Finding Jesus in Strange Places

Published by webmaster under Blog Posts

The Romans were especially skilled at killing people. Anybody who has any doubts about that should get that cable television psychic, John Edwards, to have a chat with the members of Spartacus’s rebel army and get their feelings about the aesthetic beauty of the Appian Way as seen from the unique perspective of someone nailed to a cross. In short, the type of people who would leave thousands of uppity slaves crucified along a major road just to make a point, were the type of people who took their killing seriously.

Poker After Dark - I Am Pot Committed!

Published by webmaster under Blog Posts

Big Slick (ace king), Fishhooks (two Jacks), Pocket Rockets (two Aces) and the like; one poker hand had to do without a name for a long time, not only because there was no real name that came to mind for seven two, but because it was the worst starting hand in the game.

Tit for Tat

Published by webmaster under Blog Posts

Poker is a game of changing fortunes, both in the sense of luck and in the sense of wealth. Your luck will change over the course of the game, going from bad to good or vice versa. Your wealth will change as well. Hopefully, your pile will grow, but in some cases, it will shrink. Controlling your changing fortunes, then, is a matter of controlling the flow of your chips, because you cannot control your fortune.
