According to this little article the great Barney Frank is going to start formally attacking the UIGEA starting arouund April 18th. The article says Frank is going to move beyond rhetoric and "move swiftly" against the "stupid" provisons of the UIGEA

(I don't know about you all, but I think Barney Frank deserves at least a small campaign contribution from every single poker player, and everyone who wants internet freedom as well. I know I am going to make a contribution to his campaign fund.)

Would you say that if our biggest defender in Congress was a heterosexual woman? Why do you think that is funny?

Seriously, can we leave any irrelevant gay comments out of Barney Frank discussions on this forum? He's our best ally and should be treated with respect.

A poker carve out from UIGEA as a clean separate bill looks as if it is dead as a door nail, but a bigger and more forceful bill is on a well lit horizon; leave it to Congressman Frank to keep it narrow enough to stay tightly within the reins of his committee.

Any speculation as to what the nature of a bill suitable for the Financial Services Committee might be like, and how useful it might be in saving teh pokah?

And even if he wasn't our best ally, who the [censored] cares if he's gay? I've never seen horns growing out of a homosexual's head.

Ok, why was my post edited?

I didn't make any gay reference, nor would I.
