The Brian D. O’Leary Show October 12, 2023 Try as I may, I still can’t shake not being a sports narrowcaster. The topic still comes up. At some point, I have to accept that it is part of who I am. An interesting thing came up today when I was listening to a podcast that my friend and Natural Order Podcast co-host Adam Haman was on. They mentioned a “Deep Thought” from Jack Handey. That got my wheels spinning, and thus this podcast. Links on topics mentioned are below… Brian O’Leary home page The O’Leary Letter Natural Order Podcast Brian O’Leary on 𝕏-Twitter ...

Rounders (1998)
Adam astounded Tom with his Mike McDermott impression: https://youtu.be/wZ7goMiVkT4
Online poker
Try not to tear up after reading the story of the demise of online poker in the United States of America. The Wikipedia entry…dig much further and you will indeed cry.
World Series of Poker Main Event
An event that Adam HAS NOT participated in. He mentions the famous 2003 WSOP main event won by a “nobody,” Chris Moneymaker, a 27-year-old accountant. Yes, his real name.
Moneymaker won a seat in the main event by winning a “satellite” online tournament. The poker craze took off for a while after Moneymaker’s victory, known as the “Moneymaker effect.”

Ron Paul presidential campaigns
We talk a little about the 2008 and 2012 presidential campaigns of Dr. Ron Paul.
I did not mention the essay I contributed to a book called Voices of Revolution: Americans speak out for Ron Paul. The ebook now appears to be free at lulu.com.
This book was put together for the 2012 campaign. There was a call to action on the Tom Woods Show for a writing contest of some sort, so I fashioned an essay and it ended up leading off the entire book (after the introductory essay by the editor). I encourage people to download it. My essay starts on page 17.
Nevada Ranked Choice voting fiasco
“NOTA” – None of the Above — could it be on the way out?
A good discussion on the Battle Born Podcast (with Adam)
1996 US Senate election in Massachusetts
The odious Bill Weld (R) ran against the evil John Forbes Kerry (D).
The California 12 district election from 1948
O’Leary mentioned that Richard Milhous Nixon garnered the nomination from both the Republican Party (of which he was a member and sitting congressman) and the Democratic Party.
It is unclear if this is true—we took a cursory revisionist historical glance at the evidence. What is true is that the Democrats did not run a candidate against Nixon.
Nixon was quite popular within the district—eastern Los Angeles area including Pasadena, Pomona, and Whittier—even with Democrats. The future president won 87.8% of the vote in 1948 compared to the 12.2% won by the Progressive Party candidate, Una W. Rice.
Fair to say that most Democrats voted for Nixon.
Ironically, the 12th congressional district is no longer a GOP stronghold. It is no longer in Southern California, either. Now it exists within the tony Democratic refuge of San Francisco.
The district is also the bastion of one “Cruella Demented,” known to her constituents and those throughout the nation as (former?) Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.
Occasionally my hero, Dennis Miller, has been known to rant and once noted that Pelosi, looks like “a Muppet washed on hot.” I cannot disagree.
More Miller on Pelosi:
