Synova ayon kay ...

It snowed on my flowers this morning.

Meade ayon kay ...

S'now on Syno's flow's.

KCFleming ayon kay ...

I am curious.

Shouting Thomas ayon kay ...

Wow, your garden is flowering early!

I'll bet Meade is a genius in the garden.

I'll be starting my vegetable garden next weekend. You'd be surprised how much I can pump out of my garden, which is at about 800 feet elevation.

Myrna trucked in a ton of topsoil and built two foot high raised beds. I'll have fresh lettuce in about six weeks.

Chip Ahoy ayon kay ...

What lens is that?

chickelit ayon kay ...

Meade you old Leitch--that's pretty mellow!

Nice flower !

@Pogo: So which is it?

wv: "unionfuc" Honest to blog it said that. Don't tell garage.

deborah ayon kay ...

Reminds me of a poppy...what is it?

(Lovely pic with the sun lighting the one petal.)

windbag ayon kay ...

Rhododendron are blooming here in the South. Might go searching for some photo ops in the next couple of days.

vza ayon kay ...

Lovely photo. I agree Deborah. Looks like a poppy.

edutcher ayon kay ...

...And a sight like that warmed the cockles of my heart.

If things look that good where you are, the warm weather must be at hand.

Rialby ayon kay ...

Uhh - it's 10:00 on the East Coast and Obama is making a public statement. This doesn't bode well...

Peter Hoh ayon kay ...

Just announced that Obama is giving a talk in about 20 minutes.

No topic announced.

Seems unusual.

Peter Hoh ayon kay ...

Rialby, I heard the talk starts at 10:30 eastern time. Did you hear different?

Rialby ayon kay ...

No, that's what I heard too.

Geraldo is suggesting it's to say we killed Quadaffi.

Btw, when is Obama going to make it over to Congress to let them know why we're in a shooting war in North Africa.

Rialby ayon kay ...

And if we have... what the fuck fills that vacuum now? I hope Obama has a plan.

Peter Hoh ayon kay ...

Yeah, I think that's overdue.

Rialby ayon kay ...

Oh, that's right. We do have a plan.

Let the "largely secular" Muslim Brotherhood take over!

Peter Hoh ayon kay ...

It's hard to imagine what other news would be worth such an announcement -- combined with the suddenness of the announcement, and the fact that there doesn't seem to be other buzz out there.
What are the options -- Biden had a stroke, we caught bin Laden?

Rialby ayon kay ...

One more point - so, from 2001 to 1/2009, all I ever heard from the left side of the aisle was - if you look sideways at an Arab, anywhere in the world, they have a reason to want to hunt us down and slaughter us in the street. So, what about our attacks on the government of Libya - is that good or bad? Will that galvanize anyone? Who's fault is that? Just want to make sure I have the new rules written down.

Rialby ayon kay ...

Personally, I think bin Laden has been dead for at least 5-6 years.

They just reported that all intelligence officials have been called to post.

Peter Hoh ayon kay ...

I suspect that bin Laden is dead, too. It's been a long time since there have been any new videos of his ramblings.

Lem Vibe Bandit ayon kay ...

The queen of england wore yellow to her grandson's wedding only to be derided by the View.

The color yellow is beautifull.

Peter Hoh ayon kay ...

couldn't be domestic, if intel officers were called to posts.

Peter Hoh ayon kay ...

Unless they just figured out that Biden is a Russian spy.

Peter Hoh ayon kay ...

terrorist plot busted?

chickelit ayon kay ...

Geraldo is suggesting it's to say we killed Quadaffi.

Isn't that guy who said there was money in that safe?

Mark ayon kay ...

Maybe he'll announce his resignation?

A guy can hope. For change.

Peter Hoh ayon kay ...

My local news couple is speculating that it's about bin Laden.

Mark ayon kay ...

Or maybe he's pulling a Palpatine and dissolving Congress.

wv: "forit" - nope.

Peter Hoh ayon kay ...

He's late.

Family gathered.

chickelit ayon kay ...

Peter is correct per Twitter

Hindi-nagpakilala ayon kay ...

House Intelligence committee aide confirms that Osama Bin Laden is dead. U.S. has the body.

Peter Hoh ayon kay ...

He better not announce that we are going into Syria.

Lem Vibe Bandit ayon kay ...

I'm hearing that Obama is about to
address the nation?.. and a source says it about Osama Bin Laden.

chickelit ayon kay ...

A dead bin Laden complete with a body could give POTUS a dead cat bounce in the polls.

le Douanier ayon kay ...

I hope Fox is right.

Lem Vibe Bandit ayon kay ...

CBS news says we have Osama's body.

Peter Hoh ayon kay ...

He's about to speak now. Or so they said before cutting to a commercial.

David ayon kay ...

Look's like we got Bib Laden and Obama's going to take credit. Stay tuned.

chickelit ayon kay ...

Shouldn't Alhouse up the color of this post to orange from yellow?

wv = "spitide" that one belongs back in the Ben Masel thread.

Hindi-nagpakilala ayon kay ...

OBAMA'S TO-DO LIST:

1. Announce candidacy for re-election.
2. Pull bin-Laden body out of freezer.
3. Schedule late Sunday night "surprise" news conference to ensure "did you hear" chatter at beginning of work week.
4. The Donald ain't gonna fire me!!! Suck it, you comb-over white boy!

le Douanier ayon kay ...

If it's true would it be possible to hold the BHO attack-angle for two minutes?

Let's be glad for two minutes.

David ayon kay ...

Look's like we got Bib Laden and Obama's going to take credit. Stay tuned.

Peter Hoh ayon kay ...

My son tells me that the idiots on 4chan are hoping that the announcement has to do with aliens.

Lem Vibe Bandit ayon kay ...

lol

Hindi-nagpakilala ayon kay ...

Fox News reports Osama Bin Laden ....DEAD>

Peter Hoh ayon kay ...

Fox says Osama dead.

David ayon kay ...

This is great.

Obama got Bin Laden.

Now he can resign after one term with the thanks of a grateful nation.

Hindi-nagpakilala ayon kay ...

NY Times home page: Osama bin Laden is dead.

Alex ayon kay ...

Obama just re-elected. Cancel the election, no need for it.

Alex ayon kay ...

typical Dhimmi voter - OMIGOSH Obama got Bin Laden!!!!

If it makes adent in the GWOT, sure. If it doesn't, it was rather symbolic, no?

Crimso ayon kay ...

killed by US strike last week

le Douanier ayon kay ...

"If it makes adent in the GWOT, sure. If it doesn't, it was rather symbolic, no?"

In my opinion it'd be nice to come together as Americans for at least two minutes.

It's a free country, you don't need to agree.

David ayon kay ...

Now, does the death of Bin Laden mean much, other than revenge?

That we will not know for a while.

Peter Hoh ayon kay ...

Dude doesn't know how to make an entrance.

Had he announced at 10:30 EST, he would have beaten the leaks.

Methadras ayon kay ...

They got him. They got him. Best thing Obama has done since the presidency is give the green light to fire that missile.

Hindi-nagpakilala ayon kay ...

This will be nothing but a great big terrorist recruitment tool, a bigger recruitment tool than, than, GITMO!....RIGHT?!

Oh the humanity!

Methadras ayon kay ...

If they have his body, let's see it, then bury it in pigs blood.

Alex ayon kay ...

In my opinion it'd be nice to come together as Americans for at least two minutes.

Uh, no. Obama can go climb a tree.

Lem Vibe Bandit ayon kay ...

Will Obama give Bush any credit.. likely not.. not helpful to reelection bid.

Alex ayon kay ...

If Obama is so fucking fantastic wrt the "war on terror" then why did he do NOTHING with regard to the Fort Hood shooter? Just brushed it off.

Crimso ayon kay ...

Word is the US has the body and DNA confirms

Hindi-nagpakilala ayon kay ...

"Obama can go climb a tree."

RACIST!!!

Peter Hoh ayon kay ...

20 seconds

deborah ayon kay ...

"Uh, no. Obama can go climb a tree."

Will you at least give him credit for zinging Trump last night?

Peter Hoh ayon kay ...

new thread

Crimso ayon kay ...

this is a big fucking deal

Lem Vibe Bandit ayon kay ...

If you ask me.. Obama has failed to get his man Gaddafi even while knowing where he is.. while Bush has come back from the dead to get his man Osama.

OMG.... did Obama attack Gaddafi on the verge of the Osama announcement in oder to avert the political spin I have just given?

Mark ayon kay ...

It would have been a big deal if bin Laden had been operationally significant any time within the last ten years.

As is, it smacks of wagging the dog.

OTOH, it gives The Won an excuse to cut-and-run in Afghanistan. "Hey, we got the bad guy, let's hold a parade for me and get the hell out."

(And yes, there will be a lot of high fives tomorrow and good fellowship, and I can't say that it's wrong. But at this point it will be shallow, and the next crisis Obama faces will erase the good feeling from memory. "Dead Cat Bounce" is the right term.)

Primrose yellow, which looks like this.

There is still the head of the one-eyed taliban to get there.

Thank you.
