Virginia is for Lovers....and Gamblers


    In one of the largest lottery cases in the nation in quite sometime, a Washington and Lee professor is filing suite against our friends at the Virginia Lottery for the production of false advertising. The professor, Scott Hoover, states that the institution falsely advertised tickets which had no chance of giving a purchaser the big jackpot. According to local CBS affiliate WDBJ7, Hoover is asking for the reimbursement of "an estimated 26.5 million tickets" purchased over a period of 5 years. 
   
    In a hasty decision, the VA Loto asked a judge to dismiss the case on the grounds that Hoover was in no position to question the Lottery's decision. However, the Richmond Circut Court judge disregarded the dismissal inquiry

    So why is this a big deal? Well, recently the VA Loto was in some hot soup for their print of "invalid" tickets which had so many people claiming a 777,777 dollar prize that the most anyone would get was about $17. The Lottery has tried their best over the past years to improve the quality of their scratchers so as more prizes could be distributed. The next issue would be where the money from the Hoover case has and will go to. The VA Loto's biggest Charity is education. With a 26 million dollar education donation over the past 5 years in question, some may wonder why this is a bad thing. Well, it's not really. The fact of the matter is that if you gamble, you gamble. Getting some Lucky Seven tickets at 7-11 doesn't mean you'll be the next Bill Gates. You have a better chance of getting struck by lightning...twice. 

     While the case is not over, Hoover does have a valid argument. The tickets did say that a winner was guaranteed. But, fine print is an institution's best friend. VA Lotto is no Vegas, folks. There will be winners and losers. There are a few ways to actually win...not a large amount, but a fair amount...thru lottery tickets and scratchers. In the mean time, just support the cause and thank God you can gamble. Just...don't get addicted. Good luck.

Passing the baton to Mr. O

     Obama today formally met with President Bush inside his new digs. As Shepard Smith put it, "The husbands are getting down to business" while Mrs. Obama and First Lady Bush set out to fung sae. COS Emanuel said that the transitional period is crucial to "get what the people want." A call for executive orders today hinted at Obama surplussing the newly bound Stem-Cell research policy and a heap of overthrowing of new drilling laws. Though, not official, many believe that Obama will do the former. Mr. 44 was in good spirits while talking to 43. Obama had never been to the White House, contrary to what South Park might tell you, according to an Obama spokesman.

The transitional task force is mainly put in place to protect the American people in case of dire emergency or an attack.

Silly Liberals, Jokes are for Conservatives!


      This election was aided greatly by new technology abroad. From CA to GA, millions of people professed their civic duty on the more than popular social networking group, Facebook. But, from CA to GA, hundreds have professed their pick of the presidency as well. While we all should give Obama a chance, that is if he makes it in, conservatives and leftist bashing alike need to stand up and fight for what is Right, no pun of course. The difference between the 

 the Internet phenomenon, Facebook logo 


Facebook bashing and cyberbulling is very controversial in some regions, but it is fairly clear from my point of view. The  debate is solely politically driven. However, if you are one to get on facebook and say that someone doesn't know anything or "I hate you" or even "Go to hell you fucking liberal," then, maybe, then you might be going to far. 

      The ones, select ones, who actually do their research before putting an apocalyptic video in the status bar deserve kudos. It is good to see that some people are passionate about something, even if it may be over and some think it's ridiculous to "bitch." I disagree with this "bitch" remark. Us conservatives have a deep passion in protecting what is ours. We are at a point in history where the Conservative Uprising is evident and inevitable. We are not dead, and by God, we will never call this man a president. America let us down by listening to his endless lies and believing in Hope and Change. America is not ready for him for a number of reasons. Furthermore, I seriously doubt many people realized what they have done. 56 million people had  a bad day on Tuesday, but they also became stronger. 

      Let us remember what the Bible tells us. This and all things are in our Father's hands. We have no say in what happened or what will happen. It all occurred for a reason. God is tempting those that are not strong. Things are going to change and probably not for the better. So, the day will come when us Rightists can say "I told you so." If we don't stick together, we'll lose our minds. So, let's stay sane for awhile. God Bless You and God Bless America.

Emanuel and the "Messiah"

Now  that the election is over, thank God, Obama must pick his cabinet officials. The most important is of course the chief of staff. Rahm Emanuel, Rep. from the political machine. Emanuel has now accepted the position. Emanuel is described by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R SC) as "tough but fair." 

Obama will hold his first press conference tomorrow sometime. He will meet with President Bush on Monday
