Comedy Tonight: "Right and left really doesn't matter on the big stuff, and even nations are only a small part of the equation" (Lee Camp)

>



It's been awhile since we partook of a "Moment of Clarity" from the great Lee Camp -- this one dispatched last week from Edinburgh. Lately Lee has been posting a number of interviews on his website, leecamp.net.-- Ken

From "Do Countries Matter Anymore?":
For the most part, the future of the world is decided by multinational companies and the billionaires who run them.

Sure, there are smaller issues that the leaders have control over. President Bush boldly created a "no-call list," securing his legacy as the president who saved the sanctity of family dinnertime, even if families no longer have the money to afford dinner. I'm sure when your average American family is scavenging for roots and berries for suppertime, they're fucking thrilled no telemarketer is interrupting them.

Another example: President Obama put a regulation on Wall Street making it so that when banks partake in predatory lending it's now strongly frowned upon for them to brag about it.
