My idle thoughts, musings and shirty commentary. Monday, November 03, 2008. The US Elections: the Polls. In recent weeks virtually every single poll has put Barack Obama in the lead (there was a poll that said otherwise but that turned out to be Zogby playing with. However this corner cutting can produce misleading results from time to time. For example Tom Bradley failed to become Governor of California not because moderate democrats were lying to the pollsters about their willingness to vote for a ...

My idle thoughts, musings and shirty commentary. Friday, December 24, 2004. A Tranzrail Insider Trading development. The Securities Commission's case. Against David Richwhite and others for insider trading at Tranzrail scored its first win when one of the defendants, Michael Beard, cut a deal.
