Rarified Ayre: Bodog founder starts blog

"Fire up my laptop. I'm having some strong feelings about bikinis today."

By Christopher Hunt

Never one to shy away from speaking his mind, gregarious billionaire and Bodog founder Calvin Ayre is finally cutting out the middle man and getting us straight to the source. Joining the likes of fellow billionaire Mark Cuban, Perez Hilton and a lot of frighteningly histrionic Clay Aiken fans, Ayre is now a blogger.

Delving in to "everything from the world of Bodog Entertainment to the latest industry news to the work being done through the Calvin Ayre Foundation," the new blog is called "Ayre Waves," and can be found at www.calvinayre.com.

Ayre started posting June 1, and since has weighed in on the Wu-Tang Clan living Bodog style (they make their own rules), Paris Hilton going to jail (pointless) and Dana White from the UFC taking pot shots at Bodog Fight and calling him a criminal (as long as White keeps mentioning Bodog, Ayre keeps making money, so he's fine with it).

You can expect postings regularly, Ayre says, and video entries a few times a month. An "Ask Calvin" feature is also built-in so you can send in questions.
