The Blame Game is alive and well in America. I’m watching in High Definition (HD) on television right now, as well as seeing via social media, blame being spread on the recent Helene hurricane disaster. So and So is blamed for not sending money—while John and Sally Doe didn’t help enough.
Simply speaking, those doing the complaining generally did nothing at all, yet pointed their fingers at others to try and escape any guilt. Some folks, however, are simply born to complain.
All of this reminds me of a joke someone pulled on a former boss years ago. My supervisor was always griping about this or that on a daily basis. One morning he came to work and found a box of Midol sitting on his desk. For those not up to speed on what Midol’s intended, look it up. In today’s bizarre world of folks not knowing whether they’re male or female, I suppose the use of this drug has reached a whole different plateau.
Don (not his real name) thought the joke was funny, and I believe he got the message. Today, the person initiating this ruse would probably be fired. Easily offended thin-skinned snowflakes would raise Cain and make sure it happened.
Getting back to the blame game. A man on Facebook was criticizing Billy Graham for not sending money to South Carolina. This individual was immediately corrected, with many quickly saying that Billy Graham was dead. Franklin Graham, Billy’s son, through Samaritan’s Purse, has been on the ground running with supplies and crews of volunteers, helping out even before Helene hit.
Vice President Kamala Harris tried to play The Blame Game, by stating to anyone who’d listen, that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis didn’t return her phone calls regarding help, and that Floridians would suffer when Hurricane Milton hit.
Why would he expect calls from her, when President Biden acknowledged that he’s in constant contact with governors from all affected states? The president even went on to praise Ron Desantis, by saying he was doing an excellent job.
Our president is still at the top where the chain of command is concerned, and he’s letting that be known, especially to his possible predecessor, Kamala Harris. Without a doubt, she’s trying to create a ruckus here strictly for political gain.
I try and tune out those people routinely bellyaching but it’s sometimes hard. In the back of my mind, I often think of Don and that box of Midol. It seems after this joke was pulled the man did chill and change for the better. Is it possible he started taking the pills and they worked?
That’s something I’ll never know, because sadly, my former co-worker is no longer here to answer that question.
I like to write junk...
