weekly




Dear Reader,

It's a late night, and I'm trying to get this out before midnight - my deadline. It's been a hell of a busy week, so there may be a chance it's a few minutes late. But regardless, you probably won't tell the difference.

Always yours,

Bryan

    WORD FROM THE MEISTER
    GOTCHA!
    Every year April 1st makes its rounds around Casinomeister. One year, the site was sold to Doloplex, last year the site ended up in the hands of some Russian mob guy, and this year - well, for about three hours on Saturday (the 1st) visitors were treated to this:

    April Fools - ha ha ha!

    The site was redirected to HR4777.com (which has been changed now) and for a number of Casinomeister visitors, it caused a bit of a panic.

    I fell for it totally, the ditz that I am. I e-mailed everyone on my list of representatives, called th FBI (both in Northern VA who routed me to Norfolk location). And gave them a piece of my mind this morning! I said my piece on the HR 4777 bill through e-mails today to all of them. You did good. Very, very good. Got my attention and off my tush! (Too funny after the fact) My very first April Fool's with ya and you got me!

    And:

    This morning I was quite happily reading/adding messages to the Casinomeister forum. Went to lunch, came back, and wham....this...

    You are probably aware of this by now from Spearmaster or one of the others, in which case I apologise. However, from a personal point of view I am absolutely livid. I am *not* a US citizen, the gambling bill has not yet been passed by the senate, and even more galling is the fact that I can still access xxxxcasino.com sites and GAMBLE! I can't access the forum giving me the positives/negatives of gambling, but I can still gamble! Makes absolutely no sense to me at all.

    Just another example of the USA trying to be masters of the universe. Morons!!!

    And

    OMG........I just sent e-mails to my senator, governor etc..OMG tooo funny...well..I hope everyone else does the same ..the bill 4777 needs to be stopped..OMG ...too funny...Thank You..I feel much better now knowing Bryan has not been hijacked! Geezes...I even called my service provider......Laffin too hard..gonna beat him...

    Even though it was a funny ha-ha, it was somewhat of a wake up call. There are some scary people in the US Congress who would probably support an actual ISP block. In our thread in Casinomeister's forum, a member posted a response from her Congressman concerning her asking him to not support the HR4777 bill. This is what he had to say:

    Dear Ms. XXXXX:

    Thank you for contacting me in opposition to H.R. 4777, the Internet Gambling Prohibition Act. I appreciate the opportunity to respond to your concerns.

    Introduced by my colleague, Rep. Bob Goodlatte of Virginia, H.R. 4777 would prohibit the placing of bets or wagers over the internet. Gambling is currently illegal in the United States unless regulated by the States. The numerous gambling websites from outside our borders are unlicensed and unregulated and thus violate the laws of all 50 States in the Union. Gambling is an issue for the States to decide and internet gambling has taken away the State’s power to regulate.

    I have joined 126 of my colleague’s in the House in co-sponsoring H.R. 4777. Currently, this bill is awaiting action in the House Committee on Judiciary. Although we do not agree on this issue, I appreciate your input and I will certainly remember your concerns as this bill continues to move through the legislative process.

    Once again, thank you for getting in touch with me. In the future, do not hesitate to contact me on this or any other issue that is on your mind.

    Sincerely,

    Jerry Lewis Member of Congress

    This is a scary response. The Congressman has not researched this issue and it seems he has merely relied on what he's been told by others with biased perspectives. These lawmakers need to hear from you - especially if they are representing you on Capital Hill. Get busy people - how to fight this bill is listed here HR4777.com
    CASINO AFFILIATE CONVENTION - AMSTERDAM
    Yes, I'll be chillin' there. And I wish everyone a safe and interesting trip getting there. It should be a great experience - the speaker lineup is great, and there is nothing better than to meet up with operators and webmasters alike. I'll be covering this in upcoming newsletters, so stay tuned. And if you have the desire to meet up, just send me an email and perhaps we can make it a possibility.

    And now for the humor......
    A wife was making a breakfast of fried eggs for her husband. Suddenly her husband burst into the kitchen.

    "Careful ... CAREFUL! Put in some more butter! Oh my GOD! You're cooking too many at once. TOO MANY! Turn them! TURN THEM NOW! We need more butter. Oh my GOD! WHERE are we going to get MORE BUTTER? They're going to STICK! Careful ... CAREFUL! I said be CAREFUL! You NEVER listen to me when you're cooking! Never! Turn them! Hurry up! Are you CRAZY? Have you LOST your mind? Don't forget to salt them. You know you always forget to salt them. Use the salt. USE THE SALT! THE SALT!"

    The wife stared at him. "What the hell is wrong with you? You think I don't know how to fry a couple of eggs?"

    The husband calmly replied, "I wanted to show you what it feels like when I'm driving with you in the car."

    ha ha ha

    Thanks Grandmaster!
