Once again, U.S. tries to shut down Internet gamblingReply
Chewie I slapped my daughters butt, and she slaps her kids butt. The only reason that works...is because the kids didn't call the cops. The net is full of examples.

Democrats trying to ruin Calif. Mega Millions lottery participationReply
All multistate lottery should be banned. It involves millions of $ and is a breeding ground for government corruption. I should know, I have been a victim of this corruption for five years.
