Cashing in on the casino and divorce business in your basement? McPhillips Station better watch out!

Big Grin  I roll my eyes every time I drive past there -- A huge building dedicated to convincing people to throw money away.   Many years ago I did a 3-hour stint there, volunteering with a non-profit group to raise funds by manning the lottery ticket booth.  It was appalling to see people pushing $50 or $100 bills across the counter to buy mass quantities of break-open or scratch tickets.

More recently, the local humanist group had PZ Myers come in to speak and rented a room at McPhillips Station's evil twin, Club Regent.  In the course of looking for the meeting room, I had to walk across the casino floor.  With the noise and the cacophony of lights from all the machines in an otherwise dark room, I'm amazed I didn't come down with a case of seizures.  Something tells me I should avoid going to Vegas at all costs.

The last time I was in Las Vegas was y2k, with the family for the "Star Trek Experience". What a fucking joke that was. Also, the whole thing is just a cattle call to casinos and that ridiculous pawn shop. There isn't a anything beyond decadent lechery, lose-it-all gambling, or the eventual homicide to be a reason to avoid the place. PZ was probably paid to be there. It would take a pile of money for me to go there. I don't think that anyone has a big enough pile to get me there ever again. Dodgy

Charles Manson is dead.

Trying to determine how I feel about that.

On the one hand I feel icky feeling good that someone died.

On the other hand, the world is short one truly messed up individual today and that's not a bad thing.

Reading about Della Reese's death. Kinda was meh about that pseudoreligious show on, what, CBS? But she seemed like genuinely good people.
