Kerry versus Bush, Bush versus Kerry, Cheney versus Edwards, the DNC, the RNC, the BLT, the Whopper with Cheese…blah blah blah…
It’s time that Americans start taking politics into their own hands. No, I don’t mean going to the polls and actually voting – puh-lease, that’s far too passe. I mean something far more American, far more capitalist, far more sNeAky…
Trading shares of politicians like you would trade stocks…
POLITISTOCK ^[1] IS BACK!
After it’s success in 2000, the creators (who happen to be chums of mine) have reintroduced www.politistock.com ^[1], the on-line political game where you buy and sell shares of politicians like you would your own stock (i.e., I’m going to sell 100 shares of Kerry at $15 a share). By playing the political market, you can influence the elections they way politicians have been doing so for years! WITH MONEY!
Well, you don’t actually play with real money (this is a game after all), but you do get to make trades, sell short, be subject to margin calls, participate in IPO’s (Initial Politician Offering), follow the market news, influence elections and claim bragging rights to the on-line game that, in 2000, was featured in the Wall Street Journal, and on MSNBC, CNN and other reputable news outfits.
I’ll take 50 shares of Marion Barry for $10 a crack pipe…
