Gambling is about politics By JAMES BROWNGlasgow Daily Times Again, I’m not advocating for casinos or expanded gambling at racing tracks. I am very simply stating that not all that comes with expanded gambling is bad and not all is good. I’m also pointing this out: those who are lobbying for video slots and those who are pushing against expanding gaming each have political agendas. They have all been using this topic for the past two years to win themselves elections. Lets not confuse these arguments with anything other than what they are — politicking.
——— This week, I leave you with this sign of the times: Police: Man attacked in Okla. for bologna sandwich OKLAHOMA CITY — A man in Oklahoma City says he was attacked for his bologna and cheese sandwich. Police say 24-year-old Roger Hamilton told them he was sitting on a bus station bench Wednesday, about to put mayonnaise on his sandwich, when another man began staring at him. Hamilton told police that the man then punched him in the mouth and grabbed his sandwich and left. Police say Hamilton has a swollen lip and his face was covered in blood. The police report listed the value of the sandwich at 76 cents. Police have not found the attacker. James Brown is editor of the Glasgow Daily Times. He can be reached by e-mail at jbrown@glasgowdailytimes. com.
