Gooooooooaaaaalllllll!!!!

I was going to write something about the death of Abu Musab al Zarqawi, probably relating to the number of days it's been since George Bush promised to capture Osama bin Laden, "Dead or alive" (1435), and how Zarqawi wouldn't have ever been anyone if the United States government had just kept their eye on the ball in the first place instead of following the nocturnal emissions of the PNAC crowd and heading off into their Iraq misadventure. I was going to mention that the United States seems to want to build up individual enemies so that they can claim victories, and yet they're pretty much through the whole post-invasion "deck", and shit keeps exploding, so maybe there's more to winning the hearts and minds than just picking off the leadership.

I was going to point all of that out, but there are other, more interesting distractions, so I won't.

It's almost like an ad. Wait - it IS an ad.

So, as of yesterday, I'm back to being a free agent. I took my last phone call, and with any luck will never work in a phone centre again. With any luck, this will mean some regular posting here. It also means I need to generate some income some other way. One of those avenues will be returning to my life as card sharp.

I thought of posting this little ad over at Bullets, but Rod might want to, and Stars may be nit-pickey about dual entries from the same blog. So what the heck - it's not like I've been doing much with this site lately.

I have registered to play in the PokerStars World Blogger Championship of Online Poker!

I'll let you know how it goes. Perhaps I'll win enough to give the children in my life some money, so they can follow their dreams of passing it along to Joe Volpe.
