...trousseau. I am sure this offends many of you, and this doesn’t bother me. If you grew up in Rhode Island, home to four electoral votes and the only state in the union to have a mayor, a governor and two Supreme Court justices all in jail at the same time, I doubt you would vote either.Though I feel incapable of assessing any of the candidates’ positions on healthcare or campaign finance reform, I do feel I can offer them some fashion advice.

...guns and more than 40,000 wire snares have been turned in to COMACO, and many former poachers are now being retrained as wildlife guides. (Lewis notes that it costs a little more than $200 to retrain a poacher, but as much as $800 to catch, arrest and jail him.)

And if not, what made a quiet trader - whose Facebook page had just 11 friends - engage in a gargantuan con job and risk years in jail? Those answers might have to wait for Kerviel's trial. Or perhaps for another movie along the lines of the 1999 film Rogue Trader, which portrayed Leeson's extraordinary operation. And should you wish to try and make some money yourself, Leeson has been quoted by one British bookie...
