Business As Usual

“WASHINGTON - Congressional Republicans attached a measure cracking down on Internet gambling to a bill aimed at enhancing port security that passed Saturday.”

Republicans have always been keen on legislating morality and it looks like gambling is their latest target. I wonder how much this war on gambling will cost us in the years ahead? I already know it won’t be won.

“Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, (R-Tenn), and Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz), pushed for the gambling provision to be added to the larger bill.

“Kyl and Frist previously tried unsuccessfully to put the measure on a bill authorizing funding for the military, but critics said the Defense Department bill was no place for the gambling measure.”
but it’s OK for these two bozos to add it to a port security bill?
