Hands tremble with great vengeance and FURious anger as I type. Yesterday I posted my video golf course tour. Nothing short of groundbreaking and truly, a landmark in journalism as we know it.

But there's a dark side.

This afternoon I'm running out the door to an interview when a fellow reporter asked me "if I'd seen Dagger's poker video."

Dagger's a columnist for the paper. She also hosts our Monday night poker sessions, along with her boyfriend, so it was only a matter of time before she ran a "Poker Party" story in our rag's Life section.

Well check out her fucking video. (link down the page to the right, professionally written "HOW TO THROW A PARTH.") I can't believe this is out on the Web, condoned by my own employer, me powerless to stop it...

I categorically deny these baseless allegations - complete bullshit. Also, I'd like to point out she failed to mention I have the longest-running win streak in our group, and that I took the $50 first-place prize Monday night, potentially sparking a new run.

Here's a journalism-ethics-question first: Can you sue your own paper for libel?

Just unbelievable. I may have to go Hezbollah next Monday night and ruin her perfect little snack buffet.
