pelosi promised to release the list of cars purchased so i am waiting for that.

on another intervention note, (i know i am always getting sidetracked but so much is going on) the government seized online poker winnings:
Feds Freeze Poker Champ's Winnings
in part:

an unprecedented government crackdown on online poker that affected some 27,000 people."There is no legal precedent for what the government is doing," said John Pappas, executive director of the alliance.

"We contend playing online poker is not unlawful. The government is going after the players' money, not the sites'. The fact is, there is no federal law against playing online poker," he said.

Though the government maintains that online gambling is illegal, the U.S. attorney's office in New York would not comment on the case or confirm an investigation was under way.
