RAW Links XXIX
R. Alex Whitlock
Masked revelers prefer Bush [via Judd]
An interesting look at as good a presidential predictor as any. And unlike most prediction models, this one actually picked 2000's winner. No, I'm not putting any stock in it, but find it amusing.

Flag football season gets under way
An extremely critical look at recent changes in NFL penalty rules. On one hand, higher scores are generally exciting and these new rules apparently favor the offense. On the other hand, penalties are dreadfully boring and I'd imagine 9 of 10 fans would rather see 15 yards gained any way other than through a yellow flag.


Kerry Tops Bush In MTV Poll

Not a particularly surprising result. What I do find interesting is that, once again, the ones less likely to vote actually favor the Republican instead of the Democrat. I've commented before that these kinds of results runs contrary to conventional wisdom, which states that if everyone voted, it would favor Republicans.

University of Texas [at Dallas] allows wireless Internet
The laws here are quite convoluted. If someone rents out property and wants to restrict wireless Internet, there is no reason, in my view, why they shouldn't. Even if they are a state university.

DJ's answer machine gives Romeos the brush-off
The article is on one in Moscow, Russia. There's actually a great one in the states, though it'd be hard for anyone outside of New York to pretend that a 212 number is their own. Anyone with a cell phone or that has unlimited long distance should really call 212-479-7990. It's hilarious.

Resource: Dales' Electoral College
Resource: Real Clear Politics
Two sites tracking the elections that matter -- the electoral college. They use different criteria but both are an extraordinary wealth of information.
