the BScubed/You've Got To Be Kidding Me Award goes to...

Delaware transportation secretary Shailen Bhatt who told the AP: "We closed the bridge in time. We did not have a failure. That bridge is still standing and nobody has been injured. I'm happy to accept responsibility for this agency's actions."

Thank God that there wasn't a failure and nobody was injured, Secretary Bhatt. Don't thank the Delaware DOT employees who didn't act on the "heads up" that they got from a citizen MORE THAN 8 WEEKS AGO.

Secretary Bhatt, in the future, in the interest of brevity, please use the number from BScubed's List of 99 Standard Baseless Self Serving Statements, e.g., "#1" (which happens to be "it's all good").

Congratulations, Secretary Bhatt, the BScubed (Baseless Self Serving Statement)/You've Got To Be Kidding Me Award is yours.
