I could be $10,000 richer after January 20
At my local off track betting the odds are a 1000/1 that Kerry will be inaugurated January 20. I put $10 on Kerry. I plan to spend the money on a celebration for all those who have continued to fight and work even after 11/2.

2. Does anyone else notice
that when Jesse Jackson jumps into a cause, he gets attention that others can't??? Go Jesse!

3. "off track" betting is an understatement
Not even Las Vegas takes bets for any election.

Word out on the street is your off track betting was probably made
with low level organized crime figures.

You're better off putting down $100 on the Steelers to win the Super Bowl.

6. LOL
Not bad when you have "trillions to one" odds working in your favor.

7. But Kerry is a strong 'finisher.' And odds are meaningless when Truth
is on your side! Besides the Repugs are 'big' on Faith, and this is a 'leap of'...
So good luck! Sounds good to me!:kick:
