Yeah.

I don't even LIKE Bill Bennet. I always turn him off when he's on cable. I don't mind that he preaches morality; I think it is a good thing that we started selling morality as something to be aspired to. For too long, we have made the cheats, layabouts, and reprobates heroes; when I was a kid, the hero you aspired to be was Ferris Buelher.

Try getting away with that in real life.

Wouldn't be prudent.

But that said, I find Bennett a bore, a scold, and a bit of a prig. I just can't bear to listen to him pontificate, even though I think the pontification is probably a good thing, over all.

So I'm not his biggest fan.

But I just refuse to get worked up about gambling.

Look, unless the man is gambling so much that he has to go see the Pit Boss at the Desert Inn and convince him to give the money back as an advertising ploy, it falls under that part of morality called Ain't None of My Goddamned Buisness.
