Online Gambling Officially Banned

President Bush signed a bill Friday to help prevent terrorists from sneaking a nuclear, chemical, or germ weapon into the United States inside one of the 11 million shipping containers that enter the nation each year - many without inspection.

The article states the president used the bill-signing ceremony to assert that Republicans were tough on terror.

Of course he failed to even mention that within the SAFE Port Act that was signed into law, it contained the online gambling ban legislation.

So just for everyone's information, most forms of online gambling are now banned as of Friday, October 13, 2006.

Please thank our government for not informing us.
