  1. I’m not arguing about if it should be illegal, but merely that it is…

    … so, are these kinds of wagers technically, what’s the word, legal?

  3. If the Colts win, Murray has agreed to send a sampler of local seafood and Massachusetts-brewed ales. If the Patriots win, Indiana Lieutenant Governor Becky Skillman will provide a gift basket of select meats from Indiana producers.

    Thank you Lt. Governor for this ummm, basket of meats.
    Who the hell were they playing, Poland?

  4. …who has met both Lt. Gov. Tim Murray and Lt. Gov. Becky Skillman.

    I grew up in rural southern Indiana, and my family attends Pinhook Church of Christ. Amongst our fellow churchmembers is…

    For all I know, had the Pats won, some of the “meats” might have been pork from my family’s farm (although, to be fair, we haven’t had hogs in some time).

    (For the record: Becky Skillman is, in Molly Ivins’ phrase, conservative enough to make your teeth hurt, but she has also been kind and gracious to my family for years, even to the point of giving me political pointers knowing full well I was on the opposite side.)
