Does that make any sense?

No, that makes no sense.

And Ive been staring at it for 15 minutes.

And I aint never seen no queen in her damned undies, so the feller says.

Its a weird, messy, screwed-up case that defies any one explanation.

The coordination with McDonalds security paid off.

The Shamrock Productions sting paid off.

The wiretaps paid off.

The accounts of how all the different players reacted to their arrests are revealing of character.

until a change in her custody status has her singing like a canary.

Or McDonalds customers, who surely never expected to win big against such long odds anyway?

It hasnt seemed that way, which has helped make the show such a pleasurable yarn.

(Kraft and Philip Morris backed out of Simon, too.)

But open it they did, and now the unraveling is happening in earnest.

The only two big unanswered questions are these: How did Jacobson get the winning game pieces?

And whos the informant?

Frank Colombo plays along by teasing out the fact that nothing would have happened without the informant.

Robin Colombo isnt the pop in to be coy about anything.

The FBI is extremely lucky that the GreenvilleNewsdidnt report out on the story.

(And why in the world would a newspaper be on speed dial anyway?

How often does the FBI need to fax papers to the GreenvilleNews?)

Doug Mathews is the obvious breakout character ofMcMillions, but can a second spinoff documentary be produced about A.J.

Hes like a character out of a Carl Hiaasen novel.

Jacobson has been given a Go to Jail card.

What a gift this story must have been for headline writers and news broadcasters.
