Taking Responsibility

I was one of four children but my mother always told people that she had five children. She said that whenever she asked who had done something, the response was always, "Not me".

Trump leads the Not Me brigade. No longer does "The Buck Stops Here" adhere to the presidency regardless of what Truman showed on his desk. Now it is more along the lines of denial and delay.
One of Trump's supporters in Congress today said that Anthony Fauci should be fired and the corona virus task force should be disbanded because Covid19 information was undermining the administration's economic message. I suppose his underlying message is that more people should die if that means Trump looks good.

That's right America--forget that your grandparents are dying and your children can't go to school because the economy is still gangbusters. That's if your gauge to the health of the economy is the Dow Jones. The Dow Jones numbers alone should alert people about the problem of using those economic numbers to determine the health of an economy. Just because Ivanka got richer certainly doesn't mean that you or your neighbors are doing well either economically or socially.

I expect to finish the quilting on Delectable Pathways tomorrow. Then there will be the trimming, binding, labeling, etc. My next project will be a mixture of Scottish heritage symbols and William Morris motifs. Of course I know that the two are world's apart and I have absolutely no Scottish ancestors at all. Nevertheless, a good design is a good design regardless of its origin.
