early 2005 or something?

No. I suppose there are similarities, but I'm fairly certain angry birds doesn't let me charge into a battalion of knights with a car made of circular saws.

It's not surprising when you look at this chart:

The problem with automatically looking at stock prices for the health of your economy, is that excessive inflation will also drive up stock prices. Or it could be a bubble isolated to the stock market if other investment avenues are looking relatively poor.

Day by day, the usurper gets closer and closer to replacing the Bill of Rights with the whim of jackbooted UN thugs. I highly recommend you all look into shelters and gold and firearm stashes for the FEMA coup coming this summer. By the time the black helicopters start flying, it will already be too late.

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

The person supporting regenerating health, when asked why you can see when shot in the eye justified it as 'you put on an eyepatch'. When asked what happens when you are then shot in the other eye, he said that you put an eyepatch on that eye. When asked how you'd be able to see, he said that your first eye would have healed by then.
