Mass. Governor Advocating Casinos But Wants Two-Year Prison Terms for Online Gamblers
The hypocrisy of some of our elected representatives never ceases to amaze me. In a bill to allow three brick-and-mortar casinos in the Bay State, Massachusetts governor Deval Patrick has proposed two-year jail terms and a $25,000 fine for folks caught gambling online. I grew up in Massachusetts and I never thought I would see casinos open up in this state. The new Governor Deval Patrick apparently doesn’t have any moral problems with gambling, but certainly doesn’t want to give the citizens of his state the freedom to spend their gambling dollars where they see fit. This is a blatant example of a trend that is all too pervasive in the United States – gambling should be allowed only if it fills the government’s coffers and any other types of gambling are deemed “immoral”. Help fight this hypocrisy by contacting Mr. Patrick and let him know how you feel.

MITCHELL REPORT IS OUT , NAMES WERE NAMED
Clemens, Pettitte, Bonds, Tejeda named in steroid scandal. George Mitchell says “ NO Punishment For Past Sins.” Is what he reccomends to the MLB Commissioner, Bud Selig. Whatever! The same people that controll people say financial problems, strike years, and some other bullshit prevented athaletes from being monitored .
Gangne? what the F—-!
OK. EVERY GAME PLAYED THAT IS SUSPECT OF STEROID USE , I MEAN ,EVER PLAYED IS AN ASTERISK ! IT HAS TO BE . BONDS HR RECORD ASTERISK, NHL, NBA , NFL, DO I HAVE TO GO ON ? BUUUUULLLLLLLLLLLLLSSSSSSHHHHHHIIIIIITTTTT!
Pettitte’s athletic trainer turns him in for asking about Steroids. This guy makes a living off Andy tipping him at seasons end for washing his jock and trimming his toe nails. WOW! why would he turn in Pettitte? Money and Fame !
The only reason Iron Mike was not busted for juicing it !, is because I wasn’t good enough to make the man be jealouse of me!
