MAKING BOOK WITH VIRTUES CZAR

Sometimes the virtuous aren't so, well, virtuous; and why that should even matter, I don't know. Anyway, today Newsweek reveales that morality czar William Bennett, the author of The Book of Virtues, and a former Secretary of Education under the first President Bush, has lost more than $8 million at gambling tables in Las Vegas and Atlantic City. Why this matters, I have no idea. It's his money, and he hasn't done anything wrong. People might expect that I'd be overjoyed with such news (because Bennett is a right-winger), but nothing could be further from the truth. It appears to me that this is a non-story, and that Newsweek is simply looking to make headlines with headlines.

While I love it when jerk-offs like Bennett get knocked off their soapboxes, I don't think he did anything 'wrong'. I'm sure that a large number of the people that are chastising the cat also play the markets. Everybody that invests in the stock market is gambling. Well, well, well...aren't we NO FREAKIN DIFFERENT!!!
