From an AP story by Phil Rawls:
"They can call it bingo if they want, but it's not bingo. Bingo is played on paper," Sen. Charles Bishop, R-Jasper, said.
Uh, OK. Some other examples please?
- They can call it a book on that Kindle thing if they want, but a book is made of paper!
- IBM can call it chess if they want, but chess is played on a board!
- PBS can call it a play if they want, but a play is done on stage!
- They can call it a wheel if they want, but wheels are made of stone!
- They can call it boxing if they want, but fightin's done on the Senate floor!

Minor correction...Charles Bishop is a Republican.
Right you are..correction made. He was a Democrat for a very long time and I had forgotten his conversion. The AP story had him as a D too!
Difference is we have a legal definition of what bingo is and what illegal gambling is.
