The margin between the major parties has been shrinking over the last 30 years, mostly due to ambivalence. It really matters less and less who you vote for as the deep pockets have already ensured that you have the choice of Tweedledee or Tweedledum, candidates who will do their bidding no matter what their party affiliation.

Here's my previous rant on the subject with U.S. presidential election data since 1980:

Obama: Maybe It's Time For Mandatory Voting In US

The statistics on the previous N coin-tosses will not tell you who will win on the N+1 toss.

But you still clicked the link and watched. Hmmm...

Fine, go ahead Russia, spend a chunk of your GDP and put some boots on the Moon and fact check the U.S.

Oh yeah, make sure to make some more nuclear missiles. That's not cheap either, but security!

But wait...weren't these exact activities what caused the USSR to bankrupt themselves back in the 90's? Just checking.

No hate Russia, but you need to rein in your rhetoric. You have been beaten by playing this hand before.

Sorry, have to say this...WHOOSH!

Here's why various moon rocks have gone missing:

Absolutely true. In addition to this increase, they'll have an additional line item on their bill, with some nebulous "shenanigans fee" label, which will handle the FCC fines just nicely.

I initially thought this was shopped, but you can see the angle change where there are tall buildings. That's pretty cool video for something taken at 250 miles (400 km) up travelling at 4.75 miles/second (7.6 km/s).

I predict next year, AT&T's rates will magically go up by $100,000,000 divided by the number of their customers.

AT&T now knows the cost of cheating; next to nothing. And they can now budget for it.

The winner here is AT&T.

..it's the only way to be...wait, oh damn, that won't work.

Never mind.

...the Power Shower (tm) Curtain!

That's right folks, you heard correctly...now you can sing along at high falsetto with your shower radio with the extraordinary power of a steamy shower and your grotty black-mold-covered flapping shower curtain!

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some paperwork to file at the USPTO and multiple-martini lunches with venture capitalists to schedule.

Capitalism FTW!

Well, I'll answer "as soon as someone else links your question to a random verb generator."

Until the Tequila Tanks ran dry. But that was still an impressive mission duration.

Oh God! HTTPS! I'm fucking invisible now! Thank you Slashdot! (SIGNAL LOST)....

Should have used Kapersky..

Oh, wait...nevermind

Because their customers run punching-bag OSs like Microsoft? This illustrates how fucking hard the problem of internet security is though. I don't believe a state sponsor did this; I'll bet it was one of the usual cast of scoundrels coupled with some social engineering at a weak point (maybe the new secretary at the front desk?). Big networks mean many points of potential weakness. When an infinite army of monkeys on computers wants in to your system, you cannot let your guard down for one freaking second, because the odds are eventually you are going to get pwned. The monkeys are occasionally smart.
