   I played poker with Ken last night.

   BTW, Dave gets a special sticker for most audacious bluff perpetrated against me last night. Good hand :).

   Dave, is the Ken you’re referring to playing cards with the same “Pundit” guy who is on Fox as Ken Bell?
   You didn’t make that clear. I think Frank and I are confused.
   If so, he seems like a very reasonable fellow.

   Yes, Ken Bell is the Ken I played cards with. Justin knows the story best, but it seems that out of the blue, probably because Ken has a finance blog, Fox News wanted him to comment.

   I stumbled across the clip on YouTube, so I thought I’d post it. I suppose this is just a natural progression to the good-natured ribbing that Ken, as a matter of course, will have to endure.

   He is a reasonable fellow, and likable.

   Here’s Ken’s blog: http://www.marketrubbernecker.blogspot.com/

   Here’s the blog post that got noticed by a producer for Fox and turned him into a pundit: http://marketrubbernecker.blogspot.com/2008/06/energy-inflation-and-speeding-tickets.html

   For those keeping track at home, Ken was my landlord when I first moved to North Carolina. That’s how I know him. We play poker together, and since I know Dave through the Concert Singers, that completes the circle :-). But now that you know that, I guess I’ve gone and made myself redundant vis-a-vis the popular party game “6 Degrees of Ken Bell.”

    Dave, how much money did you “not win?”
