It is totally an idiot tax.

That said, I was an idiot today. I know that I am not going to win it, but there's something about buying the right to imagine what you might do, even if it's for a day or two. I even played my new daughter's birthdate, because that's what my dad used to do.

Now video poker and slot machines... that is something I can't fathom. They aren't any fun at all, and the losing is so aggressive and guaranteed.
