-This could be something they put in the movie "Major League." So the Brewers are tied for first place again after dropping out of it for a bit. They took on the Reds yesterday, and before I could get settled in were down 10-0. They should've seen signs that it wasn't gonna be their day when they were hitting in the first inning. The inning ended on a caught stealing at third base, which you NEVER do in baseball with 2 out. Why?
"I had a mosquito bite in a certain spot and I was itching it, and Nick thought I was putting the steal on," Brewers manager Ned Yost said, referring to third-base coach Nick Leyva.
- Headline: Millionaire US Rep Wins Lottery Again. The US Rep in this story is James Sensenbrenner, who was famous for his role in the Clinton impeachment trials, and happens to have an office in and represents my hometown of Brookfield, WI. He apparently spends $10 a week on lottery tickets, and the article says he's won the lottery three times... once for $250,000 and twice for $1,000. I give him the $250,000. That's winning. The two times for $1,000? Sorry, he still doesn't come out ahead, since in a year, he spends $520 in tickets. So unless he's played less than 4 years, the lottery is still making money off him.

yeah $1k is nice, but that's not "winning" the lottery. Kind of misleading there.
If he had invested $520 per year for his entire life (assuming from age 18-78, and a 7% annual return), he'd have $452,643. That's a lot better return than $270,000.
I say all state politicians should be required to spend money on the lottery. (And trust me, that's a punishment, not a reward).
