Moron of the Week Award

The Gentleman Farmer is an avid fan of the lottery. (Incidentally, the Hired Hand is a fan of "The Lottery," but that's a little different.) G.F., with some regularity, forks over a few bucks in the hopes of receiving his heaven-sent fortune. I don't think he's ever considered the possibility of not being able to keep it, however.

From deep in the heart of Texas:
A convicted drug dealer rolled snake eyes Wednesday when an appeals court ruled he can't keep his lottery winnings because he bought the lucky ticket with drug proceeds.
Oops. Full story HERE.

Presented for your delectation by the Hired Hand at 12:29 AM

Hey, look, we're scrambling desperately to fund the money to pay for school funding here in Texas. We'll use any avenue we can, even pinching tokin' lottery champs.
