Weekly Notes:

September 3, 2007:

Race Controversy:

Doctors sometimes disagree. When that happens, we must look carefully at the motives of the individuals involved. In a case that made a small news item recently a study showed that the incidence of breast cancer in black women is considerably higher than that in white women. One black doctor went to Africa to trace the cause of this disparity if she could. She concluded that there are genetic factors involve and the problem is due to the different genetic codes. The black doctor who disagreed with her did not go to Africa and had no apparent evidence to support his statement that it just ain’t so. It seems he does not want to let the race genie out of the bottle. Perhaps no one ever told this bozo that you cannot solve a problem by denying it exists. He is willing to hold a bias against truth to prevent prejudice against blacks. Duh!

Nurses:

Mrs. Gaffer and I were discussing the shortage of qualified nurses recently. She pointed out that the situation has become acute because there are not enough qualified nurses to be instructors. The base for training new nurses is disappearing. What then? Who will train new nurses? No one seems to know. The problem is more acute in New Orleans. No kidding? I wonder why? This situations is not at all improved by the activities of an insane prosecutor in Louisiana in his campaign against some medical people who stayed to help desperate people in the desperate conditions following the hurricane. They acted in god faith and he has not. He is just another of the sickos, very muck like the prosecutor in the Duke debacle. It is obvious his only goal is to make a name for himself. I think he is doing that and I think he will eventually rue it. Meanwhile, three heroic women are being trashed by his stupid actions.

This Week:

Terry Moran took over for Stephanopoulos this week. Nothing much changed. Moran is a good journalist. Again he had a Dumbocrat and a Republicrumb on the show. Again they hewed to the party line about Iraq. They were completely predictable. The surge is working. Sure. We have more American kids getting killed every day. We still have that same top hat and cane routine about what will happen to the poor Iraqis if we pull out. You know what? I don’t give a damn what happens to the poor Iraqis. I care about what is happening to our kids over there. The surge is not working.

What Else is New?

As I was sure they would, the NASA officials whitewashed the drunken astronaut scandal. They swear nothing of the kind happened. There is no evidence. It seems the charges just came out of the blue with no basis in fact. Sure!

Revenue Cops:

A few months back when I wrote my essay on revenue cops. It was partly about a particularly turdy little turd cop, but also very much about the incompetence of our present Michigan Secretary of State (SOS) and the degeneration of the quality of service in that office. You can find the essay, if you care to read it, in our archives in “The Gaffer’s Variety.” There is also a follow up essay called, “The Imperial We,” in the same archive. It is entirely about the SOS and one of her assistants, one Mary Bonner.

Pretty much everyone ignored my essay. It was only read by a few people and I received only one missive about it. No one gave a damn that I had been set up by these dishonest bungling fools. They did not give a damn, because it was not happening to them. Now a bunch of folks in Fenton, Michigan and a few other communities are up in arms against this incompetent bureaucracy. It seems the SOS in her power madness had decided to close some of the busiest offices in the state. One is in Fenton where some of these whiners reside. They got the media’s attention and they want me to give a damn. I will ask, “Where were you in the last election? Did you just walk in, pull the Republicrumb handle, and walk out feeling noble?” Bah, to you fools.

The follow up on this crap is one of these Fenton whiners had some influence with someone in the Michigan government. Hence, the legislature passed a resolution to stop the closing. It’s a damn shame that you must know someone and be a suckup to get something good done in Michigan. In that, I suspect it is no different from government anywhere in America. It matters not. Land is still in power. She will probably win the next election while the dumbocrats self-destruct again. With Land in power, Bonner will also be in power.

Since I wrote that essay about revenue cops, I have tried several times to get my address corrected. Each time I do it, the correction is entered into the SOS computer. Then, the next time I check, it has been changed back again. This is not magic. Someone is doing that. Someone is changing my address back to the old incorrect address. I have no evidence, but the most likely suspect for this malicious activity can only be Mary Bonner. She is the one who telephoned me after my first letter when she lied to me and spread bureaucratic manure over the issue. See “The Imperial We” for the details.

It was an office under her control that I had criticized most severely. When she telephoned me, I was foolish enough to make it very clear what I thought of her attempt to snow me. I have no proof, but I believe she has a vendetta against me and will continue it so long as Land keeps her in power. I’ll survive, of course. Now that I know about the crap, I will do what we always did before Miller streamlined the SOS office. I will go and stand in line at the local office to get my licensing done. That is what I just did a week ago. I received no notice and when I went to the local office I found that my PO Box number had been removed from my address again. The poor woman in the local office had to print out each of my registrations twice when she discovered the address had not printed correctly. As I said, I will survive, but I will never forget Land and her vindictive lackey, Bonner. Whether it’s Bonner of some other dork who is doing this, you did not get me again, you will not get me again.

I once thought, foolishly, if only women would get into government it would get better. It would get more honest. When I though that, I was thinking about the many good women I know. I was not considering the few women I have encountered who carry spite as a permanent part of their baggage. Now I know better. The ones who nurture spite, meanness, and shiftiness as permanent parts of their behavior are the very ones most likely to make it into government. The decent ones, like the decent men, stay out of it. Nothing has changed with women in power. If anything, it has got worse.
