As reported by Reuters: "House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank on Wednesday said he will introduce a bill this week to lift a ban on online gambling.

"...Frank, a Massachusetts Democrat, said he will introduce the legislation on Thursday.

"Internet gambling in the United States was effectively banned last October when President George W. Bush signed legislation outlawing gaming financial transactions..."


Thank God for Barney Frank. He doesn't take any crap of of anybody. Let's just hope those crazy crackers don't try to weasel out of this one.
