Casino Logic: Let's follow Mayor Mike's logic -- if we can.

"New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg Friday said he was 'honestly annoyed' that the state only allows gambling on Indian reservations, adding that the city might as well have a casino too."

"The Republican mayor made it clear he disliked gambling because it draws the people who can least afford to lose money. But he added: 'If everybody from New York City is going across a (nearby) border, why not keep the money here?'" (via CNN)

Translation: So long as somebody has to take advantage of the poor schmoes "who can least afford to lose money," it might as well be us.
