"Move it Shorty"

It seems like a fine expression when a short stack at table is holding up game making a decision every hand.

It does not seem like respect when "Move it Shorty" is said by the Demon Child as she walks behind her mother. Now I am beginning to wonder is kid really still growing or is my wife shrinking?

To review a betting sequence:

1) Democrats in Massachusetts expect Kerry to beat Bush in 2004.

2) Governor is Republican so they change long established rules from Governor appoints interim Senator to call for special election.

3) Kerry loses.

4) Devan Patrick (Dem) wins Governors Office.

5) Senator Kennedy dies.

6) Republican Senate candidate wins Teddy's old seat, putting in doubt legislation Senator Kennedy worked for most of his career.

Well played Massachusetts Democrats!

I played super turbos rather than the new "Rush Poker" to get my requisite 100 point goal.
I am behind ironman bonus clearing pace at this point, but tutoring demon child in algebra plus new project at work is kicking my ass.

I had a change of heart and played some 'Rush Poker', I had heard play was terrible so gave it a shot. It took ~40 minutes to get in 150 hands and win 2.5 buyins.
