Annie Duke's Testimony to Congress


Like many idiotic things our government does, The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 makes me sick to my stomach. In true slimeball fashion, Senator Bill Frist slipped this junk into a Port Security bill at the eleventh hour. Bill Frist is a megalomaniac power monger who, while in medical school after running out of experimental cat cadavers, collected cats from animal shelters under the guise of giving them a safe home, only to (in his own words) "treat them as pets for a few days, then carting them off to the lab to die in the interest of science." It's no surpise a scumbag like this snuck a complete affront to American freedom into a bill touted to bolster national security.

Annie Duke recently spoke to Congress on behalf of the Poker Players Alliance. Her testimony can be found here. It's a long read, it makes a lot of sense but personally I think she should have had me help her write it. Just kidding!!
