country n news-dont do it

COUNTRY N NEWS-DONT DO IT

thats what i said to the little ole lady
at the big box store
you know the one that matches donalds hair color

she said i dont know which one to buy
to put on my yard

well it was her lucky day now wasnt it
standing next to me as i was taking these zoomed up
pictures of the ingredients
in this weed and feed stuff

heck when i walked in the store
the greeter said good morning
i noticed this chemical odor
that seemed real strong
like when my wife she used to use all those bad chemicals
in the house

as i walked in
i noticed my eyes started burning
felt just a little wheezy
when i went outside in the garden section
it went away
then
back inside
theres that odor again
those itchy eyes that wheezy feeling deep in my chest
i realized that it was all that big old pile
of weed and feed
that folks were grabbing left and right putting it in
their buggy

i thought man
thats a lot of chemical $&!+ thats getting dumped on yards
in this area
theres a lot of those donald colored stores around here
plus walmart lowes hardware stores grocery stores etc
selling that stuff
we are in the middle of a total all out chemical war
on all those weeds
that dont harm anyone
that i let grow mostly since many of them my bees love
or
just mow them down like you do the grass
why do we want this perfect looking yard anyway
its crazy i think

so i zoomed down on the ingredients of the two

lets see atrazine
take some and put in your fish pond frog pond
if you have tadpoles
see what kind of deformities you see in your frogs
if they live

this is banned in europe and canada

lets see 2 4 d
sure seems familiar to me
ever heard of agent orange
that stuff that the us sprayed in viet nam
onto everyone under the  sprayer
including us troops
we are paying millions and millions of dollars to affected troops
and their relatives until they die for the damage it  causes
i have more than one relative receiving compensation
so is my wife shes family

so agent orange is a mixture of 2 4 5 t and 2 4 d

so i wonder why we are allowed to put this stuff on our yards
on our crops and food
didnt we learn our lesson

well some european countries canada and australia did learn something
its banned there

maybe we all should move to canada huh
well i see some are if the election doesnt go well
canada is going to fill up with either republicans or with democrats

i still cant believe that people who have kids actually put this stuff
on their yards

back to the little ole lady
shes said
i want to use this but last time i did it my dog got this big bad rash
i thought its from that orange stuff
its a good thing you dont have a kid

so i said
would you like a lecture
yes she said
so i gave her one right there in the store in front of everyone
its a wonder i didnt get chunked out of there
like a protester at a trump rally

so i took her outside where we could breathe
i notice she was turning a little blue
i took her to the organic fertilizer section
where the air was purer
looking for texas local brands like ladybug 8-2-4 or medina growin green
or gardenvilles organic fertilizer
none there
so i found her a non texas one

i started to give her the corn gluten talk but figured
i had told her enough for the day
but
i did help her load it into her car
telling her as i did
just mow those weeds down
its all green anyway

thats what i do here at the country n
and
my frogs all have 2 eyes and 4 legs
and
croak loud at night

does yours

its over

ITS OVER
well i think america has partially spoken now
it appears this primary thing may be over soon
before its all finished
sucks to be the state with that last primary of the year

unless something bad happens
the two candidates are just about chosen
well
unless the powers that be in the republican party
try to do something to change things
ie
a brokered convention
i guess that means backroom stuff like in the old days
but without all the cigars

that probably wont happen though
but
if it did it sure makes this election season one for the ages

you know i looked at the percentages in the republican race
all but two need to drop out of the race
then
a trump vs rubio
what a cat fight that would be for sure
or
a trump vs cruz
now that would be a real wwe fight for sure

if those others dont drop out its over with
trumps gonna win the nomination

now we have these two choices
unless someone else jumps in

this year the turnout is up for the primary election
thats good for america
the more involved the better

im sure the turnout will be even better for the
general election in november

oh my this is gonna be fun to watch

i hate to see things decided by a minority of voters

when more show up
you feel like the majority has really spoken

so i heard on the radio this libertarian leaning commentator
say
you arent going to find the perfect candidate
who agrees with everything you believe in
so
you have to pick a few things that top your list
then find the candidate that fits that scenario
and
vote for that person

so
thats what i did
i voted yesterday for that person
plan to vote for that person again in november

let the game begin

dear ms b-we voted

DEAR MS B-WE VOTED


good morning ms b
by the time you wake up this morning
i will have voted

your gma and i go early to the polls to vote
we dont usually early vote unless we are out of town
we like the ambiance of election day
seeing all the campaign signs
listening to all the folks the right distance from the
poll entrance
sometimes shouting at each other
we even enjoy the lines
now here in the country the lines are not usually too long

we vote in an old community center
actually its an old high school gym
from a now closed high school
a real old gym by the way

it just makes the ambiance even  better

now ms b
i have voted in every election for president since i could vote
its my right my duty to do it
if i dont vote
then i dont have any right to complain about things
ive even wrote in my vote before
even voted third party once or twice

so when folks start talking about politics
in that whiny complaining voice
i say
did you vote
if they say no
i raise my hand towards them
and say
just talk to the hand

now ms b
this election is a crazy one this year
its a very very important one
this one will determine a lot of things that are important
for you

eg
the next president will probably nominate 1 maybe 2
supreme court justices
some of those on there now
look a little shaky when they walk

this will determine which way the court will lean for the next
several years
probably into your early adult life

so who folks vote for president will determine a lot
just based on the supreme court nominations

now there are a lot of other things are at stake
if we can just get the candidates to discuss them
intelligently and civil like

this ms b
is an awful primary season
its scary nauseating even
to think that some of the things that these candidates are talking about
like you know
the real politicians of washington
based on the real housewives shows

ms b
i hope when you grow up
that this world got left better for you
i am worried though
watching all this trash this political season
that it will not be


so this morning
when your gma and i go to the polls
as we pull the leaver
we will look at each other
and
say
what is best for ms b

thats how we plan to vote

so ms b
i hope you carry on this tradition in 17 years

everyone go vote when its your time
its your right
its your duty
dont do it
you give up your right to complain about things
if we dont all vote
we all lose in the end
