Fun and Fungibility

Apparently ATM cards provided for public assistance can be used at ATM machines which happen to be located inside strip clubs, liquor stores and bars, at least in the Empire State.  And the pecksniffers are pecksniffing:
“This is morally scandalous,” said Michael Tanner, a senior fellow at the Cato Institute. “I have nothing against strip clubs, but that’s not what benefits are for. I don’t blame [recipients]. If you are poor, it’s a crummy life and you want to have a drink or see a naked woman. I blame the people who are in charge of this.”
The New York Post sniffs that those who use their ATM cards at "jiggle joints" and "gay dive bars" could have chosen to withdraw funds from wholesome BofA branches just down the street.

Don't tell the New York Post or the Catoads, but the same folks could have cashed out at the BofA teller and then taken the cash to the titty bar next door.

    Some liquor store ATMs charge lower withdrawal fees than BofA, but it looks like the Cato Institute doesn't really like the free market any more than it likes individual liberty.

    This design is steller! You definitely know how to keep a reader amused.

    Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start
    my own blog (well, almost...HaHa!) Wonderful job. I really loved what you had to
    say, and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!
