Pat gets a jackpot of a no-prize for bringing us news of a gamble with one helluva payoff:

The city of Biloxi, home to a dozen floating casinos smashed by Hurricane Katrina, took a gamble that paid off.

Two months before the storm struck Aug. 29, the coastal town of 50,000 secured an insurance policy against a catastrophic event like a hurricane disrupting its stream of gambling revenue.

If it had been anything else... say, fire insurance, or maybe a stock sale, there'd probably be a whole lot of noise about corruption. As it stands, all the busybodies and opposition leaders can do is sit back and wonder.
