Political proposition bets at Bodog

Shamelessly yoinked from Eric Pfeiffer at Wonkette:

The online sportsbook Bodog.com is taking political "proposition bets" on current events.

Right now, among the props you can wager on:
  • In President George W Bush's 2006 State of the Union address, how many times will the President say the word: Evil?

  • In President George W Bush's 2006 State of the Union address, how many times will the President say the words, "Space Terrorism"?

  • How many years will lobbyist Jack Abramoff be sentenced to prison on federal charges?
I've got my money on "6-9 times," "3 times," and "8 to 15 years," respectively.
