internet gambling
Heads up, this past Saturday Congress snuck in a bill which makes it illegal for credit card companies to process payments based on internet gambling. Its been attached to a bill on Port Security - don't you love the US? What the 2 have in common I have no idea. Anyway - in about 10 days its probably going to become law and partygaming.com and another major gambling company have said this will force them to shut down US operations.

Boo - gambling is evil, unless you gamble at one of the racetracks / casinos that contributes to our campaigns.

I still have my Paddy Power account but I am creating a stock pile of booze and dirty films in my basement now in case those are banned as well.

Just back from the basement where it turns out said stockpile already exists from my Y2K preperations. Talk to you all on Friday.

Internet gambling will become legal again when it hires lobbyists who know how to properly pay off congressmen and senators.
