Classic.

The state of North Carolina is flipping the couch cushions looking for cash — and along comes state Sen. David Hoyle to slide up and say, “You know video poker…”

The pot-o-gold is supposedly up to $576m. in revenue for the state. Hoyle says video poker would be “heavily regulated” to make sure that — what exactly? That every possible dime associated with the gambling machines flows to state coffers?

Bingo! Or should I say, “B Nineteen! Beee Nine. Teen.”
