Gambling Man

WHAT GUMMINT DOES          Gambling Man “ I'm not a gambler but I found this article by Damian Housman interesting. A few days ago I read an article (below) that said that Nevada has approved an online gaming license for 888, the online poker and gambling company, based in Gibraltar. I first learned of 888 while traveling in Greece nearly three years ago. Their billboards were absolutely everywhere, and all featured their spokes model, Julia. Now, it seems, I'll be able to actually play on their site. This will not impact anyone living outside Nevada who wants to sign up, but for those of us who do live there, this is a welcome event. It's just a matter of time, I guess. Until now, I've been playing on World Poker Tour (a not-for-money site), and very occasionally America's Cardroom (a money site). America's Cardroom incorporates a site I joined many years ago, Doyle's Room (which had been owned by poker star Doyle Brunson), but it has too few members playing at any one time to be certain of a game. I attempted to sign up, but was unable to. They still haven't updated their software to allow Americans, specifically Nevadans, to join. In fact, I sent 888 an e-mail asking about joining, when my attempt to failed, and they sent me the usual form response saying they don’t allow Americans to play. I sent a second e-mail, asking about the article, below. This is their response: “888 is very pleased to announce that the Nevada Gaming Commission has recently approved the licensing of 888 as an Interactive Gaming Service Provider, allowing 888 to work with licensed Nevada operators to offer legalized online Poker to players physically located in the US state of Nevada. This makes 888 one of the first online gaming companies to be licensed by any US jurisdiction. Skoonj, unfortunately we can’t give you final timelines yet, but we look forward to working with our Nevada partners and to the re-launching of 888's online poker offering in Nevada in the near future, so watch out for further news!” OK, so we have bad news (no poker yet) and good news (it is indeed coming), and between the lines news. Notice that the article, below, and the most recent e-mail response, mention “Nevada partners.” Indeed, the article states: “the license will allow 888 to power Caesars Interactive Entertainment's WSOP poker brand, and support slot machine manufacturer WMS Gaming in offering an online product to its customers.” OK, so what does that mean? It means that 888 will work with Caesars Interactive Entertainment (Caesars owns the World Series of Poker, and there is a WSOP interactive game), as well as slots manufacturer WMS Gaming. I think I once told you that Caesars is a big time supporter of Harry Reid, Barack Obama, and the Democrats generally. Considering where they have properties (Las Vegas, the Chicago suburbs, etc.), they virtually have to grease many Democrat palms. But this is hugely different. And, it puts in context the entire charade we went through of shutting down internet poker, then reconstituting it only when Caesars, Reid, Obama, and the Democrats can take a huge cut. This is how our politicians operate these days. They fleece us in every way imaginable. Skoonj (Damian Housman) ”

Provoking Unrest                  HELTER SKELTER  DHS To Buy 360,000 More Rounds of Hollow Point Ammunition March 25, 2013 While the Department of Homeland Security continues to ignore members of Congress demanding to know why the federal agency is engaged in an apparent arms build-up, the DHS has just announced it plans to purchase another 360,000 rounds of hollow point ammunition to add to the roughly 2 billion bullets already bought over the past year. “   "There is no evidence, but the seriousness of the charge requires that we investigate this. " (Tom Foley's reason for investigating Reagan's alleged November surprise)             One can only conclude that the Administration is preparing to do war against the United States—us! Meaning they expect their Helter-Skelter reorganization plan is nearing the flash point.

TRANSITION “Mad Dog Mattis ... most revered Marine in a generation.” He rubbed civilian officials the wrong way “ Gen. James Mattis, known to his troops as “Mad Dog Mattis,” is retiring after 41 years of military service. 1. “Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet.” (San Diego Union Tribune) 2. “The first time you blow someone away is not an insignificant event. That said, there are some assholes in the world that just need to be shot.” (Business Insider) 3. “Find the enemy that wants to end this experiment (in American democracy) and kill every one of them until they’re so sick of the killing that they leave us and our freedoms intact.” (San Diego Union Tribune) 4. “I come in peace. I didn’t bring artillery. But I’m pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: If you fuck with me, I’ll kill you all.” (San Diego Union Tribune) — More of "the best quotes" The Marine Corps Times is calling Mattis the “most revered Marine in a generation.” Mattis has been commander of the United States Central Command since 2010 and led the 1st Marine Division into Iraq in 2003. According to reports, President Barack Obama decided to force the Marine Corps legend out early because he rubbed civilian officials the wrong way, and forced them to answer tough questions regarding Iran. Mattis was an inspirational leader of men and his powerful words will go down in history.   New Marine Uniform Janet  was "one tough bitch"  who often "beat the snot out of me. She  made me the man I am today." The rumor mill (uncomfirmed) has it that Obama will replace Gen. Mattis with J'anus "Buckwheat" Napolitano, twin brother of Homeland Security Czar Janet Napolitano.  Below, his (partial) CV Graduate of Valentino Garavani wedding dress design seminar.

The day ain't over yet

STUFF I've done used up all the words, historical comparisons, disapprobation, and purple prose to describe this Obama government.  In point—I just picked three dates at random to see whether I could repost that day's entire postage  today,  without causing undue confusion about what the hell I was talking about.  Wednesday, February 03, 2010   Monday, July 27, 2009  Sunday, March 28, 2010 See? During the Clinton occupation I was certain that not a single day passed without some lie being uttered by them.  In Obama's case, it's pretty much impeachable offenses that bombard us daily.  I pretty much said it all on Wednesday, November 05, 2008.  Every single thing that's followed was predictable. So I get bored.  What if my entire universe is in my head?  All of it, and obeying cosmic  rules that demand a certain continuity?  But I can invent things that allow change— like if I press this dot  (.)  right now, all of Washington will disappear and I'll be here all lovely.  Let's try it. Oh well, not blogging like a fool has had benefits.  I do stuff.  Right now it's baking and cooking, but I see a return to inventing coming on.  I have the urges.  Now.I'm going to look at my mail for the first time in two days, find something smiley, and post it right here “ from The Examiner What do more people have access to: toilets or cell phones? If you guessed the latter, you'd be correct. A new United Nations study found that more people around the world have access to a cell phone than to a working toilet. Of the world's 7 billion people, 6 billion have access to phones. Only about 4.5 billion have access to toilets. India alone is responsible for 60 percent of the world's population that don't have working toilets -- about 626 million people. Compare that to the 1 billion cell phones in India. In response, the United Nations is launching an effort to halve the number of those without access to toilets by the end of 2015. Thom the manly Mann ”

When Thomas Sowell Speaks ..

Today's Main Feature The Wisdom of Thomas Sowell “ "It is amazing that people who think we cannot afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, and medication somehow think that we can afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, medication and a government bureaucracy to administer it." "It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong." “I have never understood why it is "greed" to want to keep the money you have earned but not greed to want to take somebody else's" money.” Thomas ↑ Sowell's Brain "Socialism in general has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it." "One of the common failings among honorable people is a failure to appreciate how thoroughly dishonorable some other people can be, and how dangerous it is to trust them." "The next time some academics tell you how important diversity is, ask how many Republicans there are in their sociology department." "The problem isn't that Johnny can't read. The problem isn't even that Johnny can't think. The problem is that Johnny doesn't know what thinking is; he confuses it with feeling." "The most fundamental fact about the ideas of the political left is that they do not work. Therefore we should not be surprised to find the left concentrated in institutions where ideas do not have to work in order to survive." "I think this man (Obama) really does believe he can change the world, and people like that are infinitely more dangerous than mere crooked politicians." "If you have always believed that everyone should play by the same rules and be judged by the same standards, that would have gotten you labeled a radical 60 years ago, a liberal 30 years ago and a racist today." "Life in general has never been even close to fair, so the pretense that the government can make it fair is a valuable and inexhaustible asset to politicians who want to expand government." "Actually lowering the cost of insurance would be accomplished by such things as making it harder for lawyers to win frivolous lawsuits against insurance companies." I would dearly love for someone from the left explain how any of this is wrong headed. ” cuzzin ricky

At the 11:16 mark: The sniffles begin. At the 12:50 mark: Visible shiny mucus secretion from her nose. Beginning at the 14:20 mark: A drop of mucus comes out of her left nostril. Beginning at the 16:10 mark: The droplet of mucus is clearly visible. At the 16:55 mark: M.O. wipes nose with right hand. At the 17:02 mark: M.O. wipes nose with left hand. Right after that, I do believe I saw her tongue flicking up to lick the moisture.   Fellowship of the Minds via Josh~

Elvis and Me

Old Times There Are Not Forgotten ... Francois  ca 2002 Francois just sent me this. There's a back story. Back in the day I had, where my computer desk is now, a million watt stage amplifier, two 40" high stage speakers, assorted mixing equipment, a reverb, electronic drum, a floor mike and an electric gee-tar.  I'd open the windows and serenade passers-by with C-D-F-Em and G rock and roll music like House of the Rising Sun. For some reason nobody called the police.  Francois  is my erstwhile neighbor.  He and wife Evvy were our companions in some of the best times we ever had as adults.  When Frank and I got looped, which was often enough, I'd walk him home so he didn't have to crawl.  Once there however, he had to hold me up so I could get home.  We often solved this circular loop with a couple more beers and some showtime!  At 2 AM.  Frank has a terrific voice, and our favorite, by far, song was this very Elvis tune.  I wish we had recorded it.  But in my mind, it sounds just like this rendition. Thanks Frank!

No cure for that yeast infection

Gizmos that don't work  Sorry, you'll just have to keep washing your left hand I was tempted to purchase the Woot Deals Sanitizing Wand.  Fortunaately I decise3d to sheck up on it and found this samplong from Amazon The UVC intensity in this Verilux design is so low that for you to truly destroy any microorganisms on a surface you will have to keep it on the surface shining in one spot for over 30 minutes. It does not kill on contact, the intensity of UVC light is too low. In addition, the more you use it, the less UVC is emitted and the bulbs will have to be replaced annually. For you to truly destroy ALL micro organisms (virus, bacteria, mold) on just a pillow surface, you will have to hold the Verilux at every square inch of the pillow for 30 mins at a time. Thus, you would be standing, holding this unit for probably 4-6 hours to truly clean your pillow. You know what's easier, steam cleaning or taking the laundry and washing it. Or using a UVC system design for air treatment installed in your Air Conditioning System. Marketing over hypes the science behind UVC and leads customers to believe in products they shouldn't. This puts a bad name on the UVC products that actually perform, but are priced over $600. I wouldn't waste money on this product or any handheld UVC product. You're welcome

WHAT THIS GUMMINT DOES          TEXT Mirror, Mirror, on the Wall, Which State Has the Highest Food Stamp Usage of All? “ if we reversed the ranking and did a Self-Reliance Index, Virginia, Florida, and Georgia would score in the top 10. Nevada, arguably the nation’s most libertarian state, is the state with the lowest number of non-poor people signed up for welfare. A few quick observations. Why is Vermont (by far) the state with the largest proportion of non-poor people signed up for welfare programs? I have no idea, but maybe this explains why they elect people like Bernie Sanders. But it’s not just Vermont. Four of the top five states on the Moocher Index are from the Northeast, as are six of the top nine. I'd never heard of the (aptly named) Moocher Index.  I found it while walking this trail The food stamp program seems to be a breeding ground of waste, fraud, and abuse. Some of the horror stories I’ve shared include: Using food stamps to buy luxury coffee at Starbucks. Buying steaks and lobster with food stamps. The Obama Administration rewarding states that sign up more food stamp recipients. Proposals to make it easier to use food stamps at fast food restaurants. College kids scamming the program for handouts. New York City giving food stamps to newly released prisoners and running foreign-language ads encouraging more people to sign up for the program. The Octo-Mom mooching off the food stamp program. The Agriculture Department running radio ads to lure more people into food stamp dependency. With stories like this, I’m surprised my head didn’t explode during this debate I did on Larry Kudlow’s show. So exactly how bad is the food stamp program? (Mirror, Mirror, on the Wall continued) ”

Broadside Against Entire Republican Establishment

We Have Come to Bury Caesar Brent Bozell Levels Broadside Against Entire Republican Establishment “ I postulate that with some quibble room a person's character is pretty much set by age 7.  So it is a certainty that when an adult tells a black lie, that person is a liar who cannot ever be trusted with telling the truth ever again, except maybe on the death bed.  L Brent Bozell understands that. “ "John Boehner, Eric Cantor, and Kevin McCarthy, you said all the right things to conservatives to propel the GOP back to the majority and you to the top three leadership positions in the House. You, like virtually every single other Republican elected to Congress solemnly vowed to rid us of Obamacare, which you can do simply by refusing to fund it. Why haven't you done so?" Bozell asked, charging that the House GOP leadership has "done nothing for over two years but give us excuses and more commitments that tomorrow, yes tomorrow, you'll honor your promises." [full] ” Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears; I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him. The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones; So let it be with Caesar. The noble Brutus Hath told you Caesar was ambitious: If it were so, it was a grievous fault; And grievously hath Caesar answer'd it. - Marc Antony's Funeral Oration On Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, Bozell said, "You ran, and won as a fiscal conservative. You leave punishing Virginia with the largest tax increase in history. I wish we'd never elected you. Do you have national aspirations? Sorry my friend, forget them." On Karl Rove's efforts to begin working to recruit primary candidates, Bozell warned "the last thing the GOP needs is for the anti-conservative professional political consultant class infecting its ranks. And the last thing we conservatives want is them infiltrating ours. A weak character will crumble when forced to choose it over ambition.  10,000 words about what is it then that causes us to continue electing liars and weak character canker blossoms?  Answer: Two possibilities We are a nation too lazy to pay attention We are of poor character ourselves Aside: This thought kind of startles me too. If all elected Democrats are liars, and they manifestly are, the lone person with any honesty is Obama.  Think about it.  He is an unwavering socialist doctrinaire whose speeches—available for all to view on YouTube— have seen him unwaveringly promise to destroy the coal industry, impose a socialist state,  pay reparations for slavery, including appointing a court with like minded people, etc.  Having thus staked out his vision, he has no problem with telling the lies and falsehoods necessary to achieve his goals.  No different than Lenin and Stalin; or Hitler and Satan.  ”

GREEN CRAP We Stand By It as a Theatrical Work Obama Halts Global Warming by Executive Order  Climategate 3.0 has occurred – the password has been released (Do not try this unless you are certified AWG Expert)   It's been 45 years since Paul R. Ehrlich invented anthropogenic (man made) climate change (ACC) from greenhouse gases in 1968. Then it was the Global Cooling excitemet.  Since then it would be easier to count the number of illegal votes cast for Obama in 2012 (just enough)  than to count the number of times that shibboleth has been scientifically debunked. Yet it lives on? The fall of Soviet Union communism in 1989 had a lot to do with that. Out of work commies scurried to find a new base, Climate change was ideal. Convince the world that ACC spelled DOOM and they'll fund world government with cash to buy necessary political control  and live the privileged life to which they were accustomed. . For those reasons then I propose that the climate change battlefield manifestly explains what has gone wrong with everything in today's world (meaning the USA).  Specifically: The lie— ... embraced by the controlling media Goliath (CMG) that are newspapers, television news and  Hollywood— ... who choose to discuss one side of the issue, thereby validating it in public minds— ... and using ridicule (e.g. "deniers") to pigeonhole enemies as  mindless cranks and paid witnesses— ... and ignoring all data that unmasks the climate poseurs.  A tree felled that nobody hears. Wait,  It seems I've done nothing here but distill Alinsky.  Which is why that formula works to also explain the the puzzling Obama enigma, the Mexican invasion, free style voting, West Wing, Clinton cultists, etc.  It's all summed up rather nicely in this video Mr. Smith sent me. Climate Change—hell, everything—is explained in this interpretive dance (funded no doubt by the National Endowment for the Arts).  Enjoy. Learn.

Millenium Trilogy

At The Cinema                            Dragon Tattoo Trilogy: Extended Edition This has been floating on my Netflix page for some time.  While I thoroughly enjoyed  The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire, and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, just a few years ago, I wasn't up to watching a compilation.  But then I did.  Just to see if it looked any different.  Was it a Godfather Trilogy diamond, or a Police Academy 5,6 & 7 stinker? What it looked like was I had  forgotten about half the movie.  Which was kind of nice  because it was like mostly a  new film. But not so nice, because it meant I had Alzheimer's.   Finally it became too much; and I had to investigate.  I don't have Alzheimer's.  “ Each episode of the series is about 90 minutes long, which makes the television series about 110 minutes longer than the movies, with more depth in both the stories and the characters. [Wiki] ” Whew! If you liked the first three, you like this just as much, probably  more.  You're welcome.
