THE BLURB:

THINGS THAT SCREAM 'ENOUGH'

1.USA POLITICS

Shouldn't there be a horses ass in there?

Some choice Trump or Clinton. Who needs more of the drama and BS squabbles? Imagine being Hilary. She is hated by at least 100,000,000 citizens of the USA and many more around the world! Who needs it?

2. CARBON FOOTPRINTS

Man is to blame! No wait, let's consider volcanos, tectonic shifts, El Nino, floods and droughts. Poor California! A dominating factor in the weather of California is the semi-permanent high pressure area of the north Pacific Ocean. Who put that there?

This pressure centre moves northward in summer, holding storm tracks well to the north, and as a result California receives little or no precipitation from this source during that period. In winter, the Pacific high retreats southward permitting storm centers to swing into and across California. These storms bring widespread, moderate precipitation to the State.

Some of them travel far enough to the south to spread moisture beyond the Mexican border. When changes in the circulation pattern permit storm centers to approach the California coast from a southwesterly direction, copious amounts of moisture are carried by the northeastward streaming air. This results in heavy rains and often produces widespread flooding during the winter months. Blame it on human activity and the use of fossil fuels!

Come on Ontario quit whining about high hydro costs, we're changing the world by changing to green energy. NOT!

SELL IT TO BEIJING!

3. THE HOLOCAUST

It never happened. Yes it did! No it didn't! Well if it did it was the fault of the Jews for their lifestyle.

Someone blames the Jews for Germany’s “economic collapse” in the 1920s and for promoting “promiscuity … homosexuality … every type of sexual deviance.”

Let's face it folks; Hitler was evil and many German citizens were complicit! BASTA!

4. TV ADS

I saw a TV ad a while back. It was a pitch to have me use a drug called 'CRAPALOT'. The ad wanted me to ask my doctor which I did. My doctor told me it was a LOT OF CRAP!

" No I responded, it's CRAPALOT!"

" What are the side affects?", he asked in a rather impatient tone.

I tried very hard to remember all of them, Softer Stools, Frequent Farting, Groin Growls, Testicle Tickling, Bloated Bowels , Penis Palpitations, Stroke, Heart Attack, Colon Cancer and even Death.......

"Oh oh, where's the toilet?", I stammered all of a sudden.

"Whoa, whoa! Get out of my office", yelled my doctor.

"But I'm supposed to talk to my Doctor", I replied jumping up and down in agony.

"Yes I hear that a lot on TV, but talk to me before taking the crap stuff."

"No you mean CRAPALOT" I replied, releasing a loud, long lasting fart.

In walked his nurse receptionist.

"You buzzed Doctor?"

Needless to say I knew there was no more consultation here and that I would need to ask and talk to a new doctor. Thankfully I found a washroom on the way out. Afterwords I suffered a stroke and spent the next 2 weeks in 'Intensive Care'

ANOTHER AD

The ad for trucks announced in a very deep, sincere and annoying tone, "GUTS, GLORY, RAM" I ran quickly to a Nissan dealer and said "I'm considering a Ram"

He replied, "We don't do that here but there's a massage parlour on the next block that can look after you."

Right about then I could feel my Groin starting to Growl and my Bowels beginning to Bloat.

ANOTHER AD

An old man and his old wife are complaining about having to go out with some people.

"I'd rather stick pins in my eyes than go out with the Pattersons!", said one.

"I'd rather go and ask the guy at the Hardware Store for some 'EXPERT ADVICE', declared the other" "Even tho' last week he told me I should call a plumber. "

"Who told him I was using CRAPALOT?"

ANOTHER AD

An old rather homely man named 'PRETZEL' wanted to know if I had been injured due to the negligence of some thoughtless person. He left a phone number to call his law firm.

I phoned and asked, "Does a stroke resulting from taking a drug called 'CRAPALOT' qualify for legal action?

Whereupon a gravelled voice declared, " You're full of crap!"

Before I could say, "Tell me something I don't know " He told me to 'RAM ' it and hung up.

You guessed it. I suffered a Heart Attack and spent the next week in Intensive Care.

BLACK LIVES MATTER

Of course they matter. I believe we ought to worry about babies' footprints rather than carbon ones! Give young blacks the chance to grow up in communities with nurturing parents, intelligent leaders, good clean schools, great teachers, decent job opportunities, no criminal gang activities and pride in their families and leaders.

Has BLM raised a lot of racial crap in the USA? Was the aftermath which resulted from the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri designed to renew cries of racism or improve the situation in black communities?

Enough! Basta! No Mas! Pas Plus! Nicht Mehr! Mai!

FEAR

What are we afraid of? -- Terrorism, Radicalization, Violent Crime, Indigenous People, Economic Disasters, War, World Hunger, Nukes, The middle East, Overpopulation, Police killings, Gangs, Infidels, -- STOP! ENOUGH! GET A GRIP ANTHONY! All of the above should concern us but not cause panic and fear.
