After seeing a couple of hilarious communications about flatulence, I wondered if, by extending the interpretation of the word, we have become engulfed in a gale of noxious winds.
By this I refer to the verbal equivalent of farting wherein some statements are so foul in their vitriol, hatred and stupidity that they may as well be considered as mere emissions of noxious gas.
It seems that we are subjected to this from every quarter. From reality shows on TV to sputterings from governors' mansions (Pennsylvania and Maine in the lead here), to flapping congressional lips we get a constant flow nonsense and ignorance.
Consider just one topic, and less than one day's gas emission from just two people.
We live in times when a fool like Donald Trump can make pronouncements about climate change, and, much worse, there are those that go along with him. And to quote Newt Gingrich, thought by too many to be able to offer wisdom of some sort-“the age of the dinosaurs was dramatically warmer than this is right now and it didn’t cook the planet, in fact, life was fine.” He should know.
Its nothing other than noxious wind, flatulence in all but odor.
