Round Mound Rebounds From Casino Debt

Posted May 20th 2008 7:31PM by TMZ Staff

NBA Hall of Famer and legendary blackjackaholic Charles Barkley has finally forked over a check toward the $440,000 he owes the Wynn Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas -- but officials have yet to confirm that Barkley paid in full.

According to a Wynn rep, the check has been sent to the Las Vegas D.A.'s office for processing.

Barkley insists he's giving up gambling for the next couple of years -- wanna bet?

12. For most of these WHITE PEOPLE who are voting AGAINST OBAMA (of which I am one) I don't think it's because they HATE Obama or African Americans. It's actually not surprising or really all that horrible that white people would prefer to vote for a white person to be the president. To me, Barack Obama seems like a good guy but his inexperience and my brand loyalty to the Clintons, as well as his RACE, make it virtually impossible for me to ever vote for him for president. I also think that there is inevitably going to be anger in a black man in this country, which Obama is certainly covering-up to some degree. So it's just one of those things where there's no easy answer. But being a US Senator has got to be considered a happy ending, right?
