1. Maybe you'd care to enlighten us. nt

2. Mattress Mack!

Known for his yuuuuuge sports bets, including the upcoming SB.

7. hedges his bets

He gives away your "qualified" purchase if the team he picks wins the sporting event.

So he gambles on the opposite to cover his loss, been doing it for years.

If you need the furniture and were going to purchase it anyways ... it is a good bet. 50/50 you will not have to pay for it.

LOL

4. Didn't he use his stores as a shelter during a really bad flood a few years ago?

I seem to recall him being compared to Joel Osteen, who had to be browbeaten into helping. I am pretty sure I read about him here on DU.

8. yes

He does that very consistently. Here in Texas and neighboring states, helping to organize food, water, and other supplies to assist whenever a disaster strikes.

Joel was/is a putz and always gets compared to Mac when things happen, the difference is dramatic.

Always doing something local as well when a fire or something does damage to locals.

5. Aah, so he's the Houston version of Cal Worthington, except that he's a RW tool...

(Googled after answering survey)

9. eh

Just because someone is not on our side politically does not mean that person can never do right.

RW, yes.

Tool, I would say no.
