KT, Why did Nevada slam dunk them? If it had something to do with the impact it might have on the local economy if everyone was betting online instead, then sooner or later they will figure out they are better off if the casinos are making the money as long as people are playing online anyway. Personally, I thought a lot of the anti-poker push came from the casinos because they'd like to work towards eventually regulating and legalizing it and then taking it over in the US. The Genie is out of the bottle, but I think there's going to be a huge effort to put it back in before the Feds realize they can't and wind up legalizing/regulating it.

If you live long enough! Last night on the local news in Florida, some nice man bought his daughter a new car for her birthday. He brings her to the dealership and presents her the keys. She losses her temper and starts screeming that the car is white and she hates the color. Gina says to me "that ungrateful bitch." I started laughing. She ask what is so funny? For Gina`s birthday in 1987 i bought her a new Toyota Cressida sadan. It was a surprise! Boy was i surprised! I took her to the dealership and gave her the keys to a royal blue sadan. She starts screeming you f`ing asshole,only a man would pick that color,yada,yada. 20 years for an apology,but it happened last night lol
