I need to exchange the propane tank for my gas grill this afternoon. (What an exciting lead sentence!) This puts me in mind of the last time I did this. I stopped by a convenience store near my house. When I went in there was a fellow in line ahead of me whom I recognized. He is the retired chief justice of North Carolina. He had a distinguished legal career before becoming Chief Justice. He had an outstanding tenure as Chief Justice. He has an unblemished reputation for rectitude. What was he doing in the convenience store? He was buying lottery tickets.
My point is that we should be reasonable in our expectations about any group of people who bear the title "judge", including Social Security's Administrative Law Judges. People with the title of "judge" almost always try to live up to their title but they are made of the same stuff as the rest of us.

Why are you outing this guy for buying lottery tickets?
It would be more juicy if he was purchasing the latest Penthouse.
BTW, I don't get those refills. Don't trust what I am getting for a tank. I take my original to be filled at a Propane station.
Given the current jackpot, the expected value of Mega Millions ticket is greater than $1. So, it actually makes sense to buy one.
I once saw the president smoking. I am outraged that he is indeed human.
I once saw Joey Ramone buying chocolate milk at a convenience store back in the 80's. It took me a while to process that.
I thought it was common knowledge that the lottery was for the ignorant and the hopeless. I get what Chuck is saying.
