Health Care is causing Bankruptcy

My friends at MoveOn.org have discovered that almost 60 percent of bankruptcies are caused by medical bills.

So I did the math.... 5,300 people files bankruptcy each month because of medical bills. Wow, that is kinda alarming.

Random Casino Story

I don't really see stories of people gambling away massive amounts of money that often. Tonight, on my way to the restroom, I spotted a lady laying in the floor, crying at the top of her lungs.

I asked one of the casino slot attendants what was matter with the lady. Had she lost a loved one?

The story that I was told was that the lady had lost $17,000 on one slot machine. She looked like she had lost more.

I have friends that have lost that much on one blackjack hand.

Facebook Poker

Tonight I was eavesdropping on some people playing poker at another table. This guy was bragging about how many chips he had on the facebook poker game.

Now several people claim that online poker isn't real. I totally disagree with them. I think playing online poker makes you a better casino poker player. Playing casino poker makes you a better online player.

However, this facebook poker? No... that is not real poker.

It is fun to watch these people. Everyone has to start somewhere.

Odd Travel Phobia

If I share an odd travel phobia, it will probably no longer become a travel phobia. The act of writing it out will expose the craziness that it is....

So here goes... I have a phobia about taking a flight that has the number 4 in it. How odd is that?

Boycotting the DNC

It is not easy for me to boycott any Democratic organization. However, I firmly believe that the DNC has ignored issues important to me for far too long. I believe they think LGBT issues are not worthy. However, they always want our money.

So for now, I am boycotting the DNC.

Ford County

Oh my.... I just finished reading my first John Grisham book. Actually, this wasn't so much a book but a collection of short stories.

Anyway, I highly recommend Ford County. I loved each story. It was so vivid!

This guy is very talented.

Election Night!

Every election night excites me! Even if I am not even involved in the election at all.

I think it is because of all my great election night memories. Or really the night before the election, election eve. I loved staying up all night putting out campaign signs. Often we were drunk. Such great times. Maybe that is a chapter of my life that is passed. I was always be involved in politics, but now at a higher level. Anyway, memories are good.
