It's a comically bizarre story, but it has larger implications that deserve to be taken very seriously. In February, Barr, CEO of cybersecurity consulting firm HBGary Federal, unwittingly picked a fight with the pro-Wikileaks band of hackers when he boasted in an online article that his company had successfully infiltrated Anonymous by trolling online social media and had gathered personal data on its members.

May 22 - A new poll shows that mitt Romney may have narrowed the gender gap between himself and Barack Obama somewhat in terms of voters -- he's only behind by about 7 percentage points, instead of 19 as he was earlier this year -- but the enthusiasm isn't translating to dollars for the campaign. May 21 - It was a bear market last month in terms of Wall Street's investment in the presidential race -- candidates and super PACs alike.
