Borgata
I had to be in Philly for a meeting yesterday. Once I got checked into the hotel, I went back out to my car. Inevitably, the rental car turned East and headed to Borgata. Now, I really can’t stand going to Atlantic City. The…
Hillary Clinton for Secretary of State?
Is this a good idea? Depends on who you are. Barack Obama? Takes her out of the running for his office, but more importantly, quiets a potential voice of dissension within his party. Harry Reid? Jumping with joy that he doesn’t have to cede…
World Series of Poker Table
Obviously, the most disappointing thing was that I wasn’t at the final table. Not far behind that would be how disappointing the coverage was. First, the geniuses running the WSOP decide to delay the final table of this event until November, to match up…
Catching Up
It’s been a busy travel week, with the trip to Idaho, followed by stops in Orlando and New York. I missed one picture from my trip to Idaho. Here’s a sunset picture of the Grand Tetons: The Giants won a hard-fought game in Philly…

It’s McCain
There are some that will say I made my mind up a long time ago. I didn’t. I did, however, make up my mind last night. I’m voting for McCain. In the end, I never really listened to something Obama said and nodded my…
Learned Something New About McCain Today
From FactCheck.com: Obama: Celling McCain Short Any ad that features the mom of a sick child is sure to pull a few heartstrings. But this radio spot is flat wrong when it says that “John McCain has stood in the way – he’s opposed…
Obama’s 30-Minute Infommercial
Well produced. Still have no idea how he plans to accomplish all of his goals, which constitute a lengthy list. Some of the ones I find hard to fathom: Cut taxes for all families who make less than $200K. Freeze foreclosures for 90 days….
