Quote of the Day
“New Rule: Not everything in America has to make a profit. You know, if conservatives get to call universal healthcare ‘socialized medicine,’ I get to call private, for-profit healthcare ‘soulless, vampire bastards making money off human pain…’
“When did the profit motive become the only reason to do anything? When did that become the new patriotism? ‘Ask not what you could do for your country, ask what’s in it for Blue Cross-Blue Shield.’”
– Bill Maher
Bill Maher has hit it on the head…
In the HuffPo last night, Bill Maher wrote a very solid piece called “New Rule: Not Everything in America Has to Make a Profit.” He hit the nail right on the head. Profit is what has put us in the mess we currently occupy.
Here’s a quote I think sums it up nicely:
Did you know, for example, that there was a time when being called a “war profiteer” was a bad thing? But now our war zones are dominated by private contractors and mercenaries who work for corporations. There are more private contractors in Iraq than American troops, and we pay them generous salaries to do jobs the troops used to do for themselves – like laundry. War is not supposed to turn a profit, but our wars have become boondoggles for weapons manufacturers and connected civilian contractors.
Then add Prisons, Television News, and Medicine… all things which used to be carried out for our good as a civilization and did not have the profit motive. Now they all do.
So:
…if medicine is for profit, and war, and the news, and the penal system, my question is: what’s wrong with firemen? Why don’t they charge? They must be commies. Oh my God! That explains the red trucks!
Bill’s Favorite Quote for the Week:
This was from Chris Kelly who is a writer for Real Time with Bill Maher:
Hemingway said that the problem with Henry Miller was that he got laid in the afternoon once and thought he invented it. Governor Mark Sanford got laid in Argentina two weeks ago and the way he continues to go on about it, you’d think he cracked cold fusion. The man won’t shut up. If Henry Miller talked about his sex life as much as Governor Mark Sanford talks about his sex life, people would have started thinking he was some kind of perv.
And that’s the best summary I have seen of the Sanford situation.
