When a good deal or pleasant occurrence fell in Grandpa E.V. Bennett's lap you would hear him exclaim, "Hot Damn!! This throw-back phrase flashed in my mind when I heard the news that there WILL BE self-service beer taps at this 2014, Major League All-Star game slated for 'Target Field,' home of the Minnesota 'Twins.' A chorus of 'Hot Damns' echoed across this beer drinking nation.
Stop and write a thank note to your Congressman and express appreciation to him/her for this continuation of 'pampered' and addictive enabling treatment. Just think...several years ago, the American gamblers had to find those back-room slots and table games; finally, the Bible Belt folks were convinced some money from the gambling boats would be earmarked for education and boy that was going to be a 'wind-fall' for schools; a hot damn moment for gamblers and education. Today, we have those gambling opportunities 'online,' Hot Damn! Sorry teachers and school children; life's a bitch for some.
