I Have a Well Developed and Finely Tuned Ability to Make Things Up but Even I Am Taken Aback (Whatever That Means) At the Silliness of This Foolishness

Below is the bulk of an article I found on the Internet which was titled...

White People to Stop Voicing Minority Characters in ‘The Simpsons,’ ‘Family Guy’

(I decided to bold the Confusion Words. I thought about bolding every word in the entire article but my computer was going to run out of bolded words capacity.)

Considering the way our world is being torn asunder these days this is not surprising...

A white voice actor who played a minority character in “Family Guy” said he’s leaving the role after 20 years.

Also, the Simpsons producers said in the future no white actors would be allowed to voice nonwhite characters.

A white voice actor, Mike Henry, who voiced Cleveland Brown, a black character, in “Family Guy,” said earlier he wouldn’t do so any longer.

“It’s been an honor to play Cleveland on ‘Family Guy’ for 20 years. I love this character, but persons of color should play characters of color. Therefore, I will be stepping down from the role,” he said in a social media statement.

Kristen Bell, who voiced Molly, a mixed race character on the animated series “Central Park,” said on social media, “This is a time to acknowledge our acts of complicity. Here is one of mine. Playing the character of Molly on ‘Central Park’ shows a lack of awareness of my pervasive privilege. Casting a mixed race character with a white actress undermines the specificity of the mixed race and black American experience,” she wrote.

Jenny Slate said she initially thought it was okay to voice Missy, a mixed race character, on “Big Mouth.”

“I reasoned with myself that it was permissible for me to play Missy because her mom is Jewish and White—as am I,” Slate wrote on social media. “But Missy is also black, and black characters on an animated show should be played by black actors. I acknowledge how my original reasoning was flawed, that it existed as an example of white privilege and unjust allowances made within a system of social white supremacy, and that in me playing Missy, I was engaging in an act of erasure of black people.”

This is Fella, "Erasure?"

Lagniappe: Does it seem like we are slipping down the Slippery Slope towards George Orwell’s 1984 more and more every day?

In the story of Nineteen Eighty-Four, the Thinkpol (Thought Police) are responsible for the detection and elimination of thoughtcrime, and for the social control of the populations of Oceania, by way of audio-visual surveillance and offender profiling. Such psychological monitoring allows the Thought Police to detect, arrest, and kill thought criminals, citizens whose independence (intellectual, mental, and moral) challenges the political orthodoxy of Ingsoc (English Socialism) and thus the legitimate government authority of the Party. In the detection of thoughtcrime—and to overcome the physical impossibility of simultaneously policing every citizen of Oceania—the Thinkpol spy upon the populace through ubiquitous two-way telescreens, and so can monitor any person's body language, reflexive speech, and facial expressions.

The Tongue-Tied President Who Was Made Fun Of By the News Media for Being Tongue-Tied About One Particular Word

The News Media had a field day poking fun at one of our Past Presidents because he had difficulty pronouncing the word “nuclear”. I must have had difficulty hearing the word “nuclear” because I never noticed the President’s Pronunciation Difficulty until the News Media told me about it over and over. I wonder if Michael Jordan had had difficulty saying the word “basketball” would the News Media have poked fun at him.

Our Tongue-Tied President may not have the ability to say “nuclear” without the news media (those guys who never make any mistakes) having their way with him but he was able put together a Mid-East Nuclear Deal that was light years ahead of what a later President (who could pronounce “nuclear”) was able to put together.

This seems strange when you consider that the Not Tongue-Tied President had the Tongue-Tied President’s workable Mid-East Nuclear Deal to read up on for guidance when he put together his Not Tongue-Tied President’s Mid-East Nuclear Deal.

************

The Tongue-Tied Middle East Nuclear Agreement is working well and it contains the strongest commitments ever agreed to for Nonproliferation, Transparency and has No Pathway to Weaponization.

Awhile back the United Arab Emirates announced it had finished loading fuel into Unit 1 of the Barakah Nuclear Energy Plant (Official name is Ù…حطة براكة للطاقة النووية ðŸ˜€ ). When all four units become operational, the plant will provide up to 25% of the U.A.E.’s electricity with Zero Carbon Emissions.

The seeds for this ambitious project were planted in 2008, when the U.S. and U.A.E. signed the Strongest Bilateral Civil Nuclear Cooperation Agreement in history.

The deal wasn’t a sure thing. As negotiations progressed during the final year of the Tongue-Tied President’s Administration, the nonproliferation community was concerned. Skeptics feared the Middle East was ill-suited for a peaceful nuclear program.

Rejecting any interest in nuclear weapons, the U.A.E. voluntarily made the strongest possible nonproliferation commitments, pledging to forgo domestic enrichment and reprocessing of nuclear material. There was no hesitation in acceding to the International Atomic Energy Agency’s Additional Protocol, allowing for short-notice inspections of any nuclear facility at any time.

Later termed the “gold standard”, these historic and binding guarantees represented a new and innovative solution to a longstanding problem created by the inherent dual-use nature of some elements of the nuclear fuel-supply chain.

The plant has made the UAE the first Peaceful Nuclear-Energy-Operating Nation in the Arab World.

************

The U.A.E.’s voluntary commitments significantly exceed those extracted from Iran in the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action…

  • Tehran insisted on maintaining a pathway to enrich uranium domestically and to develop advanced centrifuge technologies—capabilities first developed clandestinely in defiance of binding United Nations Security Council resolutions.
  • No American nuclear inspectors will be permitted to enter the country’s contested nuclear site.
  • Iran also demanded that the most significant restrictions lapse in January 2026.

These demands reveal Iran’s real long-term aspirations.

A Fella Message to Iran...I know you are impatient but hang in there. 2026 will be here before you know it and then you can begin blowing up all the neighbors you have a mind to get rid of.

 ************

The U.S./U.A.E. Nuclear Deal has worked and is delivering a new huge source of clean power and reduced the risk of Nuclear Proliferation.

I’m sorry, Mr. Tongue-Tied President, you can’t say “nuclear” so you will not be given an International Nuclear Attaboy. You must accept the fact that Correct Pronunciation Is Important!

Additions to the Equipment List for a Georgia Traffic Policemen

Each year new laws are cobbled together by our Georgia Legislature. If we were paying any attention to what our Legislature has been doing we would start Recalls Petitions for many members of our Legislature to remove them from office because of what they have been cobbling together.

We never pay any attention so we don’t start any Recall Petitions and the Legislature keeps on keeping on having its way with us.

This may be changing. We used to have Football Season to distract us but it is quite possible Football Season may have been recalled this year because of the FauciVirus. This may be the year to clean our legislative house...Or is it?

************

There are always some interesting new laws passed to "protect" us from us. Here is a good example of a new law that is going to be ignored by all of us.

Here is a list of items that a Traffic Policeman must now carry on his person:

Ø Gun

Ø Handcuffs

Ø Money for donuts

Ø Pepper spray

Ø A Taser Gun

Ø A Bathroom Scale

Ø A Tape Measure

What is that you just said? You did not expect the Bathroom Scale and Tape Measure to be on the list. If so, that shows how far you are out of touch with our forward “thinking” Georgia Legislators.

In their infinite “wisdom”, our Legislators have decided that, in order to protect Our Children, we needed a modification to our Already Existing Law that requires Booster Seats for Our Children. 

In the future Children are required to sit in a Booster Chair up until the age of six, with the exception of those Children who weigh more than 40 pounds and/or who are taller than 4 feet 9 inches tall.

Yes, my dear readers, Georgia Traffic Policemen are going to be stopping cars and Weighing and Measuring the Height of our Children!

What is that you just said? Did I hear you say the Policemen will not be stopping and weighing and measuring? Did I hear you say this law is Unenforceable? I agree with you and that also means it is a Waste of Time.

Could it possibly be that Our Legislators are passing laws just to make us think they are doing something important when they are not doing anything of importance? Is that the same as doing nothing?

Would I kid u?

Smartfella

Lagniappe: What is that you just said? Did you just say the law is intended to be enforced by the parents? If that is so, are we going to be putting the parents in jail for Dereliction of Duty, if they do not enforce our Waste of Time Law?

George Washington’s Lie

It has finally happened. President George Washington has told a Lie.

I came out of the blue in the form of a Text Message from the Ole Boy right from Heaven to Earth.

Experts are baffled as to why he would tell such a whopper hundreds of years after he had died.

Here it is...

I, George Washington, do hereby state for the public record that I am proud that Washington, D.C. is named after me.”

It defies credulity that this could be true!  

Fella is baffled also. He was quoted as saying...

“I can’t explain it but its authenticity is without question. The only explanations I can come up with are...

Ø After 288 years since he was born Senility has finally set in.

Ø He is tired of Benjamin Franklin laughing at him every time Congress does something stupid and he feels he can trick the Street Protestors into demanding a name change if they feel he is actually proud of his name being associated with the District of Columbia.

I feel the second bullet above may be the correct explanation because I have it on barely reliable unnamed sources that many of the Street Protestors have been receiving Text Messages from Heaven that go like this...

Ø Don’t ye think Franklin, D.C. has a nice ring to it?

Ø Benjamin, D.C. should have been the name from the very beginning!

Ø Hey hey what do ya say!
    Make my day!
    Benjamin Franklin, D.C.
    Is what the name oughta be!

Since we are into lying, allow me to join in. Everything you have read in this Blog Posting is absolutely true!

Heaven Was A Better Place Before Women Got The Vote

Our Street Rulers of today are taking the position that anyone in our past who was not perfect was, not just not perfect, but they were evil because they were not perfect.

Our Street Rulers of today are also taking the position that what we accept today as right should always have been accepted as right and those in the past who did not accept back then what is accepted as right today were not simply confused or incorrect, they were also evil to the core.

They should have seen the future in the past and changed their past policies to reflect the future while the future was still the future in the past.

I just love it when words come together to make things plain in such a confusing way.

************

Today it is accepted, and not a subject for debate, that Women Have a Right to Vote. Not allowing Women to Vote would be Immoral and Misogynistic. 

If we go back about 100 years, women could not vote. It is, therefore, self evident that all people in Position of Authority who refused to see the future and kept the vote away from women should have their statues torn down.

To carry this “logic” further, if they don’t have statues, then statues ought to be erected to them so those statues could then be torn down.

************

Back to the attention getting subject of this Blog Posting...Heaven Was A Better Place Before Women Got The Vote.

Is it not obvious? Above I referred to “people in position of authority” keeping the vote away from women. “People in Position of Authority” is another way of saying Politicians.

There it is! Heaven was a better place before women had the right to vote because there were no Politicians Allowed Into Heaven.

Would I kid u?

Lagniappe: Let’s stop and think about this bit of “wisdom” I pecked out above, “To carry this “logic” further, if they don’t have statues, then statues ought to be erected to them so those statues could then be torn down” and, in order to expedite matters, the UPS Box that delivers the Soon To Be Put Up and Then Torn Down Statues ought to have a whole bunch of rope in it.

Helicopter Flying can be very dangerous. Here are the injuries sustained by Richard Toops, Vietnam Helicopter Pilot, as he listed those injuries.

How can one body sustain these many injuries and survive?

As I lay there on the jungle floor, my body in pain, here's the tally on my injuries:

·         one ankle shot, the bones all shattered

·         toes on one foot were all broken and would never regain movement

·         the tibia in one leg was broken

·         the femur was broken and twisted, (when putting my leg back together it was an inch shorter)

·         I had a deep hematoma on the inside of my legs that ran from my knee to my upper thigh

·         one knee was badly damaged and had to be replaced, only regaining limited movement

·         shot in the back, while laying on the ground after the crash, the bullet barely missing my spine

·         my chest was bruised and beaten from bullets, but nothing - I repeat nothing, got through my chicken-plate

·         one hand sustained shrapnel wounds from the bullets coming through the radio console

·         my face was smashed in like it had been hit with a sledgehammer from the crash, the orbital bone, nose, septum, and jaw were all broken and flattened. My septum had a hole in it. 

·         the skin above my brow had been-peeled back, eyes hemorrhaged, and it would be many days before I could see more than a few feet. My face sustained shrapnel wounds and would take over 50 stitches to sew up.

But I was alive. God was with me though all those brave guys around me died. During the next 5 1/2 months of hospital and 2 months of rehab I learned to eat again, walk again, and then got the news that I would never be able to fly again. My military career was over. Of all the injuries, the only one that prevented me from flying again was the destruction of my ankle, limiting the movement necessary for controlling the anti-torque pedals in a helicopter. 

The only thing I ever truly wanted to do in life was now gone. They medically retired me from the Army.  

Helicopters don’t bounce very well.

Some Great Men Have To Die To Become Great Men

Almost 15 years ago I published the list below. I was attacked by a very close friend because he said I said Ulysses S. Grant was a Crook.

I did not say that about Grant. Actually I did not say any of what was said in the list below about any of the List Men because I did not create the list below. I only duplicated someone else’s list. The list below is actually a compilation of what was said about the List Men by people who were living at the same time as the List Men.

According to an article in my newspaper more than 15 years ago the following was said about Past Presidents and others who wanted to be Presidents and then Past Presidents of the Good Ole USofA...

  • Jefferson -- An atheist, anarchist, demagogue, coward, trickster and a mountebank (one who sells phony medicine).
  • John Adams -- Egotistical, erratic, eccentric and jealous-natured.
  • Jackson -- Accused of adultery, gambling, cock-fighting, bigamy, slave trading, drunkenness, theft, lying and murder.
  • John Quincy Adams -- Premarital relationship with his wife and traveling on Sunday.
  • Henry Clay -- Had systematically violated every one of the Ten Commandments.
  • James Polk -- Unimaginative.
  • Grant -- A crook, an ignoramus, a drunk, a swindler and an "utterly depraved horse jockey".
  • Al Smith -- Since Smith was a Catholic, Hoover accused him of planning to annul all Protestant marriages, if he were elected.

After they died, most of these “sins” were forgotten because the people who were doing the attacking on the List Men while they were alive were now busy attacking other men who were still alive.

This shows to go ya that it’s just not as much fun to attack and/or lie about men who can’t pay attention to your attack and/or your lies because they are no longer around to “enjoy” your efforts on their behalf.

Would I kid u?

Smartfella

Lagniappe: How times have changed. I wonder how many votes were changed throughout our history because the voter found out that a candidate had Traveled on Sunday, Was Unimaginative, was an Utterly Depraved Horse Jockey or really feared the new President was Going to Annul All Protestant Marriages.

If You Are Of a Mind to Always Tell the Truth, Go Right Ahead and Always Tell the Truth but Keep a Watchful Eye on Fulvia

Marcus Tullius Cicero, most commonly known as simply Cicero, was a Roman Statesman, Lawyer and Academic Skeptic Philosopher. 

There was a time when Simply Cicero was doing quite well. 

Simply Cicero played an important role in the politics of the Roman Republic and was a strong advocate for the Republican Principles of the Republic and he was considered one of Rome's Greatest Orators. 

What could go wrong for Simply Cicero? Rome was a Republic and he was an Eloquent Defender of the Republic.

************

Simply Cicero was not only an Eloquent and Gifted Orator when he spoke to his fellow Friends, Romans and Countrymen but he is just as Eloquent when he speaks to us more than 2 millennia after his death.

Now I ask you, who can argue with these Eloquent Bolded Words below?

Actually, a lot of Romans did not like Simply Cicero’s Eloquent Words and a lot of My Fellow Americans today do not like them either...
"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance."

************

My Dear Readers, be careful, if u ever decide that you are going to start speaking the Truth to your Fellow Americans (and any Fellow Romans who might be still out there on the Fruited Plain) because they might treat you like Simply Cicero was treated for speaking the Truth...

Cicero's last words were said to have been, "There is nothing proper about what you are doing, soldier, but do try to kill me properly." 

He bowed to his captors, leaning his head out of the litter in a gladiatorial gesture to ease the task. By baring his neck and throat to the soldiers, he was indicating that he wouldn't resist.

He was decapitated. Then his hands were cut off and nailed along with the head on the Rostra in the Forum according to the tradition of Marius and Sulla, both of whom had displayed the heads of their enemies in the Forum.

According to Cassius Dio, Mark Antony's wife Fulvia took Cicero's head, pulled out his tongue, and jabbed it repeatedly with her hairpin in final revenge against Cicero's power of speech.

************

By Golly, Simply Cicero died on December 7, 43 BC but, from reading the quote below (especially #6), it appears he could actually see into 2020 AD...

“Six mistakes mankind keeps making century after century:
Believing that personal gain is made by crushing others;
Worrying about things that cannot be changed or corrected;
Insisting that a thing is impossible because we cannot accomplish it;
Refusing to set aside trivial preferences;
Neglecting development and refinement of the mind;
Attempting to compel others to believe and live as we do.”
― Marcus Tullius Cicero

Would Simply Cicero kid u,

Lagniappe: I just had to add this quote...

“Times are bad. Children no longer obey their parents, and everyone is writing a book.”

It’s Worse Than Even I Ever Thought It Could Be

Here is a snippet from a Blog Posting that Fella released on June 1, 2011. In it Fella explains how Dr. Jonas Salk would never have invented his Salk Polio Vaccine if he had been Constantly Interrupted by his Constantly Interrupting Smartphone...

“Now we are demanding that they tell us news over and over and quicker and quicker. We don’t want to wait for anything. We install apps on our phones to notify us immediately when something is happening that we mistakenly think we can’t do without.

I saw where there is an app that will notify you when a High Speed Pursuit is live on TV.

Can you imagine if Doctor Jonas Salk had been one of these High Speed Pursuit Junkies? Every time he started to make headway on his Polio Vaccine his phone would play the silly little tune he had carefully selected. He would have stopped his research and ran to his TV to watch the latest chase in progress. When he got hack to his work bench, he would have been heard to say, ‘Now where was I?’

If this obsession had been his obsession, we would still have Iron Lungs all over the place. (For those of you who don’t know what an Iron Lung is, Google It!)”

Without his wonderful Vaccine young people would be trapped inside all those Iron Lung Machines instead of running around the Good Ole USofA Burning and Protesting everything in the Good Ole USofA. That would be terrible...Or would it?

************

Why have I pulled up the above information from 2011? It’s because I turned on my Smartphone this morning and was greeted by an invitation from a News Outlet to be constantly notified about darn near anything and everything you can imagine about anything and everything.

If the Inventors like Dr. Salk sign up for all of these Interruptions, it won’t be long before we will be Googling, “Inventors” and “Inventions”.

Here are the Notification Opportunities my Smartphone offered me this morning. They call them “Notifications” but I’m of a mind to think they ought to be called “Interruption Opportunities”....

First Possible Title To This Blog Posting: Why Do We Care? ... Second Possible Title To This Blog Posting: Who Are These People?

None of these people in these headlines below know who I am and I don’t really care who they are.

I am hip (Or am I?) enough to know that millions of adoring fans devour these kinds of headlines and can’t get their fill of more of what these Celebrities do with their Time, Lives and Marriages.

Here are some Celebrity Headlines that I came across the other day when I started looking around the edges of an article on the Internet that I was really interested in…

  • Jennifer Aniston Wows in Black String Bikini On Mexico Beach!
  • Kaia Gerber Is Closing Out 2019 With Her Shortest Haircut Yet!

I have heard about Halle Berry and Jennifer Anniston but I have not heard of any of the rest of these Famous Celebrities.

Do you think these Celebs would care about these headlines below hanging around Internet Articles they were interested in reading?...

  • Fella just ate a ham and cheese sandwich.
  • All heads were turning as Fella walked the beach today in his new Dudley Do-Right swim suit.
  • Fella played 2 hours of intensive tennis yesterday and he amazed all his playing partners because he was able to hit 3 good shots before he headed to the showers.

Getting Around Galilee vs. Getting Around The Earth

All of my Dear Readers who have been Dear for awhile know I can see into the Future. This time my seeing was different because I found myself Looking into the Past and then Looking into the Future from the Past.

You are probably going to find this Blog Posting Confusing and Crazy but there are a lot of Confusing and Crazy things going on in the world right now. If you stop and think a bit, what better place for Confusing and Crazy is there than a Blog named Foolishness...Or Is It?

************

Around 2,000 years ago this conversation took place between God the Father and Jesus Christ his Son...

Ø Jesus said, “I think it is time I go and save the world because things are really going badly down there”.

Ø God the Father said, “Sonny, I think you better wait till 2020. Things will be a lot worse by then”.

Ø Jesus said, “Father, you have never been wrong in the past but are you sure I ought to wait?”

Ø God the Father said, “You are pretty smart yourself. I tell you what I will do. I’ll think about it and let you know.”

God the Father, being a God of his word, got right on with his Think About It Promise...

Ø He looked into the year 2020.

Ø After he stopped shuddering at what he saw, he saw Jesus riding around on an Ass while Texting.

Ø He immediately understood that Ass Transportation was a really slow way to get around.

Ø He also came to an understanding that the area Jesus would have to cover in Galilee in 30AD was not really that big when compared to the Entire Earth in 2020.

Ø Ass Transportation just would not do in 2020.

Ø His Son was going to have to travel by Private Jet in 2020 or, instead of being away from heaven for 33 years, he would have to be gone for a couple of hundred years.

Ø He thought about how much he liked having his Son around and he shuddered again but this time at the thought of such a long separation.

Ø He got out his calculator (Actually his calculator was in his head. He had always been good with numbers.)

Ø He calculated how many Loaves and Fishes Jesus and his Disciples would have to sell to save up $50 Million for a Private Jet.

His decision was made in an instant. He called Jesus back into his presence and said, “Start packing”.

Would I kid u?
