Today, we went to do our weekly grocery shopping. I picked out a couple of bunches of flowers for the great room. Thse are nearly-white Vendela roses and white carnations. Both look and smell pretty. Click on the image to enlarge.

Saguaro Flowers
Many of the saguaro cacti in the area have started to bloom. The saguaro flower is the state flower of Arizona. I took this photo at the shopping center at the west end of town this afternoon on the way home from the dog park. Click on the image to enlarge.
Heroes Don’t Brag
John McCain and I don’t agree on much these days, but today he denounced the president’s obvious attempt to take credit and to capitalize on the work of the Navy Seals true heroes who brought the ultimate punishment to Usama Bin Laden one year ago. McCain characterized Obama’s overt ploy as “bragging” about the mission. I’ll give McCain props, as an actual hero, for calling it like it is.
Image: phony cabinet photo attempting to dramatize the administration’s lame efforts
Ever since the UBL takedown, the administration has been trying to trump their hand , starting with the staged dramatic photo seen here supposedly of high-level cabinet members witnessing the operation, and ultimately, with the president using his position as commander in chief to travel to Afghanistan for some phony meeting with Karzai (two presidents, both enemies of America, together) to sign us up for more bullsh*t agreements on the UBL death anniversary.
The man is truly disgusting . . .
