The other day we had a somewhat lively debate about the lottery. Seeing the gentleman from KY win has caused a total re-think on my part.

I could drop 100 bucks on the lottery and not lose a moments sleep and without ever considering seriously that I might win. I spent 1 dollar.

This guy can't pay his bills, unemployment is about to run out and desperately scrapes together 8 bucks for tickets. That is truly scary.

How many people like this are playing with money they can't afford to lose. I am happy for him but wow. I guess the statistics do hold true, the more you can afford to lose the less you are likely to gamble.

The media was to blame for many years of the left-ward thinking of this crowd, and now with FOX, the truth is FINALLY coming out! People are finally realizing that the government is not allowed to take their money to give to people who won't work...It's been a long time coming, but it is arriving.

Slowly but surely, the beautiful people are looking more like the gaunt, one face lift too many crowd!
