shame they arn't like $50... with the profit still going to charity. Guess that price tag will keep people from buying them to burn them for public display :P

btw, there's a bill in my state to take away my right to play poker on my computer... (nice icon)

I was just saying almost the exact same thing to my girlfriend a couple days ago... "Lately the republican party in office has meant excess and waste with little to show for it. I believe obama will leave us with more to show for the overspending, but the change that will result from the party...

yet another post from this user that makes me feel dumber for having read it. is there a way to block posts by the few people that spam the forums with this crap?

good article, thanks for the post. don't think i would remove the charge. It seems like a completely reasonable way to protect your property without excessive force. I also don't believe the child was "trying to see how it was constructed".

Siting your sources as blogs and extreme web sites only takes away from the credibility. I mean really if i didn't want to mess up my blog i could just post that both candidates decided to settle the election by a boxing match on pay-per-view. So don't bother voting...

I meant it more as a comparison on the margin. I would like to see our freedoms restored first since the marginal costs of these changes are minimal. I do think there is some truth to measuring the welfare of the public at the quartiles can tell you how well a country is doing. (unless of...

The more advanced plays in poker are all educated guess work. Your estimates arn't on the odds of making your flush draw, but rather what % you believe they would have played their hand in this manner if they hold a range of possible cards, then the %s that he will respond to your range of...

ok, back to studying -500 in poker tonight so stocks look even better ;)

oil (and gambling markets) have been a great fascination of mine long before the last crazy year. i have learned much about the gambling industry, but the market for the stocks seems to just follow consumer confidence. (+obviously the individual quality of the resort/location) at different...

futures and options have all the appeal a poker player likes ;) +EV with investment, high risk, high reward. But again, you may be right, lower risk with some of the stocks i have been following could be the best route...
