a better answer to his "woman as President" post than the one I gave him. Look for a thorough analysis of female presidential candidates in the next few days.
By the way, where is everyone? There's been some good posts up here accompanied by the sound of crickets chirping. Is everyone on vacation?

No crickets here, but I am in shock. With the likes of Leland, Derek and Eric, NO ONE, and I repeat NO ONE has flamed the Feds or the House for their stance on on-line Gambling.
Are you guys asleep at the wheel? I've been foaming at the mouth about this for weeks.
My lobbiest is working hard to crack down on this online gambling thing that has taken away a lot of my business. Let's just brush this one under the carpet and go about our Friday business and let the gov and the feds protect our interest. Next topic!!!
To switch things back to Don's comment, I don't think that this is a big story, or big deal. Most major credit card companies already restrict the use of transferring funds from the card to an online account. I wasn't able to use by BOA Visa card for at least 3-4 years. The online sites already have workarounds for this by using third parties to deposit money for you, like Paypal. I have one now and from what I can tell, they aren't targeting these types of companies. You also have the option to continue to deposit cash to these sites, which is very easy. So really this is just a formality to back up what most credit card companies are already doing.
Please correct me if I'm reading the bill incorrectly.
Good luck reading the Bill, I got lost early on and stopped. But I did find it ironic that betting on the ponies OR the state lottery on-line is protected. Nice double standard.
Did you catch the news story of the Feds arresting the CEO of BetOnSports (a company based in England) in Dallas during a lay-over on his way to Costa Rica?
I'm mean seriously. Find a way to get some revenue from the activity and then move on with life.
Well, I haven't been too concerned since most analysts say that the bill has almost no shot in the Senate.
The reason? The exceptions (or exclusions) that Don talks about below for horse racing and lotteries.
If it passes, what a statement you can make: "I am against the evils of gambling - it hurts the children! Now go visit your local race track or play the pick 3! Now twice daily!"
I mean, seriously. Please stop this. Stop making fools of yourselves, House Republicans (although they were shown to be on the right side of the immigration debate)
