Here’s What We Learned During the Super Bowl
Read MoreHere are twenty things we learned from this year’s Super Bowl:
Wynn-Lose: Steve Wynn Flip-Flops Again on Online Gambling
Read MoreLet’s make one thing clear.
Steve Wynn was in favor of online gambling long before he opposed it. Big time. As in so enthusiastically in favor of online gambling (and poker specifically) that he once signed up for a strategic business partnership with PokerStars.com. You remember PokerStars, don’t you? The world’s largest online poker site based over on the Isle of Man?
Now it appears Wynn has changed his mind. Again.
My Cat “Alex” Predicts the Super Bowl Winner
Read MoreYou know Alex.
He’s our 12-year-old ginger boy, adopted from a homeless shelter in Washington, D.C. when he was a kitten. He’s the only cat in history to have played a hand of poker at the old Binion’s Horseshoe, which happened a few months before the place closed down.
Alex is retired now and living comfortably in Las Vegas. He spends most of his life sleeping.
Here’s What Happens After Sheldon Adelson’s Arguments Get Body Slammed
Read MoreSheldon Adelson is one of the world’s richest people. He’s the majority owner of the Las Vegas Sands Corporation, which owns and operates The Venetian. He’s become online poker’s most outspoken opponent, launching what amounts to a smear campaign of lies and gross misrepresentations against online gaming, and poker players. Adelson has even gone as far as to claim poker is not a game of skill. “Just a bunch of baloney,” he says.

Read MoreAbout the Winter Weather
Read MoreListen up you rust belt ass hats. Any joker with a pulse and a tank of gas can drive in a foot of snow. That’s easy. When it snows a foot or more, it’s like sand. Pretty much like driving in Arizona. Your driving skills aren’t superior to everyone else’s. You’ve just got good road traction, and maybe some snow chains. It’s not you, dummy.
The Pyramids Were Built by Idiots
Read MoreThe pyramids were built by fools. Idiots.
People Props: The Dumbing Down of America
Read MoreThe very fact that we have come to expect the State of the Union to entertain us like some kind of Stephen Spielberg movie, while Washington suffers from its lowest approval ratings in history, illustrates the disconnect between imagery and reality.
The Worst Star-Spangled Banner Performances of All-Time
Read MoreMany Americans think our National Anthem should be changed.
They insist “The Star-Spangled Banner” isdifficult to sing, which is true. They insist the song penned by Francis Scott Key during the War of 1812 glorifies violence, which is true. They say there are far better arrangements of music that symbolize our national aspirations, such as “America the Beautiful,” which is true.
Indeed, there are a number of very valid reasons why the current National Anthem makes no sense at all.
But there’s also a very good reason why we should keep it.
