A Different Kind of Flop
Here's one of the Freakonomics guys on the government's idiotic law banning gambling on the Internets. It's hardly surprising that politicians would target online gambling, given how well those alcohol and pornography bans have worked out.

At the moment, there's nothing in it for the politicians to legalize on-line gambling. As soon as there is, look out . . . . Actually, now that I think about it, there's that broken Alternative Minimum Tax that's now taxing people never intended to be subjected to it and that they can't permanently fix until they figure out a way to plug the income hole. How about a tax on internet gambling???
Congress . . . can you hear me??
