", ' I want all their money.' ANOTHER E-MAIL WAS READ BY BEN NIGHTHORSE CAMPBELL, THE ONLY NATIVE AMERICAN SENATOR AT THE TIME. At one time or another, according to your e-mails, you and Mr. Scanlon referred to tribes as morons, stupid idiots, monkeys, f-ing troglodytes, which you defined as a lower form of existence and losers. My question concerning your definition of those clients is this: Why would you want to work for people that you have that much content for? Mr. Chairman, I respect the committee's process, that's why I am here today. But in light of the correspondence that occurred between the committee and my counsel including the committee's decision not to make any provisions for my testimony though the grant of legislative immunity, I have no choice but to assert my various constitutional privileges against having to testify. ABRAMOFF INVOKED HIS CONSTITUTIONAL PRIVILEGE OVER AND OVER AGAIN. Senator I respectfully invoke the privileges as previously stated. SENATOR CAMPBELL PUT THE HEARINGS INTO HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE DURING THE TESTIMONY OF MICHAEL SCANLON, ABRAMOFF'S PARTNER IN CRIME. I have to tell you that for 400 hundred years people have been cheating Indians in America, so you're not the first one Mr. Scanlon. It is just ashamed that in this enlightened day that you have added a new dimension to a shameful legacy of what has happened to American Indians. You're the problem buddy of what happens to American Indians. "

"COLUMBUS — Ohio Attorney General Jim Petro today announced he filed suit against a Wisconsin company for selling instant bingo tickets and illegally selling bingo supplies in Ohio without first obtaining the required license, according to a news release from Petro’s office.
The tickets are also known as “pulltabs,” “tip tickets” and “rip off tickets.” The company allegedly sold the tickets to business and charities that were not licensed by the Ohio Attorney General’s Office to conduct those games.
The suit was filed in Franklin County Common Pleas Court against F.A.C.E. Trading Inc., also known as Face Card Promotions. F.A.C.E. is a Wisconsin corporation with its principal place of business in Kenosha, Wis.
“This company is blatantly disregarding Ohio gambling laws and, in so doing, taking money away from the charities the laws were created to benefit,” Petro said.
Instant bingo tickets are an exception to Ohio’s prohibition on gambling and are permitted because they are supposed to be used for the benefit of charities.
F.A.C.E. manufactures, markets and distributes “Ad-tabs” via sales staff and the Internet. The Ad-tabs product is an instant bingo ticket that has a coupon for discounts on certain goods or merchandise printed on one side, according to the news release. In this suit, Petro alleges Ad-tabs are instant bingo tickets and are therefore subject to regulations established by Ohio law.
The Ohio Department of Public Safety and the Ohio Attorney General’s Office have found Ad-tabs in locations throughout the state that were not licensed by Petro’s office to sell instant "

Horse racing TV network hopes to promote sport by airing in Alaska

Growing a sport: TVG Network, which bills itself as 'the largest interactive horse racing network in America,' is available to Juneau GCI subscribers even though betting is illegal in Alaska. When the network first started airing in Washington a few years ago, viewers there weren't able to bet either. But Washington's Legislature authorized online advance deposit wagering in 2004.
It's 10:16 on a crisp Monday morning in Juneau, and the first flurries of a severe winter storm have the roads looking dodgy at best.
But in the opposite corner of the country, it's 78 degrees, 2:16 p.m. and post time for the fifth race at Calder Race Course in Miami Gardens, Fla. The packed-earth track is fast and firm, and seven thoroughbreds are stepping into the gate with 5 1/2 furlongs ahead.
Welcome to the TVG Network, channel 309 for GCI subscribers with access to the $5, nine-channel 'Digital Sports' package. The seven-year-old TVG bills itself as 'the largest interactive horse racing network in America,' and has the numbers to back up its claim.
The network reaches more than 20 million homes, broadcasts live races 14 hours a day from more than 70 tracks worldwide. And its online account wagering service (www.tvg.com), available in 12 states, garnered approximately $400 million in total bets in 2005.
What's the attraction for Alaskans? Gambling - other than bingo, pull-tabs, raffles, contests of skill and some other charitable gaming activities - is illegal under Alaska law.

What started as an investigation into the hit-and-run of a pedestrian has ensnared a town of Cottage Grove supervisor in a gambling probe.
Michael D. Klinger, 53, who is also a volunteer firefighter for Cottage Grove, came under investigation after he allegedly hit a pedestrian on Oct. 21 after he finished a bartending shift at the Crossroads Inn, located on County AB.
A subsequent search of his Chevrolet Tahoe turned up cash and pull tabs that police said are evidence of illegal gambling, court documents say."

NWAnews.com :: Northwest Arkansas' News Source: "Bingo falls under Class II gambling, along with keno, pull-tabs, punchboards and card games in which players play against one another rather than against the house.
As long as Class II games are legal in a state, tribes are free to conduct them on their own land. But because tribal lands are domestic nations, they are not subject to state regulations, said I. Nelson Rose, an international expert on gambling law and a professor at Whittier Law School in Costa Mesa, Calif. As a result, large for-profit “bingosinos” based around Class II card games and bingo machines that resemble slot machines have sprung up in states like Florida and California. He cited the 130, 000-square-foot Seminole Hard Rock Cafe Casino in Hollywood, Fla., as an example. “The only way a state can stop a tribe from having ‘bingosinos’ is to outlaw charity bingo,” said Rose, who is not affiliated with any groups in Arkansas opposing the amendment.

Bottomfeeder: The Ham in Hamburger (Seattle Weekly): "At Uncle Mo's, the popcorn's fresh, the televisions are tuned to football, pull tabs pass the time between beers, a 10-ounce steak is $8.45 each Monday, and a blue-collared shirt bearing one's name is hardly, if ever, worn as an ironic fashion statement."
