When I win the $205 MILLION Mega Millions jackpot Friday
...to whom should it go?

I'm thinking:

A big chunk of it to everyone's favorite charity: the IRS

Some to the national, state, and local Democratic Parties (of course)

Some to DU (of course)

A considerable amount to charities (but what ones??????)

...other ideas?

6. I would use it to get some liberal talk radio on the air...
...here in mid-Missouri. That's what I will do if I win the $39 million in tonight's Powerball drawing, that is. Maybe you already get Air America or Thom Hartmann on the air where you live. But me, I'm so fed up with Limbaugh, Hannity, et. al. propagandizing the public with their unchallenged monologues that I would pay WHATEVER IT COSTS to get somebody on the air to challenge them.

9. Drink up whatever you don't spend on hookers and floozies.
Carry around lots of cash so people rob you and think of killing you. Get your grandchildren and their friends to OD.

Our freeper friends can PONTificate on what you should do:

By the way, did anyone read about Ralph Reed's involvement in the DeLay bribery case? It seems that Ralph the Christian fraud was involved in the Abrahamson case of helping one Indian tribe (that was paying off Delay)

"But as he completes his journey from Christian advocate to professional politician, Mr. Reed, 43, finds himself carrying some baggage: his ties to an old friend, the Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff.

In Washington, federal investigations of Mr. Abramoff, a close ally of Tom DeLay, the House majority leader, have revealed that Mr. Abramoff paid Mr. Reed's consulting firm more than $4 million to help organize Christian opposition to Indian casinos in Texas and Louisiana - money that came from other Indians with rival casinos."

Elmer fucking Gantry. The United States deserves what it's going to get for trucking with these types.

Enjoy your money by the way. Here's hoping it doesn't kill you. My first advice: Buy foreign currency. Two hundred and five million dollars won't buy a dog license in five years.

10. Well, there's the tammywammy charity
I only need $2000 as a down payment to buy a VW New Beetle.

I will never ask for more money.

You will get a very nice thank you card, that's hand written and snail mailed.

Thanks in advance. :)

12. Start a company that makes things
What America needs most of all is manufacturers.

Y'all will love this one: Today I sold some little round soffit vents to a guy. They come four to a bag and the bags are nine bucks apiece. He starts turning the bag around..."if they're made in America, I'll take six bags." They're made in Atlanta. He took six bags.
