2010, a brokedick odyssey: Before this year is over, mark our words, you will have the option of playing slots in an oxygen-pumped prole sarcophagus on Delaware Avenue among both The Greatest Generation and some of the saddest unskilled laborers Sugarhouse’s dirty, dirty money can buy. Maybe even by August! Also this year: Legalized table games. Probably, anyway. Talk of PA legalizing table games at the state’s ever-increasing number of dogshit sadboxes had been significantly ramping up during the second half of ‘09, and now it’s pretty much a fait accompli: Fast Eddie is demanding a table games bill from PA reps by the end of the week, or, so help him God, he’ll hide the money in a place no one wants to see it. Which, if you’ve been following, means less that pols need to agree that we all want table games (casino lobbyists have already assured them that you do), but more that they need to agree on where the grease goes. And at the risk of overstating the obvious, that’s not something you want to ask Ed Rendell himself.
