Andy Morriss, my co-blogger over at Market Correction, sent this spot-on letter to the Wall Street Journal:
At first, when I read your headline âStates give gambling a closer lookâ (Mar. 3) I thought you were reporting on yet another âstimulusâ or âbailoutâ bill in which politicians played games of chance with taxpayersâ money. Hardly news â just another âdog bites manâ story. Then I realized it was just a story about allowing ordinary people to risk their own money - now thatâs a âman bites dogâ story!
