And then there's that...

The owner of the Washington Redskins is being sued purporting insult to Native American's heritage.  What, like being damn near eradicated wasn't enough?  So much for the noble savage.  

F___ them!  Let them buy or build their own NFL team and name them the Waukesha White Devils or maybe the Sioux City Scalpers or how about the Baton Rouge Rapers.  Now, imagine them in the Super Bowl.  Imagine the half time show.  Woowee, I'd pay cash money for them tickets.

But seriously, with distractions such as this it is no wonder real issues are ignored.  Lawyers who dredge up and drag such dreck into our court system should be vivisected and their entrails made available to hangry ferrets.

Obviously, I don't believe in insulting someone who can't help themselves.  That's tantamount to kicking a puppy.  Maybe being raised with an invalid brother helped me to see that early on.  It helps me maintain a proper perspective.

Still, I bitch about the blue hang tags scooping up all the best parking slots.  Especially to that fat bastard squeezing out of his conversion van then groping his way around to his Johnny-Go scooter.  What keeps these people alive?

It is fun to see one of them bottom out an electric shopping cart at Wally World.  The best yet was a mother and daughter tag team.  Took out a clerk and a clothes rack then blamed the cart and threatened the involvement of barristers.  Good God, they were some foul smelling women too.  Shoowee!  You don't get that in a theater.  Unless your date forgot to bathe.

Yeah, I'm feeling really bad about myself just now.

What’s that grinding noise?

Talk about tragic.  Talk about preventable.  Talk about a 22 year-old executive director with bare minimum credentials being in charge of whether or not to call 911 when a patient’s condition demands it.  Talk about inane.   

Where in hell’s half acre was the medical professional?  Where was the person with one eye and half-sense, invoking the notion that even one so disabled could have seen the obvious and made the right call.  Hindsight what it is, we know that the death of the gentleman at a local assisted living facility was preventable and will most assuredly be adjudicated as such and I hope so. 

What kept the others from acting on behalf of the patient?  What compelled them to willfully engage in neglect?  Where was that one eyed half sense person?  Self interest being what it is, I bet it was fear of censure and/or the threat of being fired outright.  After all, minimum wage earners are the easiest to manipulate.  If accused, they can always peruse the Nuremberg Defense, “I was only following orders.”  

It needs to be said, that what transpired can, has and will continue to happen until corporations and their principles are made responsible and held accountable.  I mean, the Supreme Court said corporations are people too.  Time will tell.  In the years to come, we will be treated to more incidents of the inept making life and death decisions.  It will happen because profits are paramount, and care is just a word bandied about in a brochure.   

I fear if this is just the tip of the iceberg, then the baby-boomers are the Titanic.  No problem, you say.  Tell the Marconis to take the night off, we’ve got an executive director at the helm.  What could possibly go wrong?
