Rempel is my member of Parliament. She’s a good conservative, and a real babe!

I find it both instructive and dismaying that a tweet decrying this comes from a director ‘of one of Canada’s leading journalism schools’ contrasting this dispute using “With all eyes on Trump’s destruction of US politics and civil society”! Sheesh, even above the 49th Parallel, the STUPID exerts itself amongst the media!

'With all eyes on Trump's destruction of US politics and civil society, a silent but deadly political scandal in Canada,' tweeted Josh Greenberg, director of one of Canada's leading journalism schools.

I saw what he did there.

LOL! It took me back to 2nd grade at St. Peter and Paul Catholic School in 1960.

I told a kid a joke and he laughed too loud so the Nun took notice and asked what was going on. When she learned that the joke had the word "fart" in it, she sent me to Mother Superior who pinned a note on my shirt about "using filthy language" and sent me home.

I was afraid that Dad would be really pissed and balked at telling him the word - for a while. When he heard it, he asked if that was the real story and I told him it was. He dragged me down to the school and into Mother Superior's office where he asked her what I had said. She told him it was too terrible to repeat and asked if I had told him. He told her I had, but he needed to verify it before he could decide on punishment - if I lied I might not be properly punished.

She finally told him that I had said the word "fart". He looked at her and asked if that was true and she acknowledged it was.

He then looked at her and said, Well Jesus Christ, what the hell's wrong with that?"

She reddened, I paled, and he grinned and took me out for a banana split (39 cents at the local Woolworth at the time).

He had no time for the prissy-minded idiots of the world.

Rempel should have replied: Well then, I guess saying you’re full of shit is out of the question.

Sorry, that was all Bill Clinton.

I know nothing about Canadian politics, but I must say that a lady should find a better, more dignified way of expressing her thoughts in any public forum, especially in the Parliament.

“Fart” sounds better than “toot”,
And really makes more “scents”
Than either “poot” or even than does
“FLAT-U-LENCE”.

Is this either a poem or a haiku?
