Resign...Quit....Get Fired... or "Apologize ?

 Why Quit ?  We live in a modern world where there is no need to get fired over something we said or did. In fact, we don't have to resign or quit either.  We don't have to do anything other than "Apologize".
    

Just look at the news both recently and a while ago.

The VA Hospital scandal has been in the news for weeks...You know as well as I, that there are many assholes who just didn't do their jobs for whatever reason. So a few big wigs will resign and that will be the end of it. No consequences, no apologies, no nothing except disappearing from the public and life goes on.
   

It's everywhere and nothing is really clear. Look at politicians, celebrities, athletes, anyone in the public eye.  Some things like the VA mess are really terrible. Other things are just a joke.  We have all made some racial slurs at some point of our lives.  We have yelled obscenities from our car window, yelled at the TV,  blasted our spouses, and who knows what else.  Most of this is done privately, but on occasion someone gets caught.
   

Don Imus got in trouble years ago on radio for making a funny statement as comedians do. Ron Ford , Toronto's wonderful mayor says crazy things all the time and is always making apologies. Justin Bieber, (who I don't give a shit about one way or another) also just got blasted for singing some racial shit years ago when he was a kid.  I should say a kid before being a kid ???. Jonah Hill just took some heat for saying something, and TVs funniest female Chelsea Handler got blasted for not showing up at a Kathy Lee and Hoda show.  WTF is happening to us ?

Have we become a bunch of weak, scared, shy little pussies that are afraid to say anything ? Are we all getting scrutinized when making an off color joke, or just having a little fun ? Is this what life is becoming ?  Holy Shit. Don't you think it's about time we got our priorities in order ?  What do we do ?

I guess it's time to walk around with duct tape over our mouth.  That seems to be the only solution....

So Much Bullshit

How can we be such a great country, yet constantly find ways to fuck up everything about it ? How can we have the greatest military in the world, yet find ways to fuck our veterans ? How can all this be possible ?  Reading the news these past few weeks about all the shit going on in our VA Hospitals makes me sick.  When I first moved down to Florida, I used the VA hospital for medical stuff.  This only lasted a little more than a year, because I worried every single time I went there.
     

There was something about it that scared me.  I only prayed that I didn't become really sick that I would have to be admitted there.  From the outside, it was beautiful.  A nice new building, lots of pretty trees, etc. around it, free valet parking.  But then, on the inside, it was complete chaos.  I felt like I was back in the Army waiting on line again for anything and everything.  Wait for an appointment which took forever. Wait for a blood test. Wait to see the primary doctor. Wait for everything....OK, the primary doctor I had was a pretty nice guy.  The problem is, he would spend about 120 seconds with me and take a quick look at me and a quick look at the blood tests...There was no other time for anything else because of the huge number of other vets he was treating. There were some good things about the VA Center, but the bad certainly outweighed the good....
    

I realized this pretty quick and soon left there. Who knew that some ten years later, people would be dying to get in, and dying as a result of some of the things I just mentioned.  Usually I can joke about anything and everything, but this is a disgrace....Shame on you VA.
     

Speaking of things that are bullshit in the news lately is the new gift shop in the just opened up world trade center museum.  Sure the museum is great (I am sure), and of course there is going to be some enterprising people that have figured out more ways to fuck the public by having an overpriced gift shop with all kinds of useless items.  But what the hell, all those wonderful folks visiting from Kansas and anywhere other than NY, CA, will spend a fortune buying useless crap.  But then again, how is that different from going to a ball game these days and buying and eating all that other useless crap ?  I can't wait for St. Patricks Cathedral to have a gift shop.
