Just a quick note... For those of you who "gamble" "online" at "poker sites" or "sports betting parlors", you might be interested to read this snipet in USA Today.

I'll be interested to see how the industry responds to the bill (soon to be law). My guess is that people aren't just going to leave a multi-billion dollar industry on the table. They'll work around it somehow (e.g., set up other corporations to which credit card companies can make payments, etc.) Oh well, should be interesting.

I'm working here in London this week and I just ran into the Queen of England. She asked me to lay a bet for her on vegasinsider.com:

QEII: "Take Stanford and the points."

Me: "Sorry, Lizzy. Looks like you're now S.O.L."

QEII: "Tossers!"

How about someone in Congress regulates its own pedophile members before passing laws regulating online poker? Just a thought.

Did anyone else see NYC is thinking of banning trans fat in restaurants? Watch "V for Vendetta," an otherwise terrible and unremarkable movie, for a nice picture of how this type of regulation ends.
