I've been wondering why, as I've been under the impression that the PPA has been doing some really good work. I think the problem is the poker media, and the poker companies' reliance on them -- but by becoming obvious shills for press releases, it means anything we have to say is taken less seriously by the non-poker media. Whether we're talking about a final table or a major political issue, our shit is nothing if we can't get people who could care less about poker to, um, care.

I'd personally like to thank Bill Frist for being a fuckhead, and President Bush and his lawyerly buddies for continuing the fuckheadedness. Looks like we’re screwed.

I can't believe it actually happened. I mean I can, but for shame! So any clue what this means for the industry as a whole? Does this change any current operations for the next year? And should we all be looking to remove money from our online accounts ASAP? Ack. I can’t believe it actually happened. I mean I can, but for shame!

So any clue what this means for the industry as a whole? Does this change any current operations for the next year?

And should we all be looking to remove money from our online accounts ASAP?
