After a lot of thought, I’ve decided to move my money out of TCF Bank.  The notion that my hard-earned cash is supporting those wingnuts over at Powerline<\/A> finally became too noxious for me to tolerate in good conscience.  I opened an account this morning at Affinity Plus Credit Union<\/A> and the difference in service was immediately apparent.  The person who helped me set up the account was quite pleasant and it felt like I was dealing with a real person rather than a corporate cog.  I also like the idea that a non-profit is managing my money.  I’m not thrilled about having to edit all of my automatic withdrawal information, but I can accomplish that on a Sunday afternoon.  I think I’m also going to set up an interest-bearing savings account at one of those on-line banks like ING.  If I’m going to do all that traveling I discuss here, I’d better start replenishing my funds.<\/SPAN><\/FONT><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
