State of the Crocus Address

COMMENT! Read Comments/Make Comments (There's 4 so far)

Since nobody seems to want these crocus updates, I’ll assume it’s because I haven’t explained it well enough, like Pres. Obama told Diane Sawyer over the weekend vis-a-vis his Obamacare that nobody wants because he hasn’t explained it enough times yet (or you’re just too dumb to get it!).  So here’s another address about it (or you’re just too dumb to get it!).  The State of the Crocus.  All rise.

Also see: “Crocus update: blooming is currently prorogued” (Jan 25);
and “Crocus ready to bloom” (Jan 22)

Be seated. 

Like Obama’s unemployment prognostications (it’ll be 8% I swear!  OK it’s 11, so who’s counting?), the crocus has still failed to bloom.  Except here’s the thing.  It seems to have tried to bloom, but a slug or multiple slugs working in cahoots like in a vast no-wing conspiracy of some sort, have actually eaten the flower itself as you can see below.  (Also see this blog entry re slugs for a sluggy coikidink!)

If I had applied some of those wonderful pesticides (now banned in most liberal “progressive” territories which we once thought were our own private property —suckers!), I could have — or allowed to have — fulfilled the natural crocus bloomage. 

So in effect, I could say that I could have “created or saved” the blooming crocus.  Yup.  Created or saved. 

As it is, it looks near dead. 

But unaided by any stimulus at all, these two other ones have popped-up.  They’re very enterprising!  Private enterprising!  Do note the smarmy li’l snail sittin’ right there waiting to pounce though!  I’ll zap it with some yummy illegal pesticides (or possibly send the young puppy Sammy out there to eat it) right quick.

And speaking of Sammy, for all those who ask about Sammy and whether her raging communist or jihadist reign of terror is over, well yes it mostly is, at six months and four days of age.  Here she is, post escargot lunch.

    What a completely pointless and silly SOU last night with the arrogant and self centered president do-over.  I wonder if Gibbs will be amending, apologizing, changing, fixing in today’s Press Conference over the many gaffes, lies, misrepresentations he made last night.  But hey, air-head sitting behind him seemed to like it and I guess that’s all that counts.  Biden looked comatose throughout the whole thing.  Couldn’t blame him, most Americans tuned out 43 seconds into his “I” campaign speech.  Can it actually get any worse?

    It scares me that he actually thinks he hasn’t been seen enough yet because I have never seen one president so many times in one year.  The problem is he doesn’t listen, doesn’t get it and loves insulting Americans, businesses and anything else that get’s in his way.

    The “O” is truly a zero.

    BTW, Joel, Sammy still looks like he’s got the shifty eye.  Keep you eye on him as it looks like he’s planning an attack against another magazine, the ground, his bowl or perhaps that crocus…lol

    Cheers

    daverbonz, I watched parts of that speech last night.
    I was thinking he must be running for some office or other.Sounded like a campaign speech to me.
    Doesn’t he already have an office?

    TWH, that’s what so many people have said.  He’s president of the United States and it’s high-time he started acting as such.  The bush derangement syndrome has got to be cured.  Someone has to tell him your not only embarrassing yourself but the country.  And impugning the Supreme Court in your G**D** SOU address is just petty politics and quite stupid. Ok, you may have scored some points with your democratic counterparts but to what end.  And to see that Chuck Schumer gleefully clapping and leaning right in the justices was infantile.  I’m dubious even the worst president of all time, Jimma, Dhimmi, Carter would have gone there. 

    On one hand I’m thankful this catastrophe doesn’t get it and he and his party will suffer debilitating losses come November and a short two years later they will have a real president who truly gets it.
