It has been reported (in The ChristLast Media, I must note) that the current Pope does not like the phrase "lead us not into temptation...

Pennsylvania's government offers a new way to steal from the poor.

AP: Pennsylvania's first slots casino opens

WILKES-BARRE, Pa. - Pennsylvania's first slot-machine parlor, Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs, opened Tuesday to a shower of confetti and rain as the state embarked on its ambitious plan to have gamblers pay for cuts in property taxes.

Hundreds of gamblers — mostly senior citizens — poured into the casino as the doors were opened and occupied most of its nearly 1,100 seats in less than 10 minutes.

(Cue Slow Eddie Rendell's maniacal laugh.) He was right! It is easy to steal food and rent from the elderly!

Inside, Wilkes-Barre car dealership manager Vince Esposito was one of the first to start playing, putting a $20 bill into a Double Powerball machine.
"That's entertainment," he said as he pushed the button. Right beside him, Sharon Chapman of Summit Hill put in $20 and hit for $50 within two minutes.

The Mohegan Indian tribe of Connecticut, owner of the Pocono Downs harness racing complex in Plains Township outside Wilkes-Barre, spent $70 million on a slots parlor that includes two gambling floors with nearly 1,100 machines, a bar, and a food court with three restaurants.

First of all, the word is SEX, not GENDER. If you are ever tempted to use the word GENDER, don't. The word is SEX! SEX! SEX! SEX! For example: "My sex is male." is correct. "My gender is male." means nothing. Look it up. What kind of sick neo-Puritan nonsense is this? Idiot left-fascists, get your blood-soaked paws off the English language. Hence I am choosing "male" under protest.
