Quote of the day: Moral difference

Here's an astute observation from Charles Pierce:

The only moral difference between for-profit colleges and check-cashing shops is that the former usually are located in better neighborhoods.


The good news: For-profit colleges don't have corrupt athletic programs.

The bad news: They don't need to, since the whole operation hinges on bought-and-paid-for insiders who protect their racket.

Bonus quotes:
The difference between Washington under any president and Versailles under Louis XIV?

Long pants and fewer wigs.
and:
The difference between the way the Village does business and the way things used to work in Russia under the Kremlin?

Better cars and Meet The Press.

Boy's on a roll. And it's a Saturday.
