I have so many books to read (and hopefully review). Admittedly, I obsess over books, especially biographies. A collection of books is like a wine cellar for the mind.
I just started the Willie Nelson autobiography, “It’s a Long Story.” It’s hard for me to think of anyone who has experienced a more interesting life with so many incredible folksy stories than Nelson. I’m only a few chapters in, so far, and there have been times when I just had to stop cold. Put the book down. Ponder. Think a bit more. Absorb. Take it in. Then, continue.
To me, that’s a *great* book.

Read MoreWho knows what backroom deals Trump is swindling right now with Saudi Arabia, Russia, corrupt oligarchs, or anyone else who will slip him money under the table (certainly in exchange for something). Does ANYONE doubt that he’d sell our secrets to raise millions to get out of the shitshow he created through his own idiocy and incompetence? If so, let me know — I’ve got a $400 pair of gold-plated sneakers to sell you.

Here’s my new article at casinos.com on bans against prop betting on college athletes.
“The pushback against college prop betting continues to gain momentum. Encouraged by their regulatory successes, proponents of such bans are likely to take the fight into more states – and likely win. The impetus to protect college athletes from external pressures is strong, and no organization is more powerful than the NCAA, especially in states where college football and basketball are king. By contrast, sports gamblers have no lobbying organization. Even the casino industry is unlikely to fight much on behalf of such a small sliver of market share interest.”
