NOTE: I wasn't sure where to put this: no forum seemed quite appropriate.
There's a moderately interesting article in today's (Monday February 6) New York Times about the explosion of charity poker tournaments.

Personally, I love this: "But Arnie Wexler, a recovering gambling addict, said it was not that simple. "If you opened up a house of prostitution in downtown Chicago, people who never cheated on their wives would eventually go there because all of a sudden it's legal," he said. "You now have a new breed of people gambling who never gambled before because of these charity things that are right in their neighborhood.""
Yeah Arnie, it's exactly the same thing...
