The law is totally clear. Bad checks are civil matters, and criminal matters at the same time. The civil part helps the victim recover the funds lost. The criminal part is is to teach the perpetrator a lesson to help him stop writing them. The criminal conviction does not do anything to recover the money the victim lost.
You do not need to wait until 2012 to get Obama. This year, in November you can start paying him back by sending Harry Reid to his retirement home. I do not care if you are Democrat or Republican or Independent, you need to get rid of Harry, despite his protestations today, he is an enabler for Obama, and will continue if you allow him to remain in office. He is no friend of the Silver State.
Don't worry folks, everything is going to be fine. The stimulus money will kick in and start fixing everybody's problems any day now............. by next week for sure.
Brooks is not a country singer by any stretch of the imagination. It is an insult to true country singers to suggest that he is. Remember Chris Gaines?
I agree Phargo, I just never can understand why the WSOP allows Hellmuth to berate other players the way he does. When he begins calling names, it has gone too far. If he called me "idiot" (as he did last year) I would look him in the eye and call him "a**hole", and then just dare the WSOP to do anything about it. He is the King of Jerks.
How about this:
All casinos, restaurants, and bars be required to post a sign at the front door. It will clearly state if smoking is allowed inside or not. The public can then vote with their feet. What could be more fair?
Also, nobody is forced to work in the smoky places. Anyone who wishes can get another job. There are lots of outdoor jobs in Vegas, and I am sure plenty of outside workers would love to move inside.
The real problem is the taxi situation at McCarran.
The last few times I have visited McCarran, I have had to wait more than 60 minutes to get a cab. Last time was on a Sunday night at about 11:00 PM. Not really a rush hour. I have been going to Las Vegas since 1977, and neven have had this problem until 2 years ago.
I wonder how Fatboy likes them Goodyears now?
NA$CAR is just blindly chasing dollars around the country. They wrongly think going to the Golden State will yield golden rewards. Not only have they been wrong about the $$$, they are wrong about the interest, and wrong about the racing as well.

I agree with jerseypaulie. I like to see guys in uniforms and with Smith & Wessons on their hip. Big burly guys. When I first started visiting Las Vegas back in the 70s all the strip casinos had plenty of uniformed, armed security plainly visible. It never once bothered me.
