A.C.

I have a lot to say about Atlantic City, but I don't know where to start. Here's a story that sums the place up for me.

The 440-pound New York City man said he was playing poker in an Atlantic City casino for 17 hours Tuesday and didn't have time to clean up. He understands why grossed-out gamblers complained about his body odor, but said he didn't deserve stinky treatment from the casino that asked him to leave. He said he told casino officials: "There's no question I stink. I'm not denying it. I do have an odor. I've been playing for 17 hours." (ABC News)

17 straight hours in a casino? The whole aura of addiction surrounding gambling is weird, foreign and creepy to me. More later.
