Don't Call Him Wesley

I admit that I am addicted to poker. I programmed my TiVo to tape any poker related show. The upside is a lot of professional poker. The downside is the execrable Hollywood Home Game, a World Poker Tour spinoff featuring "celebrities" playing abysmal poker. Ordinarily, I just delete the celebrity episodes but I noticed that Wil Wheaton was playing. Wil is a poker afficionado himself, so I decided to watch him for a bit.

But forget about the game. Wil's chosen charity was the Electronic Frontier Foundation, defender of Illegal Art, file-sharing networks and other important free speech issues in cyberspace. He is truly a man after our heart.

I haven't built up the stomach to watch the whole episode to see if Wil won, but I will eventually summon the strength to cheer him on.
