Odds and Ends from Faldo’s Fertile Brain





















NPP had some inquiries as to where should internet poker players should go now to play poker for real money.
It breaks Faldo’s heart to say that - in the former freedom filled United States of America – there is nowhere to play poker for money on the internet.
None are safe. Only PokerStars stood up, paid the fines, promised to obey US laws, and then STILL returned all of the funds of the US players.
Faldo suggests that everyone – keep their powder dry, in more ways than one – and wait for PokerStars to become legal for US players.
In the meantime, join the Niks Poker Palace Poker League on Tuesday nights for REAL poker action, even though it is with play chips and only for ego. It is great practice and against great people and players.

In case anyone has forgotten, Detroit is a war zone. Murders, robberies and rapes are hitting all time highs. You just are not hearing about it. The Black Panthers said if the State of Michigan sends in a state committee to run the city, they will “burn it down!”
Guv Faldo would have said, “Well then, do you want me to establish the committee so you can get started lighting it up and get rid of this eye sore parked on prime river-front property for me? Or do you want me to pack up, leave you to it, and take all the taxpayers money with me? Your call, genius.”
Take a look at the poorest cities in the nation and the common thread is that they have been run by Democrats. Find the poorest states. Find the states and cities most in debt. All Democrat owned and operated.

My fellow citizens in my town just voted to raise my taxes…..again. Right after they raised my taxes to pay for cops and firemen, they are back to my wallet…..for the children! Again.
The amount of the tax millage was for $88 million over ten years, actually costing $200 million, correctly including the interest.
The money is being touted as to be used for; a new artificial football field (life expectancy 15 years that we don’t pay off for 30 years, by the way), new tennis courts and a new Performing Arts/Performance Center – for the children. But no new buildings are included in the costs.
I looked up the cost of an artificial football field. It said $200,000.
I looked up the cost of a tennis court. It said $45,000.
I looked up the cost of remodeling an auditorium to the rafters. It said $2,000,000.
Let’s be fair and double the cost for the football field and triple the cost of the auditorium, and let’s install 20 tennis courts.
$400,000 football field
$900,000 tennis court
$6,000,000  auditorium
That totals $7.3 million dollars. Lets round that up to $10 million! That leaves $78 million unaccountable for.
Where is the rest of the money going??? Did anyone who voted for this ask?
Did anyone voting for this actually paying property taxes?
My fault for living with idiots. Useful idiots for Marxists.
