Black Monday Averted
By: Dan Michalski – September 21, 2006 By the way, can't believe we didn't report this yesterday ... but the pro-poker forces scored a big indirect victory this week, as Senator Bill Frist's effort to lump the Internet Gambling Prohibition Act in with a major defense-spending bill failed.

This is huge, because had he succeeded it would have been an almost sure-fire guarantee of passage and all of our lives subsequently changing, at least on paper. Online poker players aren't out of the muck yet, but it's looking more and more likely that the Senate won't vote on this bill.
