Poker Ramblings
Poker Blogs dieing? I think not. Maybe some of the more popular blogs or some that have been around for several years are starting to die out but I would wager to guess that for ever Blog that dies, there is one or more to take its place.
Remember there are only so many hours in the day to read up on blogs and you may have a sphere of 50 or so blogs you try to follow but there are at least 10 times that many out there that are still going strong that you can't touch base with every day.
Have you ever read 50 outs blog? How about Check Raise? Or Jarooty’s Poker BLOG? I thought not.
See, there are a ton of blogs out there and maybe you need to divorce some of your regulars and try some new ones. But don't divorce my blog, keep reading it every day.

60 Minutes had a segment on Online Gambling and I thought it was pretty well done except for a couple of things. They gave a producer's 16 year old kid his Dad's credit card and told him to try to get into a gambling site. He was unable to gamble on the first two sites he tried but he did get into the 3rd site and began losing money on roulette.
My first thought on this is give him his Dad's credit card and see how successful he is getting into a Porn Site. I bet he gets in with no problem. Secondly, isn't it the parent's responsibility to know what their children are doing while on the internet? The Government can't raise our freaking kids for us. It doesn't take a freaking village, it takes a concerned Mom and Dad, damn it.
“It’s so easy to do. It’s so easy for kids to do. It’s so addictive. And it has frequently been demonstrated that there’s a lot of graft and corruption in this,” says Sen. Kyl
They never asked that stupid Senator Kyl that is backing the bill about Porn sites either. They just kept saying gambling is bad and what about the underage kids gambling. See above for my answer.
Sen. Jon Kyl says that’s the biggest danger in online gambling. “Our kids have access to the Internet. They’re frequently not supervised. And you can run up a huge debt on your folks’ credit card very, very quickly.”

I love Celtic Music and Irish Drinking songs. Check out these guys - Brobdingnagian Bards and their song "Do Virgins Taste Better (than those who are not). You can do a free MP3 download of this song and several others of theirs. Check out their site and listen to some of their music and you, too, will become a big fan.

Oh, oh. The Brits may have done the unthinkable and pissed off Tiger Woods right before the Ryder Cup. The Daily Mail had an article about Tiger's wife, Elin, and naked pictures. I think I need to see those photos to corraborate this story. A pissed Tiger may just be the best golfer in the history of the game. Read it all at Tiger's wife in topless pics storm as the WABs* fly in

Dude,
WTF is wrong with me? I realized I haven't linked you up yet.
My apologies.
Keep on rockin, yo. And thanks for the comment today.

It never ceases to amaze me how the people in this country, especially in Congress, never learn from our history. Prohibition does not work and actually makes things worse. It didn't work for alcohol in the '20s and it won't work for online gaming.
You like Irish music and drinking songs?!?!
AND you linked the Brobdingnagian Bards! Awesome! =D
Well done!
