Blame Game

What happened to the cold? It’s only 47° outside at this early hour and the forecast is for a high in the low 60’s. If this keeps up, we’ll see a very early spring and that’s not a good thing.

I spotted a news article on a subject that’s dear to my heart…

Governor blames public indifference for prison ills
By Jordan Rau
“Saying that Californians have "lived in denial" about the crisis in the state's prisons, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger complained that apathy in the electorate is to blame for the lack of will in the Capitol to address the corrections system's overcrowding and rising costs.”

This man’s lack of intelligence and moral courage is appalling! We, the public, are to blame for the fact that the legislators and governor didn’t do their job? Didn’t we pay them enough? Are their offices too small to work in? Not enough staff? And what else have we failed to do? I know for a fact that we have failed to elect responsible people to high office.

Our acting governor never fails to raise my blood pressure. Every time I think he is finally “getting it”, he comes up with some idiotic statement. Doesn’t he have a handler?

  1. I fully agree, we elect them and make them comfortable to take care of the problems. It is pretty much in their job description! I despise people who displace blame!
