Case Bets: Words to live by, Mike Ensign, Danny Tarkanian

Don’t have a lifetime of regret from sticking with a career that pays the bills; choose a vocation that fascinates you.” That’s one of several maxims passed down by the mother of Raving Consulting Vice President of Operations Christine Faria. Mom is celebrating her 86th birthday today and S&G wishes her many, many more.

Erstwhile casino executive turned senatorial bag man Mike Ensign just can’t stay out of the news. Jim Murren must be so glad this dope wasn’t given a seat on the MGM Mirage board after Mandalay Resort Group was taken over. Papa Ensign’s money-lugging antics certainly put the J. Terrence Lanni resumé-inflation ruckus into better perspective.

Presumption … thy name is Danny Tarkanian. I’m no Reaganite (though he was a masterful politician whose ham-fisted presumptive heirs keep making him look even better in retrospect) but this really takes the cake for self-aggrandizement. Shame on you, L’il Tark. imgad
