Hot babes strutting their stuff around were great to look at during Gambling911.com's Championship Game Party this past Sunday, but where talk is concerned, much of that centered around the Poker Players Alliance and iMEGA.org, both of which are grass roots organizations looking to legalize online poker and - in the case of iMEGA - all forms of Internet gambling. "There is a growing feeling that the Poker Players Alliance has let down the online poker playing community," said one guest on hand. "They had a big event in Washington DC, then we heard nothing." Gambling911.com can also reveal that at least one politician on The Hill lied about having to attend a "vote" as a means of avoiding having to meet with Poker Players Alliance members at the Washington function. "There was no vote taking place when he left abruptly," a source tells Gambling911.com. Joe Brennan, Jr. , who founded the grass roots organization of iMEGA.org (presently the only body challenging the US Government in a court of law), also had questions about the PPA and why they have not worked more closely with organizations such as his.

Pocket Fives: As for iMEGA.org, that grass roots organization has already begun thinking beyond any decision - good or bad - that might be thrown its way. Brennan was tight-lipped about future plans, despite being groped by a buxom blonde partygoer as Gambling911.com sleuths tried to force the news from him. His lips puckered, but that was about the extent of it. "We have big plans," he promised before running off onto the balcony with the blonde. No Mrs. Brennan, that did not really happen. ---- Christopher Costigan, Gambling911.com Publisher CCostigan@CostiganMedia.com
