We used to enjoy the old Luxor location many years ago, so this was an instant “table for two” change of plans. T&T deserves far more love, and more customers. I hope spreading the word might help.

Let me address all the sports gambling experts out there.
Your “analysis” is pretty much worthless unless you also tell us WHY you like a pick. It’s that simple.
I want to hear your REASONING. I need to know if you UNDERSTAND what you’re talking about. I must hear IN YOUR OWN WORDS what compels you to make a pick. If your analysis is solid, then it has value to an audience.
Otherwise, your pick is a waste of time.

AMERICA’S POLITICAL GERONTOCRACY
It’s long past due that we have a serious national conversation about age. More specifically, we need to face hard facts about age and leadership. We have, in effect, become a gerontocracy — a country governed by old people.

I’ve received several messages lately asking why I’m not writing about the Trump indictment. That’s a fair question, especially given that I’ve written and posted extensively over the past seven years on the overflowing toilet that is everything connected to Trump.
Trump was, is, always has been, and always will be–an overflowing toilet. Disgusting and horrible, and yet we couldn’t peel our eyes away, and we certainly couldn’t ignore the horror.
