    Chris, those are Republican traditions that Sam and hopefully the American voters will soon forget. Sex and politics, particularly homosexual sex and male prostitutes do NOT mix.

    In blogging matters, Flap is at the Rio Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada having just returned from the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Day 2A. Later in the day, Flap will post his photos of the session.

    Good night all……

    ++++++++++

    As Flap entered the Rio Convention Hall last night he spotted two big time pros just as they had “busted out” of the WSOP Main Event. Flap did not have the intestinal fortitude to ask them for a photo or autograph. They were nonplussed to say the least.

    However, Flap has photos from his trip to the $50,000 HORSE WSOP event in June.

    First, notable female Poker PRO Kathy Liebert – here Kathy was playing a Stud Event:

    And, then, Barry Greenstein – texting at the HORSE table – Jennifer Harman is immediately to Barry’s right.:

    Flap is off to the convention center for the beginning of Main Event Day 2B. I’ll post some photos this afternoon – Pacific time.
