Posted on: Vegas judge approves $85 million Wal-Mart settlement

"Starbeams" - you honestly think that K-Mart only stocks products made in the USA?!?!?! You are off your rocker!

Furthermore, the simple law of capitalism is supply and demand. Consumers demanded lower prices, better variety, and more convenience. They got it.

Posted on: Vegas properties hit hard as Harrah's reports wider 3Q loss

Oh, Denver...let's correct a few things, OK?

Q3 Net Income:
Harrah's: -$1.624 Billion
Wynn: $34.2 Million
Boyd: $6.3 Million
LVS: Announcing later this week

You see, dear Denver, all the others posted a PROFIT, albeit lower than the same quarter a year ago. Harrah's, however, lost $1.6 Billion. Who do you blame? Gary boy that jockeyed as hard as he could for the LBO that made him $90 Million richer or Steve Wynn that is still turning a profit?

Before you claim 'record quarterly losses,' do a little research. It will make you appear considerably less foolish.

Posted on: Harrah's hires former Disney executive for new position

Sporty, give me a break. The problem is that Harrah's is incredibly management heavy. Plus, they are so heavily levered, they can barely pay the bills. They are robbing Peter to pay Paul - at twice the interest rate. 9,000 employees get laid off and the rest lose their 401(k)s...and they hire this schmuck...

Posted on: Caesars Palace dealers protest on Strip

I'm not a pro-union kind of guy, but I'll get behind any reason to protest the morons at Harrah's.

Posted on: Hundreds rally against Harry Reid, proposed health care reform

So...if these people are so outraged over government spending, where were they when George W. Bush increased the federal budget from $1.9T when Bill Clinton left office (with a surplus) to $3.1T with a defecit (thanks to a pointless, ill-advised war)? So, it's just selective outrage or what?
