Before you post a screenshot showing off your cool new desktop background on a message board you might want to take a quick inventory of what you files and folders you have there.
Here’s the whole screenshot.
- Pass The Bill Lose The Hill
When the UIGEA originally passed the House of Representatives - then known as HR4411 - most press carried the little soundbite from John Kindt, a business professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, “You just click the mouse and lose your house.” That was the snippet from his more ignorant statement, “There are [...]
- Online Poker is Doomed
In news that is sure to rock the online poker world, Pamela Anderson has decided to call it quits on her online poker room PamelaPoker.com. Anderson (shown here with Kid Rock), who is known for making wise choices in both her personal life and business, says that there are too many shady areas. [...]
- Jim Leach Has a Gambling Problem
Believe it or not, this is actually from the Evans-Novak Political Report

George Allen Vs. James Webb - Coming down to the wire with the last reports having Democrat, [...]
- Payback’s A Bitch
Republican Congressman Jim Leach, who proudly calls attention to his part in getting the UIGEA passed, will no longer be representing the great state of Iowa come next year. Losing by a 51/49 margin, I wonder how many votes he lost because of his crusade against poker players.
- Ultimate Bet Won’t Kick You in the Balls
I’m pretty sure the UB guy who gives the guy a icepack for his junk was the same dude who was at the WSOP lifestyle show manning the UB booth.
- Hastert’s Role in the UIGEA
The Daily Kos has a fairly good writeup on the entire struggle over the last 10 years to get some sort of gambling ban through Congress. While many have been blaming Bill Frist over recent Harrah’s campaign contributions, just wait until you see the disgusting amounts of money the Republican party has shaken down [...]
