There is a TV show on the Bravo Channel on cable called "Celebrity Poker". It has a handful of actors playing the recently popular poker style called Texas Hold'em in front of an audience, and has running commentary by a play by play guy, Phil Hellmuth, a poker Champion, and a side kick to keep things light.
The object is to of course beat your opponents. However, the winnings, even if you lose, run from $5,000 to $100,000 and goes to the Charity of your choice. The money is then donated to the folks who were in the path of Katrina.
Wouldn't it have been great if one, just one, of the 'celebrities' chose for their cause the NRA!! defending the victims who were left powerless by the disarming orders? It's better than PETA for crying out loud.
I know, I know, crazy. But I just chuckled to myself thinking of an imaginary conversation where one of our own THR members had their NRA charity playing poker for the victims of the mayor of New Orleans and the Chief of their Boys in Blue.
have a great day,

p.s. Any "celebrities" here on THR that could get invited to the poker game and represent?
