Despite Emperor Senator Frist's crackdown on online wagering, it can still be done if you do your homework.

So it gives me great pleasure to brag announce that my prop bet on West Virginia to win the men's NIT paid off nicely. Handicapping sports doesn't take nearly as much time as properly playing poker.

One benefit of not posting much is that posts stay on the front page for a while.

A couple of posts down, you can read TJX, parent company of TJ Maxx and Marshall's, downplaying a computer breach involving the theft of credit card numbers. "Substantially less than millions", a phrase I found nauseatingly funny at the time.

Now the number is estimated at 46 MILLION credit card numbers stolen. As a start.

Imagine my surprise.
