Unless they are congressmen. Then they can not be tried for insider trading. They voted themselves to be above the insider trading law. It is good to be king.

Did anybody think that the drop in voters might be because of the lack of a presidential election. There is always a huge difference in the voter turn out when the election is in an off year. Now to compare it correctly you would have to wait till the next pres. election and see what the turn out is to get the correct numbers on how electronic voting is going. For the nay sayers, this was a great year for it. The stats prove it, but not really. The lack of numbers shows it is because of the lack of a pres. election.

US ISPs Using Push Polling To Stop Cheap Internet 417
An anonymous reader writes "What happens when a new ISP is started somewhere in the United States that completely blows out of the water all the other ISPs in the area, in terms of price and performance? Apparently, that question is being answered in North Carolina, where Greenlight Inc., a company started by a city government, is trying to offer faster, more reliable, and cheaper Internet service to the local residents. Time Warner and Embarq can't compete. So they are not only lobbying the state government to destroy the upstart competition, but are now using push polling methods to gain support, across the two cities that could benefit from the new ISP, for the 'Level the playing field' legislation they got introduced in the legislature." A local news outlet provides coverage more friendly to the incumbents' point of view.
