"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." -- William Casey, Reagan's presidential campaign manager & CIA Director (from first staff meeting in 1981)

Anyone up for any friendly bets about the election?

I'll put one out there, if anyone wants to take me up on it. I'll bet you that Obama wins. I'll put a month of posting here on the line. You take the bet and win, I won't post here for a month.

What are your bets?

And anyone wanna take me up on mine?

Mitt Romney, introducing his running mate: "Join me in welcoming the next President of the United States, Paul Ryan!"

Rappy's response? "You're lying, gullible ( believing in some BS you heard on msnbc ) or hard of hearing."

I'll take your bet. And conversely, If Obama wins I will not post here for a month.

...A month of not posting drastically cuts the number of conversations that might take place on the board.

Those who offer to Not post here for a Month ...
must have an alternate plan.

Indeed, it seems to me rather a large wager.
Two days would be more reasonable.

Perhaps just confident in the outcome?

Note to anyone - Please pity the poor, poor wittle Rappyboy. He's feeling put upon lately, what with all those facts disagreeing with what he believes.

It also means who ever loses ducks out of the obligatory mockery phase and winner's parade. It is not really a punishment to lose this wager.

I once wagered that if the Large Hadron Collider finds dark matter, I'd post pictures of myself in a bikini. Now THAT'S a punishment.

Done. It's official.

I don't stand to lose much if I lose, since I really need to get on with some other projects.

And it doesn't mean I can't lurk; I just can't post.

Here's hoping I don't lose!

10:15pm, and even Fox has called it for Obama.

Damn, that was too easy.

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

So long bigdamn.
