Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.
Ronald Reagan
Subsidies for horse-racing has a long tradition in the commonwealth: Since 2004, more than $3.5 billion in taxpayer money has flown toward the equine sport, as The Center Square previously reported.

Another mistaken notion connected with the law of large numbers is the idea that an event is more or less likely to occur because it has or has not happened recently. The idea that the odds of an event with a fixed probability increase or decrease depending on recent occurrences of the event is called the gambler’s fallacy. For example, if Kerrich landed, say, 44 heads in the first 100 tosses, the coin would not develop a bias towards the tails in order to catch up! That’s what is at the root of such ideas as “her luck has run out” and “He is due.” That does not happen. For what it’s worth, a good streak doesn’t jinx you, and a bad one, unfortunately, does not mean better luck is in store.”

We didn’t score in the second half, but I knew if I just didn’t turn the ball over, we were going to win.”

Phil has a question:
How fucking bad of a Commissioner is Gary Bettman to have the NHL run it’s All-star scrimmage and take a week break during the lull weekend before Superbowl when the football fans are just dying to find something to bet on other than the NHL All Star scrimmage.
Would the NFL or NBA owners keep a lame duck like Bettman around.
How successful could the NHL be with a real Commissioner, not the guy that David Stearns kicked out of the NBA.
Only one man in a thousand is a leader of men — the other 999 follow women.
