Someone’s going to have to cough up some serious cash this year. That’s right, the NBA player whose posters adorn the bedroom walls of every NBA owner and head coach is finally on the market. Lebron James, coming off a shocker of a loss to the Celtics in the playoffs this year, now has several weeks to see what happens come July when a decision will be made on his future.

He has stated that he wants to stay in Cleveland but it’s clear that teams such as the Nets are courting him (a basketball pun, get it?). Where he lands remains to be seen but it will be interesting to see how his performance in the Celtics game weighs in the decision. He’s still looking at the prospect of leaving Cleveland with no Championship, something that seemed a given when he joined the team years ago.

Obama says Oil Execs bluffed – got called on the River

Fueled by the media sensation and intense scrutiny from every angle, the major players in last months explosion of the deep water oil rig, Deep Horizon – President Obama this week scolded the three companies involved. His major sticking point? That they are all blaming each other instead of working towards a solution.

The short version of the story is that these big pocketed Oil Execs all told the Government that “It’s cool, we have this safety thing taken care of”.

Of course, we now know that was a major bluff – akin to trying to bluff Gus Hansen off a set of Aces, it didn’t work because now Obama is on the attack. In stark contrast to Obama Poker – The new Omaha, this game is no bullshit. And Obama is calling their bluff.

Who will ultimately win this high stakes of political poker? Who knows.

My money is on Obama.

The first is for Mac lovers that are looking for honest to goodness .dmg Mac Download Poker sites.
