The weather around here is not looking so good
for the upcoming weekend, so what better time

The key thing that separates DeucesCracked
from other sites is the fact members can download
all videos (DRM-free) to your computer and they are
yours to keep and watch even if you cancel your
subscription. (ie: you own them). Other sites have
their videos password protected so you cant watch
them once your subscription expires.

It's a great value, $30 for a month (no $100 signup
admin fee B.S. like most other sites) and you can
try it for 7 days free. If its not for you, cancel
(very easy to do, no tricks) and you wont be billed.

AJ Benza off HSP ?

Browsing http://Pokerati.com
I read that season 6 of High Stakes Poker
may not include co-host AJ Benza. During a
recent interview on the Miserable Men Show
on Sirius/XM radio, AJ Benza said he "found out
through the grapevine that they may replace him
with a female co-host." Benza later offered a
compromise to his GSN bosses. "I'm all for me and
Gabe doing the way we do it and then them going
down to a chick at the table after a big pot and then
kicking it back up to me and Gabe."

I dont think getting rid of Benza is a bad idea
necessarily, but replacing him with a woman likely is.
Gabe and AJ have a unique antagonistic rapport.
I dont think you can have that with a woman co-host.
Look at how many female hosts the WPT has had.
Almost one per season. Aside from Shana Hiatt,
of those ladies were ever able to develop any kind of
lasting connection with the audience.

Marc Emery

Warning: Zero Poker Content

Regardless of where you stand on pot,
this guys case should be important to
all Canadians.

On July 29, 2005, the RCMP arrested Marc Emery.
The arrest was the result of a U.S. Federal Grand Jury
indictment on charges of Conspiracy to Distribute Marijuana,
Marijuana Seeds and Conspiracy to Engage in Money
Laundering based on Emery's sale of seeds to US customers.
The U.S. Attorney's Office filed an extradition request with
the Canadian government that he be brought to Seattle to
stand trial. If convicted in the U.S. on either of the marijuana
charges, he could face prison sentences ranging from a
minimum of 10 years to life in prison.

Although the sale of cannabis seeds is also illegal in Canada,
Marc Emery has not been charged by Canadian authorities.

In early 2008, 2 of the charges Emery faced 'Conspiracy to
distribute marijuana and Conspiracy to engage in money

laundering', were dropped in exchange for his guilty plea
on the charge of conspiracy to manufacture marijuana.
The deal would see Emery serve a five year term for
violations of U.S. prohibition laws, but would serve it
on Canadian soil. On Canadian soil, he would have
been released on parole within a year. However,

the Conservative government of Canada refused
to agree to the deal. For that reason, Emery is now
faced with being imprisoned in a U.S. facility for
a full five-year term.

Today, Marc Emery turned himself in to authorities
and is in custody waiting to be extradited to the USA.
Emery will be held for 30 days to give him time to appeal
and then, once the federal justice minister has signed the
removal order, Emery will be handed over to the U.S.

Regardless of your beliefs on drug policy or Marc Emery's
activism, the fact remains that Marc Emery's case is about
sovereignty. I am not a pot-head. I'm an upstanding citizen,
who strongly believes in Canadian sovereignty and the

LIBERTY (www.thefreedictionary.com/liberty) of our citizens.
If a Canadian citizen is guilty of committing a crime in Canada,
then arrest and charge them in Canada. We shouldnt be
exporting our justice system to the United States and
we must not abandon Canadian citizen Marc Emery by
allowing his extradition.
