Given that most of these games start kind of late and finish way to late I’m probably just going to file this news under b.e.d. (that would be Big Effin’ Deal). It might be fun to back somebody and follow their progress. I bought a share of Absinthe and gained tremendous pleasure by following his table-side tweets. I wish I could have gained tremendous pleasure by rolling around in a pile of cash that he won, but what are you going to do. You gotta watch the cards that your horse is dealt.

In other news, one of the first poker bloggers that I read, LuckBox, is back. I’m guessing since the republican voice has been reduced to a cowering wimper he feels a need to return to the mix. Maybe he can write about how they spent the last 8 years fucking up the economy and will spend the next 4 years whining about not being able to do anything about it while the democrats fix it. Over simplification? Sure. But I can’t help myself. Suck it republicans.

In other news, I’m writing about poker! Go figure. I haven’t played in well over a month – I’m having too much fun learning about beer. Also – my day job, curing cancer, is going exceedingly well. We are a few good results away from a tremendous step forward in breast cancer therapeutics. We are also potentially a few steps away from the whole thing folding up. Such is the nature of the beast. Have no fear, breast lovers – no idea ever goes away completely – the good scientist just takes the results and learns how to do it better next time. Unfortunately, the shitty economy makes it tough to look more than a few years into the future for any biotech company. I’m feeling good about all of this anyway. To anyone who said to me when I was squeezed out of my last postion that I would find something better – you were 100% correct. If I was living my life backward I would have left that last position even sooner.
So when do you think you actually played good?
I dunno, maybe everytime that I outlasted you and cashed at the HPT?
In any case – a poker player doesn’t have to be good – he only needs to be better than his opponents.
Did DuggleBogey highjack this blog or something? The influx of scientific research money is going to be great for sure….but as far as most of the stimulus package is concerned….not good to say the least….
Not good as in the way the republicans ran the economy into the ground? The stimulus package is necessary. The greedy fuck CEO types in our society get a pass because we have to give them one.
Two things put our economy where it is today…the war and the mortgage crisis. Both caused and perpetuated by both parties…they share equal blame. You can’t attribute this all just to one party. It all boils down to what you believe is right…do you actually believe that we can fix everything by throwing money at everything? We don’t have the money to fix everything…it’s impossible. Now in addition to the fact that more has been spent in the past 30 days than to previous 200+ years we have the following. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article5822265.ece
So now we’re going to try to fix all of the worlds problems and then the economy will be rescued…I hope we come out of this B. I’m not going the partisan route here…I just hope we come out of this relatively OK. It took a long time to recover from Jimmy Carter this administration is already dwarfing anything he’s ever done.
