How long will this continue?

Why do so many provide cover for stupid? Frankly, I grow tired of this “gaffe machine” crap.

Therefore, today I do you this service. I have had enough and now provide you with the definition of gaffe, courtesy of Webster’s.

Gaffe 1: a social or diplomatic blunder 2: a noticeable mistake

The word gaffe is a noun and has been with us since 1909. The definition does not give us much. Therefore, I will include the definitions of blunder and mistake, both courtesy of Webster’s.

Blunder: a gross error or mistake resulting usu. from stupidity, ignorance, or carelessness

In this instance blunder is a noun and has been with us since 1693.

Mistake 1: a wrong judgement: misunderstanding 2: a wrong action or statement proceeding from faulty judgement, inadequate knowledge, or inattention

In this instance mistake is a noun and has been with us since 1600.

So, the next time someone says something stupid was it a gaffe? Or did they just say something stupid?

Should a picture accompany the word in the dictionary?

One would think

It does boggle the mind that some people just do not or will not learn from mistakes. Refusing to learn from the mistakes of others is one thing but refusing to learn from your own mistakes is quite another.

It was once said, Doing the same thing over and over expecting different results is the height of insanity.

We have a couple of “enlightened” individuals, one a sitting member of Congress the other a media personality, openly calling for the assassination of the Russian president. This I guess is what is known as regime change. Well history teaches that regime changes by assassination have a few unknowns. The first is the replacement. Will he be the same, worse, or better? The second is what could be the unintended consequences? The intended consequence was to rid the world of that person. Will it stop there?

Seems as though I remember not too long ago that an administration thought the world would be better off without the Libyan strong man. Some remark was made, we came, we saw, he died. Well, how did that work out for Libya? Seems like that administration had a bad habit of regime change or attempted regime change. It was not just that administration many before it engaged in Regime Change.

I also recall a World War erupting because of an assassination. That was World War 1.

If the fantasy or fetish of these two “enlightened” individuals comes to fruition, are they ready for the possible unintended consequences? Is the world?
