Alex, I posted on the election on the day of the election. However, it's not like the results were significant news, since Intrade already gave Obama a 93% chance of winning.

Compromising, I agree that this is a problem, and would estimate that it's only 300 times less worrying for me to be exposed to this in the domain of talking to hedge funds about rationality, versus my actual day job in AI. In other words, any income I get from this is a liberating factor with respect to my real job, which you should be vastly more worried about - though talking about rationality also counts for something.
