posted May 22, 2014 at 2:50 PM

Chris Churchill on some of the obvious facts about how the Girl Scouts should seize the "opportunities" presented by a casino possibly being built next to their camp in East Greenbush: "Sure, sweetie, hard work and all that is OK, and yes it was nice that you managed to sell 20 cookie boxes. But look, if you really want to succeed in this world, if you want serious bank, you've gotta dance with Lady Luck." [TU]

There are so few "negative impacts" to having a casino that people all over the state are clamoring for them! Cause aren't politicians the elected voice of the people? And it seems politicians just LOVE casinos!

I loved that article. So many great points! Maybe the girl scouts can honor the coming casino with a new blackjack dealer badge!
