AT LEAST GO TO VEGAS SO YOU CAN GET COMPED: Hidden in the story that Rep. James Sensenbrenner (R-MNWI) has won a $1,000+ prize in a lottery for the third time is the bizarre fact that his most recent winnings came not from the "match numbers," but from "enter[ing] a Super 2nd Chance drawing. To enter, people mail at least $5 in losing tickets to go for the $1,000 prize in a drawing every Thursday." Am I the only one shocked that a Congressman (particularly one who apparently has an $11.6 million net work) has the time to do this?

Editing to clarify that Mr. Sensenbrenner is from Wisconsin.
