Jack wasn't Unlucky:

He just Reaped what he Sowed!

A mind once stretched by a new idea never returns to its original dimensions!

Why didn't Whittaker seek a Trust Fund?  Hum, makes you wonder, huh?

Deep inside I like Mr. Whittaker and I feel very bad about what happened with his granddaughter, not just that she died but everything leading up to it. That being said, we are the product of the choices we make. He chose to buy 115 powerball tickets. He chose to make known how generous he would be with it (first BIG mistake! If I ever win I will sound like Scrooge's Evil Nephew!) Then the obvious, he flashed money (2nd BIG mistake) at the Pink Pony (it's been razed since based on Google Earth images) and with such attention and the image of being a rich drunk now all the bad apples flocked to him and worse, his granddaughter. He did buy land and he expanded his 3 construction companies (Diversified Enterprise) and helped Churches and poor people (for a while at least) but with a combination of drinking and gambling and his busy hands he probably lost a lot of money and I don't know whether to believe this story of his "Personal 9/11" on his bank accounts because once someone starts bouncing million-dollar checks (fourth BIG mistake) that's a sign to question what they say. I tried to find that slot machine he invented but no sign of it at C's in A.C. Anyway, again, I LIKE Mr. Whittaker and I wish I could help him in some way (for free, really) but all I can do right now is pray for him. He is a very proud man, that's why he won't look for a cab ride and his general attitude. This is not to put him down, it's an honest assesment of his situation and how he got there. I'd rather be hearing stories about what poor people he helped or what things he built for the community than all the negative things.

To create the image, I found this on the Internet:

Jack Whittaker

Then I used Photoshop to carefully cut out Jackie Boy and feather the edges, so it looked like this:

Jack Whittaker

Then I took my standard frame:

...And added a background gradient, the word "Jack", removed the little line, and resized his mug to fit:

Jack Whittaker

Voila!

Good luck!

This guy should run for President of the United States.

He's certainly incompetent enough.

'ol jack he did have a stack

now no one has his back

his cash is low

feeling like an everyday joe

tragedy struck

for the love of a buck

his life in shambles

can't afford sandals

feeling very spent

down to his very last cent

the haggard look is on his face

killing the pain with another case

the alcohol numbs the pain

amounts spent insane

well its too late

today is the date

cruel cruel is his twist of fate
