I admire Nancy Pelosi

I really love Nancy Pelosi. She has a lot of endurance. She doesn't really let anything stop her from winning the race.

Would it be wrong to name a race horse Nancy Pelosi? I don't want to be disrespectful at all.

Wolfram Alpha

Wow, this new search engine out today, Wolfram Alpha is really smart.

Almost any math problem it can solve....

I am very impressed.

Is it wrong to be mad at the American Cancer Society?

On the surface, the American Cancer Society seems like a lovely charity. No one could possibly be mad at them. I think I am....

Recently, for the second year, I participated in a Relay for Life thing where you walk all night. It became apparent to me that this group was really only interested in raising large amounts of money. I am not really sure if they want to cure cancer. I think it is all about the dollar for them.

And I do give them money, but I think they are very ungrateful.

I want to end cancer today!

Odd Poker Character

Tonight, a guy who I have been playing poker with for a few months in a weekly tournament asked me for money. This does happen to me, and I assume a lot of other friendly poker players, quite often. Of course, I am a very nosey fellow and always have to ask, "What do you need the money for?". This particular guy began to tell me that he needed 2,000 dollars to get his green card. I am bit perplexed that a green card would cost so much. I think it might have been a big scam. I didn't give him the money and he got really agitated. The odd thing is, this guy is not really a good poker player and has been playing terrible in the cash games for weeks. I think he probably lost a lot of money and was trying to get it back. You have to give it to poker players with their creative stories to get their bankroll back.
