Todd Helton is asking for a trade. good stuff.

How much does it suck to be Dick Cheney? Well, other than having the oil and defense industries in his pocket, being filthy rich, shooting people without prosecution, etc, it has to be pretty embarassing to be ahead [with 18%] of only Paris Hilton [15%] in approval rating (and behind OJ Simpson [29%] and Michael Jackson [25%]). Hell, he’s even behind Stalin [20%], who (on a serious/scary note) is seeing a huge comeback in Russia, as people conveniently forget the atrocities and nostalgically wish for the “stability” of his rule.

One suggestion that has been around for a while but seems to be gaining steam is for Bush to dump Cheney and bring John McCain on board - and while I respect McCain, I think that even his moral fibre can’t save that cesspool.

Wow, lots of blog activity.

Here’s what I’ve figured out.
Blackjack is a lot of fun and better when you can find a one-deck table. Although, you really want to be going one-on-one against the dealer.
Slots are just a waste of time.

I managed to get way up playing blackjack, maybe +$100 at one point. However, I missed the signs that my luck was changing and just played until all my chips were gone. I didn’t loose as much as I was planning on loosing though. I also think I’m going to take all the change in my pockets right now and play the slots that are in the middle of the gates.
