So anyway, I was playing online poker for fun (Yes, it's politics)
And I come across a player who asks me this question:

(FYI, I was playing as Howard_Dean and had Dean's pic as my avatar)

ponyboytpd: hey howard are you a dean fan or is that for comic relief
howard_dean: yes, I'm a Dean supporter.
howard_dean: Got a problem with him?
ponyboytpd: dont get me started but i hope either he or sharpton wins the two easiest to beat
howard_dean: You'll be very surprised once he beats the Unelected Fraud, ponyboy.
ponyboytpd: lol

Normally, mention politics, and 50% of PokerStars people gets pissed off. But they're used to me because I play on a regular basis, and even converted a couple.

1. politics and poker
I was playing at yahoo the other day, and another player said he had to leave the game to cook dinner......turns out his wife is very ill, cancer with chemotherapy, and they have little to no health insurance benefits. I took the opportunity to remark about the sad state of healthcare in our country and boost universal healthcare. :)
