Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., was determined to please his base with a new law before November's election, no matter how flawed or misguided it might be.

Frist must have a very small base because I haven't heard a peep from anybody about the dangers of internet gambling.

Steve opines: "The Feds are helping the states stomp out the competition with their state-run gambling monopolies (a.k.a. lotteries) and the heavily taxed and regulated state-sanctioned casinos."

And don't forget about them going after the video poker industry in stores...

"The Reagan Revolution is well and truly dead. The Republicans have become the party of statism. So the question is, will they beat the Democrats to a complete implementation of an authoritarian state?"

Sometimes I wonder if the Reagan Revolution actually started at all.
