Neither Landru nor I, the Sultan, has ever lost a bet to one Mudboy Slim.
"..it does warm my heart to see someone take the other side of the bet -- the kind of blind optimism that keeps this country going!"
Yes, ya gotta love that boy's enthusiastic optimism!!
"I assume, although it's not stated, that both sides will be reporting taxes on their winnings."
Well, that's a good point. Not sure we can trust *all* the participants, so as the "judge" in the Landru/Mudboy/Terry McAulliffe wager, it is my responsibility to squeal, err, report to the IRS the dollar value of all winnings.
