I deleted several political rants, and a couple of attacks. Please keep the politics in the blogs. If you'd like to discuss any of this political stuff with me, as far as what gets deleted and why, feel free to send me a PM, but please do not post those comments or questions in this thread.

Texas Lottery unveils scratch-off ticket that benefits veteransReply
Is a great idea but i agree with you litebets for me is too low but like usual they are always playing politics with it...Why not price it at: 5 or 10 dollars that way the VA gets: 90 million a year and actually a scratchoff means that it will be like 9 million for 1 or 2 years which to me if they are going to do that they shouldn't do anything...

Privatization of Texas lottery may get 2nd look in 2009Reply
I play the Texas Lottery every Wed and Sat., its a system with flaws. The TLC payouts are gerrymandered, you may get the advertised jackpot or some other amount based on TLC calculations. The formula can be downloaded from their website for each jackpot, if you trust the numbers. Rick Perry is trying to do anything to make his name a candidate for the GOP Veep nom, so I would not count on the privatization really happening, its just Texas Politics at it's best.

Record Powerball lottery winner gets endorsement offerReply
I'm always amazed to see how brain-washed some republicans are. It's always republicans = good and Democrats = Bad . I'll never understand how anyone can just blindly follow ANY political party. Anyone that's willing to take a honest look at American politics will freely admit that there are some good republican lawmakers, but most are not, and there are some good democratic lawmakers, but most are not. And I can tell from this post that this particular republican has been brain-washed for a

A look back at the North Carolina lottery in 2005Reply
When they get it up and running smoothly, revenues pouring in they'll all be pounding their chests declaring they knew it would be a great success all along. That's politics for you.

N.C. Lottery to join PowerballReply
Politics.Plain and simple.Gotta protect the people from managing their own money.The state wants their people to be sheep.They protected us for over 20 years from the Evil lottery so we wouldn't all go broke playing it.All the while,the state was taxing us into poverty,and still is.

Nine finalists in running for Texas Lottery chiefReply
The person apointed will be so because of politics, not talent. Whoever will look good to the media and make the fuss go away. Nothing else counts. Make the state money, and shut the press up. The winner will get to fire some mid-level people, rearrange the furniture, give a few press conferences, and then sit behind the wall and wonder why they wanted that position. Its the Government we are dealing with, not private industry.

Second-largest lottery jackpot in US history wonReply
By the way, congratulations also goes to all the residents of Oregon. In addition to all the excess money spent on lottery tickets, your lucky state is picking up between $13 million and $14 million in state tax revenue on the jackpot prize, should the winner take the cash option.Almost all of that money is all coming from other states into the State of Oregon.I don't know much about the politics in Orgeon, so I hope your state is run by fiscal conservatives, who won't blow it all on entitleme
