My latest baby Iris to bloom

I was beyond stunned when I saw the buds open on this Iris. I am not sure of the parentage. I don't always keep good track of the seeds I collect because there are simply too many, and not enough time.

Regardless, this thing is awesome. I only have one fan, but it does have a couple shoots forming on the side.



What do you think?

JOYOUS NEWS!!! Lay, Skilling - GUILTY!

FINALLY!

I have been watching and waiting, quite impatiently, for these two to get nailed.

Anthony update

Anthony is about 9 months old now. I had forgotten what it is like to have a baby in the house! Of course, the child practically adores me, constantly demanding my attention. The past two mornings, he's thrown a complete fit and started bawling when I had to leave for work. Poor thing, stuck home with mommy and daddy. I'd cry, too.

So, here he is.







On a different topic: I'll be posting some pictures of my Iris - they should all be blooming shortly. I have a few newbies this year that I have a hint of the color but won't know until they fully open.

Got debt?

More damned tax cuts for the wealthy......

WASHINGTON - The Senate gave final approval Thursday to a $70 billion election-year package of tax cuts that will extend lower rates for investors and also save billions for families with above-average incomes.

Only three Repugs voted against it, but some DINO's voted FOR it.

Just three Republicans — Olympia J. Snowe of Maine, Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island and George Voinovich of Ohio — voted against the bill. Democrats Ben Nelson of Nebraska, Bill Nelson of Florida and Mark Pryor of Arkansas voted in favor.

Just what those who make $100,000+ need - more money!

So, what's another $70 BILLION in debt? Rising interest rates, unemployment up, and new jobs down, yes, these spell out just how wonderful things are! I'm sure some will trickle down to the bottom, the working class will save $46 and the richest will save about $42,000. That sounds fair, doesn't it?

Bush does it again - the budget from hell

What is it with that fuckhead?

Let's keep those tax cuts for the rich - they need to make more so they can buy diamonds, SUV's and take lavish vacations. To hell with the working class, to hell with the elderly, and to hell with the under-insured.

Education? We need that? Nah. As long as our children are smarter than our president (they come that way out of the womb), it doesn't matter.

And how about that Exxon? Only a $10 BILLION profit? Oh, I think THEY need another tax cut!

Stop the planet!!!!!!!!! I want OFF!

Scalito in - Civil Rights out

It's the beginning of the end. Scalito was confirmed and four Democratic bastards voted for him.

Those offenders are:

Robert Byrd of West Virginia
Tim Johnson of South Dakota
Kent Conrad of North Dakota
Ben Nelson of Nebraska

Why don't these assholes just switch to the Theofascist party and be done with it.

Kudos to Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island for being the only rethug to vote Nay.

So, how soon until Roe V Wade is overturned? Lawrence vs. Texas?

I'm getting my pink felt out - anyone got a triangle pattern?

Awwwwwww! Isn't he adorable!?!?

While hogging the god/grandchild this weekend, I managed to coax him into a little chit-chat. He is only 93 days old, so the conversation was a tad limited. Still, I think it shows great potential.

I think that you need to save the file to your hard-drive and then open it. I tested it, and opening it from a temporary location only gave me the audio.

The Grand/God child: update

Here are a couple more pictures of little AJ.

Isn't he just adorable? This is at 3 months.

Hostility

All I get from those asshole freeper-Bush-apologists at Beethoven.com (not all, just a select few) is a bunch of hostility and grief and THEY call ME the nasty one.

Pig-Fuckers. They just don't like the fact that I am right about a few things, and their beloved Chimpy isn't.

Fuck them. May they rot in hell with Chimpy and Darth Cheney, and his back-stabbing-self-loathing repressed lesbo daughter of his.

Senate says "Bite me!" to Bush

The Senate voted 90-9 in favor of better treatment for detainees.


Chimpy must be furious! The Rethugs just thumbed their noses at him! How's that man-date feel now?

Gotta love this:

The Republican-controlled Senate voted Wednesday to impose restrictions on the treatment of terrorism suspects, delivering a rare wartime rebuke to President Bush.

Of course, it is ludicrous that we have to pass legislation to bar torture in this day and age.

Another one bites the dust........

DELAY INDICTED!

The official title of the article is Republicans in disarray after Delay indictment. Gotta love when Republicans are in disarray!

Here's a little nugget:

The charges come as Republican leaders face increasing difficulty in using their majority to carry out Mr Bush's legislative agenda. The president's ambitious plans to rebuild the Gulf coast after Hurricane Katrina have raised strong objections from fiscal conservatives within his party. There is growing consensus that Congress will be unable to enact Social Security reform this year. And extension of his first-term tax cuts is threatened.

Happy Dances may now ensue!

Delay down, Frist is next!

LIAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bush is a liar!!!!!!!!

From Editor and Publisher:

Q Did they misinform you when you said that no one anticipated the breach of the levees?

THE PRESIDENT: No, what I was referring to is this. When that storm came by, a lot of people said we dodged a bullet. When that storm came through at first, people said, whew. There was a sense of relaxation, and that's what I was referring to. And I, myself, thought we had dodged a bullet. You know why? Because I was listening to people, probably over the airways, say, the bullet has been dodged. And that was what I was referring to.

Of course, there were plans in case the levee had been breached. There was a sense of relaxation in the moment, a critical moment. And thank you for giving me a chance to clarify that.

My favorite seedling for '05

Here is my favorite seedling that bloomed in 2005. It's parentage is Prairie Blue Eyes x Joan Senior. The color is quite radiant. The photo really doesn't do it justice.

Betty Bowers sums up the latest

The beloved Mrs. Bowers' latest newsletter just is too good to not share.

Here's a teaser:

I see that our gallant President has decided that it is taking far too long for Iraq to look like America. So he has decided to meet them halfway by making New Orleans look like Baghdad. Only, perhaps, he went too far, as New Orleans could only aspire to a lawless anarchy as dry as Iraq's. And here I thought dear Katherine Harris and her faux-felon purge was the model for trimming the voting lines of Democrats! Frankly, Katherine's glorious efforts to relieve the registration lists of nefarious liberals can't hold a candle to the magnificent indolence of FEMA in New Orleans. And while dead people may vote (especially in Ohio), they don't show up in court to whine about being harassed at the polls. Glory!

Hurricane Katrina hits the Gulf coast, and Bush is in CA playing a fucking guitar!

This is (almost) unbelieveable.



So, while the South is being pounded by a category 5 hurricane, Bush is screwing around, playing a guitar, acting like nothing is happening.

Here is the text of the picture, per the Associated Press:

Goldberg is asking for it........

Bernard Goldberg, right-wing asshole, is just asking for it.

His latest book is titled "100 People Who are Screwing Up America."

I read part of the interview and couldn't finish it. The only Democrat he thinks isn't ruining America is Zell (from HELL) Miller. Pah-leease!

When are these vile pricks going to get what they have coming?

GAYSROK

GAYSROK is an excellent idea for a personalized plate.

Utah tried to stop a proud mom from expressing her love for her daughter, but they failed! Screw the mormons!

Mr. Clean

That stupid Mr. Clean magic eraser commercial was driving me nuts! I found myself humming the damned jingle every now and then. So, at Wal-HELL-Mart, I bought a couple of those things.

WOW! They REALLY work! I had some scuffs on my floor that I was unable to remove - I had tried bleach, scrubbing HARD, mopped until I wore the mop out and NOTHING. Ten seconds with the Magic Eraser and they are gone!

And the stuff on the walls - simply amazing! Now if it came in a large size with a handle! Probably will next!

A few more......

Ok, so more flowers

These are all seedlings that I have grown. Most of these are blooming for the first time this year.
