Vegas vs Obama

Sunday, February 21st, 2010

The online gambling industry may be pinning all its hopes onto legalizing the industry in the coming year, but when it comes to the Capital of the Gambling World, guns have been drawn in the battle between Mr. President and the mayor of Las Vegas. On the one side we have Mayor Oscar Goodman, a man rarely seen without a martini glass in hand and a bevy of feathered showgirls supporting him from behind. On the other, we have Boss of the World Obama who has made some pretty evil remarks about Las Vegas in the past and wanted to make an apologetic appearance in Sin City. Round number one went to Goodman who refused to meet the President when he visited town hall and ARIA meetings on Friday. Round number two halfheartedly went to Obama who (kind of) apologized for his past jibes at Vegas by saying that “that doesn’t mean I don’t love Vegas”. But the man who comes out on top is Goodman who diplomatically ended the dual by saying that Obama is always welcome in Vegas as long as he keeps Sin City out of his pundits. Go Goodman!

Ok, so speaking about Vegas, a young sexy blonde was trying her luck in the casinos, got thirsty and decided to take a break. She found herself a pop machine and put in a dollar. A Pepsi came out. She took out another $1 and another Pepsi came out. She continued to doing this for some time before a casino worker walked past and asked what she thought she was doing. The woman rolled her eyes and retorted: “Well, duh!! I’m on a winning streak!!!”
