Obama vs. McCain

If Barack Obama and John McCain were duking it out in a heads-up poker match, instead of a presidential election, would Obama still have won? I think it would have been much more entertaining to let them decide who would next lead this great nation in this manner, and possibly more efficient,...

The Main Freakin' Event - Part II

We left off in my last column with an Internet kid laying a bad beat on another guy, boosting his stack close to a hundred thousand. And he didn't let this new stack sit idle, as he put it to work. He was raising or reraising most every hand, while I hid and waited. "Internet Kid"...
