Andrew Jackson Whittaker

Isn’t the story about the Powerball winner

a lovely one to end the

year on? Andrew Jackson (!) Whittaker, Jr. sounds like a gem of a man. His

first thought seems to have been to tithe to his church from those

stupendous winnings. God bless him (well, I guess He just did…) Shame on

the New York Post for recycling that old story about the West Virginia

official State Joke: “Q–How does a West Virginia divorce resemble a


tornado? A–Someone’s going to lose a trailer.”
