Another stolen credit card translates into internet poker addiction

Ok, so I sit here preparing my first ever Costa Rica trip and it dawns on me....I'm addicted to gambling.  More addicted to internet poker than I am to sex.  Well, at least with sex I have someone else charge their credit cards.  With internet gambling I might turn out like poor little 'ol (get your hankies out) RYAN.

Whose Ryan you might ask? 

Ryan is an 18-year old who the Philadelphia Inquirer paints as this poor young sap who became addicted to online poker, racked up nearly $20,000 (errr didn't the credit card company impose a limit on this activity?) and.....ok, here's the good part.  The credit card was STOLEN.

Now the Philadelphia Inquirer chose not to focus on the stolen credit card but rather what this little 18 year old brat did with the card.  Let me tell you if that were my little brother, I'd smack him right across the face for stealing the card.  Who the **** cares what he used it for?  Get a grip America.  I't nonsense like this that really really really gets Jenny all fired up....especially when I am having my PMS and ADT combined. 

Ryan now attends Gamblers Anonymous meetings twice a week in Basking Ridge, N.J., trying to piece his young life together.

Shouldn't he be spending his week's in a juvenile detention unit?  Help me out here!

Ok, so Ryan is on probation for identity theft I soon learn.  We had to wade through everything else to get to that fact.  Of course, blame it all on internet gambling. 

My dog Lexy is in trouble again with yet another Kennel for causing fights among the male dog occupants.  Let's blame this on Mommy's addiction to internet gambling.  Because I'm heading to Costa Rica to visit online gambling companies, Lexy will be left alone and potentially could be thrown out of her 14 kennel for lewd behavior. 

Everything can be blamed on internet gambling!  Yet more than 75% of the US population believes it should be legalized.  Go figure!

As for Ryan - Give me back my credit card you little slimeball!

Go Save Some Bears People

Ok so Where the hell is What's His Name, that pretty boy Forbes Billionaire coverboy CEO of Bodog.  There wasn't a day that went by where I didn't read something about him....mostly on this here website.

Well, seems he's doing good and may even be abstinent for once in his adult life.  Yeah right!

Next time you boys decide to use some of that sex drive serum, better think twice about where it is originating from.

Kudos to Kelvin for his efforts in Asia....the backwoods of Asia I want to make this perfectly clear coming from a Half Korean, Half Redneck.

Having just completed a public service announcement educating the masses on current bear bile farming practices going on in Asia, Kelvin Ayre (on behalf of the Kelvin Ayre Foundation) has traveled overseas and is currently working in conjunction with the Stop-Bear-Farming Foundation and Animal Asia Organization’s Jill Robinson and Annie Mather to fund the construction and maintenance of the Bodog.com Bear Sanctuary in Vietnam, which is slated to be opened in the Fall of 2006.

Ayre and Robinson are also filming a 30-minute documentary (with locations in China and Vietnam) that will educate the public on bear bile farming practices, and show how they can help the cause by avoiding the usage of products made from bear bile. (These products include Chinese medicine, eye drops and hairspray...oh yeah and sex serums.)

What is bear bile farming? Where is it being done?

Close to 10,000 bears in China, Korea and Vietnam are being locked in tiny "crush cages" (some for more than 20 years) and their bile is extracted from their gall bladders for use in, among other things, traditional Chinese medicines.

Way to go Kelvin!  Yogi, Pooh and King Kong would be proud.  And so is your Jenny.  A very good cause.
