I am taking a two days vacation here in Italy. However I am never too far from my 8300 BlackBerry or my trusty X41 IBM computer. I just read the first sane news from the United States Congress about online gambling. Readers know that I have railed against the various actions taken by Congress against online betting.

Check out the report from reporter Roy Mark of our Internet.Com which discusses the good works of Representatives Barney Frank of Massachussets Robert Wexler of Florida and Jim McDermott of Washington to bring some sanity to American laws in relation to online gambling.
