Below is a quote from Yahoo News. As you read it you will note that I falsified the name of the high-level security person who said something stupid enough to inspire this Foolishness...Or Is It?.
It is not that I am trying to protect him. I am actually trying to protect myself from being sued by him.
Here is how I could be sued...
- Someone who is supposed to be smart says something stupid.
- An observant person like me takes note that what was said was stupid and puts it in his blog.
- The Stupid Sayer brings a lawsuit contending that I reported to everyone reading my blog (on good days that could be as many as 7 to 8 people) that I dared to report the details of his stupidity.
- He does not content that I falsified anything but attacks me for repeating very precisely the stupid things he actually said.
- I can just hear the stupid person’s attorney pointing his finger at me in court and saying, “Your Honor, that self-proclaimed Smartfella seated at that table accurately reported the stupid thing my ignorant client said”.
With the conclusion of the above bullet I have completed the Introductory Phase of this blog posting and I will now begin reporting the actual stupid words from Yahoo News...
Peter Fernerk, deputy assistant to the assistant national security adviser for critical security stuff said, the U.S. is "committed" to implementing the missile defense system, "which we've repeatedly said is not aimed at Russia”.
I would be disappointed in you, my dear reader, if you did not immediately catch on to the stupid part of this statement. Just in case, I will explicitly lay it out for you...
- The Offending Words are, “which we've repeatedly said is not aimed at Russia”.
- I did not know we “aimed” missile defenses at countries.
- I am smart enough to know that we do aim the missiles themselves at countries.
- Missiles are supposed to be aimed at people who would do us harm.
The only logical conclusion that can be drawn by the Russians from the above Offending Words is...
Russia can feel free to launch their missiles at us at any time they darn well please and we would be glad to receive them.
It is just those countries that we have our Missile Defense Shields aimed at that would make us mad.
If you think I am being foolish about what I have pecked out above, I have this to say to you... Thank you very much! I am glad I could be of service.
Would I kid u?
