BILL FRIST has done great service on the anti-pork cause, but I can’t imagine what he’s thinking with this: “Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist is trying use a bill authorizing U.S. military operations, including in Iraq and Afghanistan, to prohibit people from using credit cards to settle Internet gambling debts.”

Internet gambling seems pretty lame to me, but if people want to do something as dumb as that, well, it’s their money. I don’t think Washington should tell them what to do. And, for that matter, I don’t think that this should be attached to a defense bill.
