The Harry Reid Poker Bill Christmas Song
We have seen the Harry Reid Poker Bill (#Reidbill) analyzed
in every way possible, but have we seen it transformed into
a Christmas song? Well now it has. Enjoy!
Reid Bill Christmas Song (Sung to Do You Hear What I Hear)
Said the grinder to the poker fan
Do you see what I see?
Way up on the hill poker fan
Do you see what I see?
A bill, a bill
Heading for a fight
Let's go tweet this to kevmath tonight
Let's go tweet this to kevmath tonight
Said the poker fan to his poker foes
Do you hear what I hear?
Marching through the hall poker foes
Do you hear what I hear?
A bill, A bill
Setting players free
Now let's go make Full Tilt more money
Now let's go make Full Tilt more money
Said the foes to the Senate king
Do you know what I know?
Up in congress mighty Senate king
Do you know what I know?
Your foes, your foes
Sitting on their ass
No chance in hell that this bill will ever pass
No chance in hell that this bill will ever pass
Said the king to the media fans
Listen to what I say
This bill is not dead media fans
Listen to what I say
The bill, the bill
Will not go down without a fight
Not sure when but it will pass some night
The bill, the bill
Hold on to it tight
Perhaps some day Congress will get this right.

John Racener's Drunk Driving is NOT Good for Poker
Early Saturday evening, I saw a news blurb on Wicked Chops
Poker[http://wickedchopspoker. com/john-racener-arrested-for-third-dui-mugshot/]
regarding John Racener being arrested for his THIRD DUI
charge. Â After doing a little digging, I discovered that
this is his third DUI charge in the last five years. Â
Anyone that knows me well knows my views about alcohol, but
this is a case where anyone with any sense at all has to
agree that John Racener needs some serious help.

eBay Removes Eskimo Clark's 1999 WSOP Bracelet After Auction Closes
As most of you know, Eskimo Clark's 1999 WSOP bracelet
recently sold for $4,050 on eBay. Those that follow my blog
and Twitter also know that I was one of the bidders on the
bracelet and stopped pursuing it after the bidding exceeded
$4,000. Granted, had I known that $4,100 would have won the item, I
may have bid again. In the end, it looks like it may have
been a good thing I didn't win it as eBay sent me a notice
today stating that the item was REMOVED from eBay.

Online Poker Legalization Nearly a Reality?
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid from Nevada has introduced
the Internet Poker Act of 2010 that would effectively make
online poker legal. Â While many poker players and
companies are waiting with anticipation for the passage of
this bill, I figured I would take a couple of minutes and
review what this new bill would mean for internet poker as
it currently stands. First, only existing casinos, race tracks, and slot machine
makers will be authorized to have a license within the first
two years after the bill being passed. Â Furthermore,
existing online poker rooms are prohibited from transferring
their assets to a licensed entity.
