Happy 8th Birthday Flopping Aces
November 13th, 2004 was the day I started Flopping Aces on a whim with a post about Arafat’s death and Bush winning the election. I had blogged prior to that about my law enforcement career but soon found that to be a bit controversial at work and seeing that I was always interested in politics and foreign affairs I decided to start this blog. I picked the name on a whim also. I was a poker fanatic at the time so I figured why the hell not. No one is going to read it anyways.
