Dan….I have seen CBS promoting the re-run on poker all over cable. The promos themselves are alarmist about cheating. Sounds as if EVERYONE is being cheated in the promos.

btw … yep, we were right about the delay back to Septemeber. A sign of the games in play, I suspect.

That’s what I’m hearing — Septemeber … but haven’t gotten any confirmation of that yet. I think it still might be officially slated for July … or August … and am not really sure what the difference is in practical political terms, month-to-month.

Wow on the NYT magazine piece. Thanks for passing that on.

Isn’t the bill being discussed in September?

Anyways, this article in the NY Times Magazine Sunday may be a bit more influential than the repeat of the 60 Minutes piece.

It’s a pretty good read, about a mother trying to come to terms with her son playing online poker.
