Pa. can't kick the gambling habit

Interested in a sure bet?

No, not whether the Eagles will successfully defend their Super Bowl title. If I knew that, I wouldn't be here. I'd be in Vegas.

Have you noticed that every time Pennsylvania finds itself in need of new revenue - and when was the last time that was not the case - it inevitably turns to an expansion of legal gambling.

Then slots.

Then table games.

Now online gaming.

Soon legal sports wagering.

We talk about it on our editorial page.
