Bailouts
What do you think about these bailouts?
When jobs are on the line and some credit is needed to keep a business going – then I can see the sense in helping out a company. As long as it is paid back!
But imagine you are a parent and your kid keeps coming to you for extra money, they get an allowance but it seems it is not enough. What would you do? Give them a bailout?
No ways I would do this… they may end up like me… a no-good casino bum, gambling away his life…
Seriously though I would say,”Go get a job and make your own money!!!”
You send the wrong message to kids if you keep bailing them out. But is the government sending the wrong message to business with all its bailouts?
Others will say, “The credit system is broken… it is a credit crunch… so now the responsibility lies on government to provide lines of credit to keep the economy going…”.
Sure, and I see their point. But come-on how far does it go and where does all the bailout money come from?
Next thing I’ll be writing to Dear Uncle Sam, I am a down and out online gambler…. I’ve had some terrible luck and I have no money left… Please sir can you help me with some spare cash so that I can try my luck on the slot machines…
It doesn’t make sense to me.

Movies Promoting Casinos
Movies like some of the Bond movies, Oceans 11, 12…. etc have really helped the marketing of the casino industry.
You take the shear class of the European casino that is portrayed in ‘Casino Royale’ and instead of the sleazy image of a gambling pit full of desperate people, dropping their last hard earned coins into slot machines… hoping for their one big win…
Instead now you now have an image of a high class establishment a casino that oozes wealth and sophistication… that it is cool to gamble and accepted by society.
All image of course. But this what places like Las Vegas try and replicate, copying the high class image of the best casinos around the world, keeping you indoors in a false environment all day long and entertaining you – so that you will feel that you are in a classy european casino, where only the high society go… all designed to entertain you and ensure you have the best experience possible.
Its all about marketing and image! and movies have played a huge part to create this image.

Obama’s inauguration party gets going!
The inauguration of Barack Obama, the 44th president of the United States of America, will take place tomorrow in Washington. What a momentous occasion it will be. What a huge event, that is sure to be one big party! They say 2 million people will be there… wow… that’s awesome, what a turnout!
Isn’t it amazing what a hero he has become already, and he hasn’t even become the president yet! I wonder is it because the US needs a leader or is it because of who he is as a political leader.
Not to undo the incredible rise of Obama and his achievement. It is indeed a momentous occasion in history, to be remembered and recorded forever. It is incredible to think that slavery was abolished not so long ago, and now tomorrow the first black president will take office!
Actually the party has already begun with a free concert that took place on sunday afternoon. The crowds were entertained with some of the top entertainers, choosing songs that had real meaning for the historic event. Everyone got in on the act with songs, acts and speaches that made patriotic reference to all kinds of events and people.
Obama had some inspiring things to say to the nation – “Welcome to this celebration of American renewal,” probably sums it all up. America is hoping for renewal and revitalization – a breath of life, perhaps!
Enjoy the occasion Mr soon-to-be President, because once it is over the hangover of reality will soon kick in and you have one huge mess to clean up!
Oh and whilst you are at it, please could you change the internet gambling laws….
