Rugosa Roses
Greetings and salutations from the sand, sun and surf of Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard and the great island of Nantucket! So good to be with you on this glorious Thursday morning, the sixteenth day of June, 2011, here on Cape, a cool start to the sun drenched six a.m. hour and I bid you and yours a fair and fine adieu. A few points of interest for our family here in New England, the Boston Bruins, of the National Hockey League, won the coveted Stanely Cup Championship last night before a record crowd watching all over the world. When I lived in Denver, I watched my other favorite hockey squad, the Colorado Avalanche, with the help of Ray Bourque, a former Bruins hero, win the Cup in 2000, and adorned the baseball cap reading “44-mission accomplished”, a saying that was later stolen, or plagiarized, by former President Bush during his aircraft landing in the Persian Gulf, declaring victory over our “enemy” Iraq, a victory that was, historically speaking, far from being realized–has it? Nonetheless, congratulations to the Boston Bruins, the coaches and the town of Boston, who needed a win on ice, as it has been quite a long drought for a number of years…KUDOS! If only the political rodeo that is “Decision 2012″, and all of the hot air that goes with it, could be determined in the same way. The Presidential debates, for the republican party that is, went on a few nights ago, and if you missed any of the low lights, don’t feel bad, nothing new was said. The economy and it’s troubles, are all the fault of our current President’s, “big government” agenda, not to mention a social/gay agenda that is being forced down the throats of those “good Christian American” tax payers” who the party of hell no (otherwise known as Republicorp of America) speaks so often for in their myriad of confusing talking points, as they ship their jobs overseas, tell their women that they cannot have an abortion, nor can they use birth control, and take away Medicare and Medicaid from seniors and the poor, “balancing the budget”, all while refusing to end billions and billions of dollars in farm subsidies, oil and gas subsidies and LOWERING the corporate tax code, along with the individual tax code for those making over 250,000 dollars a year. The republican party wants really, really small government when it comes to spending money on the EPA, keeping you water and air clean, but it wants really, really BIG government (credit TRMS) when it comes to your bedroom. Hell, if the republicans had their way, they would be taking out gays and lesbians and shooting them in the street as they do in Uganda, a place republican law makers frequent often and see as an experiment that could be implemented in this country in the not too far of future. What these puppets fail to realize is that demographics will, eventually, take them over, not to mention climate change, and as the earth’s crust continues to bake, and as we spew more and more carbon dioxide into the air, creating that ‘greenhouse’ effect that is the chief cause of our climate woes, the republican party will begin to implode under the weight of it’s own ignornace, insolence and greed. So, good Luck Mitt, Newt, Palin, Huntsman, “TPaw”, Cain, Perry, Bachmann, Santorum, and the rest, you will need it–for in this social media environment, the masses will KNOW who and what you people REALLY stand for--the PLUTOCRACY–and who you most certainly do not, the true American people, it’s environment and the animal kingdom that share this beautiful world with us ALL! Have a nice day folks and don’t take any wooden nickles from the likes of FOX NEWS, for it is not news, rather, a shrewd interpretation of it’s skew to the interests of the “men behind the curtain” who pay to keep the lights on, dark lights as the case may be. PRESERVE THE WILDERNESS! Peace~! M
