The wonder of it all. This explains why that jingle that was all over the Red Sox radio and TV broadcasts seems suddenly absent. (Hey, Mass. can solve its fiscal woes--just get a casino going and...er...nevermind...)

Charles Rogers, a Pequot who now lives in Groton, said the tribe looked at Foxwoods as a bottomless pit of money and it poisoned a community of people who suddenly achieved a lifestyle they had never imagined.

“The casino allowed people to come forward and admit who they are, and it offered a sense of pride and stability. But then it evolved into a sense of entitlement,’’ Rogers said. “This entitlement and one-upmanship and ego is really what’s ruining this tribe and ruining the casino. How much money is enough? At what point do you ask yourself that question? For some people, there’s never enough.’’

Rell has expressed upset that state revenues from the casinos are down. Cry me a river. What did these politicians expect when they allowed these monstrosities?
