A press release rolled across our screen today which claimed a supposedly controversial video supposedly leaked virally last week was supposedly “under fire” from a Muslim group because the video supposedly poked fun at Muslims. The whole thing’s a sham. Pokershow.com is behind it. They invented the cause group Muslim Media Watch under the guise of a plainly fake Blogger blog which just launched Feb. 17 according to Whois and the fact the blog has nearly no content. It’s amateur hour again in poker marketing land. Of course we just did exactly what they wanted – give them publicity.

I followed every rule — worked hard, saved carefully, planned for the future — and when the future arrived, I sat in it and felt robbed of something I couldn’t quite name

I’m 70 and I just realized the reason I feel lonely isn’t because I’m alone — it’s because I’ve been surrounded by people my whole life who loved the role I played but never actually wanted to know the person underneath it

I’m 73 and I woke up at 3 AM last Thursday with a question I couldn’t put back to sleep – not ‘was I successful’ or ‘was I happy’ but something much simpler and much more frightening: was I kind enough, and did the people I love know it while it mattered?
