Gambling Man

       WHAT GUMMINT DOES
    
    Gambling Man

Res Ipsa Loquitor


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.

, 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.

 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. I'm just saying,.based on my understanding of world history.  The House ought issue a warrant for Napolitano's arrest and let the legalities sort themselves out.  It goes beyond saying anymore that Obama impeachment procedure should begin today.  Today.

General Mad Dog Mattis






TRANSITION
Mad Dog Mattis ... most revered Marine in a generation.”
He rubbed civilian officials the wrong way

Res Ipsa Loquitor



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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Could be these little darlings live in Austria, although more and more the stench surrounding Hitler's Nazis is dissipating everywhere. Last year Jean-Marie Le Pen  was handed suspended jail term for saying Nazi occupation of France "wasn’t particularly inhumane." Or, this could be the home of an American Democrat who sided with Cindy Sheehan in her anti-Israel campaign (and they included a good portion of Hollywood's  Jews!).  Or any of the so called "skin-heads," or other white supremacist haters.  Change their skin color and they could be playing upstairs in the White House.  If it wasn't for the fact that he's so outwardly anti-Nazi,  that spurting penis looks like what Clarkson is always drawing, on everything. Outside of all that, they're cute.

  • 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.
