the talking dog

July 9, 2004, Welcome America's Newest Republican

This lady is someone who will definitely be pleased at the President's recent tax cuts. Geraldine Williams, 68, a retired Massachusetts cleaning lady, was the sole winner of the multi-state mega-millions jackpot of around $294 million.

In your talking dog's legal career (back before I began work- again- for the public sector) I had two clients who won New York's lotto jackpot. One was a former state worker, who hit for around $2 million, which he took as an $85,000 annual annuity. The other was a building superintendant, who took $7 plus million in cash (after taxes and a present value discount from the $25,000,000 face-amount of the prize).

Both lived in the lotto capital of New York, Queens-- the most ethnically diverse county in... the world... and also home to more crazy-ass gamblers than any other place I'm aware of (I suspect those two Queens facts are not necessarily anything more than an interesting coincidence). By the way, both eventually took their winnings and got the hell out of Queens-- and New York altogether--opting for Florida (home of warm weather, controversial elections and no state income tax...)

Well, I'm sure all Americans are just thrilled for Ms. Williams, and I know the GOP is probably a little saddened by the fact that Ms. Williams lives in a solid blue state (and the home of the Democratic nominee). Well, there's still time for her to move to Florida.
