Mistaken identities and shadowy figures are often used as plot contrivances in movies and other stories.

The Bailout Con Game: The Rude Pundit is not going to pretend he knows the ins and outs of the economics behind the Wall Street apocalypse. But he does know crooks, clowns, and con artists, and this fucked-up bailout is rank with all three. It's a fuckin' grift.

The easy answer is because the Bush admi

FiveThirtyEight.com are making their way through the United States' swing states. Sean Quinn, a blogger and poker pro, picked up Brett Marty, a professional photographer from San Francisco, to document the trip with some remarkable photos. I know that I'm, at best, an amateur photographer and to see his shots make me wonder why I even try sometimes (after this election, I'm taking a photography course). But the point is, they were in New Mexico for a couple days this week, and were lucky enough

American roulette, which is played with two zeros, is derived from the original French version, played with only one zero. Casinos particularly like the American version because it is cheaper to run than French roulette and only needs one dealer to operate the game.

At one end of the table a wheel encased in a wooden cylin
