A note on the Amazon ads: I've chosen to display current events titles in the Amazon box. Unfortunately, Amazon appears to promote a disproportionate number of angry-left books. I have no power over it at this time. Rest assured, I'm still a conservative.

Thinking about running a Super Bowl office pool? Well, you might want to think twice.
Manager of office football pool is arrested on gambling charges
SOUTH BRUNSWICK, N.J. (AP) … A middle manager with AT&T was arrested for running an office football pool in which he took a
10 percent cut of the action equal to nearly $3,000, authorities said.
Wayne Davis, 34, of New York City was charged with promoting gambling and could get up to five years in prison, though prosecutors said he is unlikely to do any jail time.
"Look, I do not consider Wayne Davis to be Public Enemy No. 1," prosecutor Ron Kercado said. "Nonetheless, he is in
violation of the statute."
Kercado said Davis ran afoul of the law when he took a 10 percent cut.
His lawyer, John Murphy, countered: "He's nothing other than a guy in the office who was asked to draw the grid for a
football pool."
