 The Hoosier Lottery should make good to the lottery ticket buyers.  It wasn't the latter's fault the cards were misprinted or misaligned.

At least he has an excuse.  His supporters do not.

Obit:  Actress Anne Schedeen, 77,  known for her role in the television series ALF, has died.

Snip:

Schedeen got her start in summer stock theater, before scoring a recurring role on the NBC medical drama “Emergency!” and guest-starring as the daughter of the title character in ABC’s “Marcus Welby, M.D.” She also appeared opposite Rock Hudson and Diane Ladd in the 1976 sci-fi horror film 
Embryo” and alongside Lucie Arnaz and Craig Wasson in 1983’s “Second Thoughts.” She would co-star in 1984’s “Paper Dolls” with Lauren Hutton and Morgan Fairchild, but the ABC soap opera was pulled after 14 episodes.

It was on “ALF” that Schedeen found fame as Kate Tanner, a no-nonsense mom trying to keep the government from discovering the extraterrestrial who has crash landed in their garage. The sitcom ran from 1986-1990 and was initially a ratings hit for NBC. However, because “ALF” relied on hand-operated puppets it was a technical challenge and after moving the series from its traditional Monday night slot to Saturday and then Sunday, it was cancelled due to declining viewership.
