My War Begins!

Hello My Dear Friends! Let me start by wishing you all a safe and happy Independence Day! Your fireworks scare the hell out of me but, I'll deal with it! Now, as I told you the other day, I have declared an all out, unabashed war on stupid! It didn't take very long to find combatants. Let's start with the great State of New York. This weekend is the most dangerous, statistically, on the roads. So NYS put up 500 electronic message signs warning drivers of the dangers of distracted driving! Do the signs read, "Stop reading this message and put your eyes back on the road"? No, they do not. Who was the genius who decided that the way to combat distracted driving was to line the roads with distractions? STUPID!
The Federal Government (need I say more?) released the latest numbers on the "success" of the Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare). They report that, after 9 months of trying, they have been unable to resolve 85% of the 2.9 million "inconsistencies" on applications submitted. The vast majority of those "inconsistencies" involve citizenship and/or income. Details, details! Yes, those are the two most important aspects of registration, but they'll work it out eventually. One state run marketplace managed to classify infants and young children as "incarcerated"! That certainly gives new meaning to "Baby Jail". The Fed went on to say that there is NO EVIDENCE that anyone intentionally tried to defraud the system to get benefits or subsidies they were not entitled to. LOL! What are they basing that on, the incredibly successful and fraud free medicaid system? Hey Genius, people are defrauding the system. It's what people do. STUPID!
A 5-year old boy, in Surprise, Arizona, pulled down his pants on the playground. I don't know why. It could be because he's a FIVE YEAR OLD BOY! It doesn't matter though. He was taken to the administrator's office where he was told to sign a note admitting to "Sexual Misconduct", which was then placed in his permanent file. The boy was then given detention. All of this took place BEFORE his parents were called. When his mother complained she was told that a parent need not be present during disciplinary hearings unless requested by the student. The 5 year old kindergarten student? Apparently he wasn't aware that he had the right to counsel before admitting to a sexual offense. Imagine that! The school board says it is what it is. It doesn't matter if the student is 5 or 15. The rules are clear. Seriously? STUPID STUPID STUPID!
