It now seems that anytime anything bad happens we are looking for someone to blame before the smoke clears...
- D.C. Naval Base Killings: There have been questions raised about the D.C. Naval Base Killings. The Talking Heads are talking their heads about whose fault it was that so many people were killed.
Silly me, I thought it was that Bad Guy with a Gun that was responsible for so many people being killed.
- 19 Forest Fire Firefighters Killed: On this past June 30, 19 firefighters were killed fighting a major forest fire in Arizona. Forest fires are dangerous and unpredictable. The people that fight such fires are paid extra for what they do because we recognize that Forest fires are dangerous and unpredictable.
Now there is an investigation going on to find out who was responsible for their deaths. I’ve heard it said on TV recently, “Questions have been raised about who made the decision that put those 19 firefighters in danger”.
The Smartfella knows how to keep the firefighters out of danger. Simply say to them, “Fellas, there is an awful big fire raging in Northern California. To be on the safe side, I recommend that you go fight this Northern California Fire in Southeastern Arizona”.
- Healthcare.gov Rollout: The number of people who are pointing fingers at other people about this one is hard to count.
I tried to go to the site just now and I was greeted by this message: “Sorry, Bad Request.” Must be my fault. I must not know how to spell HealthCare.gov.
The Smartfella was paid extra during his time in Vietnam. His country said to him, “Fella, we know what you do is dangerous. We are willing to give you Extra Pay because we appreciate that danger. Here, take this $50 a month extra as Combat Pay and, if you remember to duck this month, we will give you more big bucks next month”.
Come to think of it, if I had stayed in Vietnam, I could have racked in $28,800 plus interest by now in Combat Pay.
In some of my Blog Postings I claim that I can see into the future. This proves I really can’t because, if I could, I would have seen that $28,800 plus interest in my future and I would have stayed put and kept ducking for the last 48 years.
Would I kid u?
