• INTERNET GAMBLING: Anti-Bet Action Unsure In Senate

WASHINGTON -- Despite last week's overwhelming vote in the House for Internet gambling restrictions, the outlook for similar legislation in the Senate appears uncertain. Two key senators, Republicans Jon Kyl of Arizona and Richard Shelby of Alabama, on Tuesday pledged to move aggressively on Internet gambling controls. But the Senate Banking Committee still has not scheduled a vote on Kyl's bill to outlaw credit cards, checks and electronic fund transfers to pay for online wagers. The House passed those restrictions last week by a vote of 319-104. "We're pushing this bill," said Shelby, the chairman of the Banking Committee. "I'm sure there will be (a committee vote)." But Shelby said he did not know when the vote might occur. The Banking Committee conducted a hearing on the Kyl bill on March 18. Shelby and Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., remain the only co-sponsors of Kyl's bill. [...] US RESIDENTS / US ONLINE PLAYERS : ACT NOW FOR THE FREEDOM ! WWW.PROFREEDOM.COM | WWW.PROTECTONLINEGAMBLING.COM

• Ladies' Day at Royal Ascot Made by Naked Man

BERKSHIRE, England -- Notorious serial streaker Mark Roberts crashed the Royal Ascot today while sporting temporary tattoos advertising Internet casino GoldenPalace.com. The Royal Ascot is renowned for its strict dress code. Ladies are asked to wear formal day dress with a hat covering the crown of the head. Only black or gray morning dress with the top hat or service dress is acceptable for gentlemen. In general, most people attending Royal Ascot take the opportunity to put on their best clothes. Not surprisingly, a naked Roberts caused quite a stir. In honor of Ladies' Day, the infamous streaker arrived at the event dressed in elaborate drag, wearing a full-length black batwing dress. At 3:40 p.m. local time, he jumped onto the track as the horses and riders were warming up for the main race. Pretending to be intoxicated, Roberts stumbled around the track while slowly performing a strip tease for an increasingly appreciative crowd. Then, in an absolutely hilarious display, Roberts removed the rest of his clothing and ran along the track smacking his rump and galloping along with the horses that sped past him. Roberts' antics won the crowd over as they cheered and laughed before security removed him from the track. [...]
