He was running out of things or people to blame whenever something goes wrong.
The hole in the ozone layer was a good one, but people don’t seem to talk about it anymore. Blaming the bomb use to be really great, he was very fond of that one, but things have changed so much that most folks wouldn’t know what he was talking about. Politicians were always a great target, but that was back in the day when there was just one that really stood out as an incompetent fool. There seem to be so many of them around today that this has lost its punch. Of late, he’s been using the weather as a reason that this unfortunate situation has come about or to explain why that thing just isn’t working anymore.
He finds it depressing that he can’t come up with a readymade person or thing to blame and doesn’t know who or what to blame for that!
