Goodnight, moon
So, the same law that lets slots into Philly, so we can budget for the schools on the backs of gambling addicts, also lets legislators invest in gambling firms.
Boy, that's beautiful, isn't it? I wouldn't mind if they just voted themselves a raise, but to vote themselves a piece of the corrupting enterprise they brought into being through their own laws, and will then pretend to regulate.... Well, it's a classic case of the self-sucking ice cream cone, isn't it? More than a little crass. Even for our Republican legislature.
Gee, I like "crass," though. Gotta work "Crass warfare" into a headline....
Faugh.
