I think it's time to introduce Mr. Whittaker to the Seven Philosophies for the Native American Man Maybe he can learn a few things from this...The wisdom of Native Elders is contained int he Seven Philosophies and is offered to Native American men so that they may be better fathers, sons, husbands, uncles, relatives, friends, Tribal members and citizens of the countries in which the live. The Seven Philosophies point the way towards a return to the values of Native American culture for the heal... [ More ]

I think that as long as Jack continues to live life on the edge he will always be news worthy. Even after he gets drunk enough to kill one of his fellow West Virginians in his luxury vehicles. Maybe he'll try and buy his way out just like all the other rich do-gooders in life

great amounts of money will not solve problems, it only tends to magnify them...He probably won because he was already rich... he bought 100 QPs at THAT store, who knows how many he had prior form others.it takes money to make money, I guess...I still cannot figure out why this joker is newsworthy?

It seems that he doesn't know how to deal with his wealth. If I had that kind of dough I would have a driver for my partying nights. For that matter I would hire a driver for every day. If this clown gets into an accident someone's gonna sue his pants off. This guy needs a body guard and a chafferer. And I'll bet his pride won't let him. I'll bet he even makes his wife still cook and clean house. Maybe he'll wake up soon if he keep this pace they be writing his obit. If he's trying to get into t... [ More ]

That's it Jack,,,you tell the cops when your drunk.. Well maybe the judge will see that you need time away from your money...and will give you a little pokey time to re-invent yourself,,,,,cause after this will come what,,,shooting your gun within the city limits maybe?but my guess is that with the excption of the the strip club incident and the break-in to your truck,,,the rest probably would have still happened.
