I think you&apos;ll find that the company that takes these bets is not in America...</description>

		<description>If possible, always link the thing itself: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.betonsports.com/1024/displaylines.shtml?sportbook=&amp;sport=Politics&amp;id=3887&quot;&gt;Politics&lt;/a&gt;--all you have to do is right click on the pop-up, scroll down to Properties and click on that and then cut-and-paste the URL there to put in the link window. Always test the link--I clicked on the BETonSports banner, first time through.

&lt;i&gt;11:50 PM 19089 Will N Korea host the UN General Assembly before 12-31-03? Yes  +15000 

11:50 PM 19091 Will G Bush go on vacation in N Korea before 12-31-03? Yes  +15000 &lt;/i&gt;

H&apos;mm, wonder how many bets  they&apos;ve taken on these?

&lt;i&gt;11:50 PM 19093 Will N Korea dictator Kim Jong II and Michael Jackson hold a concert in Pyonyang to promote world peace before 12-31-03? Yes  +15000 &lt;/i&gt;

Now there&apos;s an axis of evil for you.</description>
