  A few tactical nukes on Gaza and north, too, to wipe out Hizbullah. The world will shriek – but they will no matter what Israel does.

  Remember – people are living in Hiroshima and Nagasaki today – and have been for decades.

• $1M Lottery Winner Who Continued to Collect Food Stamps Dies of Possible Overdose

  Suzanne Mullins won $4.2 million in the Virginia lottery in 1993. Now she’s deeply in debt to a company that lent her money using the winnings as collateral.
  She borrowed $197,746.15, which she agreed to pay back with her yearly checks from the Virginia lottery through 2006. When the rules changed allowing her to collect her winnings in a lump sum, she cashed in the remaining amount. But she stopped making payments on the loan. She blamed the debt on the lengthy illness of her uninsured son-in-law, who needed $1 million for medical bills. Mark Kidd, the Roanoke, Va., lawyer who represented the Singer Asset Finance Company who sued Mullins, confirms her plight. He won a judgment for the company against Mullins for $154,147 last May, but they have yet to collect a nickel. “My understanding is she has no assets,” says Kidd.
  Ken Proxmire was a machinist when he won $1 million in the Michigan lottery. He moved to California and went into the car business with his brothers. Within five years, he had filed for bankruptcy. “He was just a poor boy who got lucky and wanted to take care of everybody,” explains Ken’s son Rick.
  “It was a hell of a good ride for three or four years, but now he lives more simply. There’s no more talk of owning a helicopter or riding in limos. We’re just everyday folk. Dad’s now back to work as a machinist,” says his son.

  William “Bud” Post won $16.2 million in the Pennsylvania lottery in 1988 but now lives on his Social Security.
  “I wish it never happened. It was totally a nightmare,” says Post.
  A former girlfriend successfully sued him for a share of his winnings. It wasn’t his only lawsuit. A brother was arrested for hiring a hit man to kill him, hoping to inherit a share of the winnings. Other siblings pestered him until he agreed to invest in a car business and a restaurant in Sarasota, Florida – two ventures that brought no money back and further strained his relationship with his siblings.
  Post even spent time in jail for firing a gun over the head of a bill collector. Within a year, he was $1 million in debt.
  Post admitted he was both careless and foolish, trying to please his family. He eventually declared bankruptcy. Now he lives quietly on $450 a month and food stamps.
  “I’m tired, I’m over 65 years old, and I just had a serious operation for a heart aneurysm. Lotteries don’t mean (anything) to me,” says Post.

  For a lot of people, winning the lottery is the American dream. But for many lottery winners, the reality is more like a nightmare.
  “Winning the lottery isn’t always what it’s cracked up to be,” says Evelyn Adams, who won the New Jersey lottery not just once, but twice (1985, 1986), to the tune of $5.4 million. Today the money is all gone and Adams lives in a trailer.
  “I won the American dream but I lost it, too. It was a very hard fall. It’s called rock bottom,” says Adams.
  “Everybody wanted my money. Everybody had their hand out. I never learned one simple word in the English language – ‘No’. I wish I had the chance to do it all over again. I’d be much smarter about it now,” says Adams, who also lost money at the slot machines in Atlantic City.
  “I was a big-time gambler,” admits Adams. “I didn’t drop a million dollars, but it was a lot of money. I made mistakes, some I regret, some I don’t. I’m human. I can’t go back now so I just go forward, one step at a time.”

  Remember the loudmouth Representative Wexler from Florida? His kids were going to school in Maryland where he actually lived but pretended he resided at the home of his in-laws. Also a DemoRat.

• Straight Man Says Blood Bank Rejected Him Because He Seemed Gay

  July 17, 2011 at 3:56pm

  To the poster who is chagrined at the kidnapping of the word “gay”. I totally agree. Let’s go back to 19th century England when the slang homosexuals called themselves was “earnest”. Hence, Oscar Wilde’s play The Importance of Being Earnest – which was a double entendre that few straight people grasped at the time.
