Rose has been getting a lot of attention lately in her support for our Mayor Ed Lee. She may need to to think before she speaks though. She was quoted as saying, I want to help MY community. To me that is wrong. It’s about THE community not a person’s racial community. If I were to say oh, I don’t know, I want to support the white people then someone would invoke Godwin’s Law and link me with Hitler and the KKK.Rose has been getting a lot of attention lately in her support for our Mayor Ed Lee.... more

Though not as bold as red, pink plumeria flowers have a unique place among plumeria flowers when it comes to color. Bright pink colors express youth, fun, excitement, and confidence. Pink, since being chosen as the color to symbolize the fight against women’s breast cancer possibly for its association with baby girls, has internationally added awareness and hope to its already recognized romantic and charming appeal. Pink plumeria flowers offer this softer side to their red counterparts.
Pink flowers come in different shades known as blush, coral, fuchsia, raspberry, rose, salmon, hot pink, and magenta. Some named pink plumeria flowers among Plumeria rubra officially registered with the Plumeria Society of America include Charlotte Ebert, Grove Farm, Maui Beauty, Mela Matson, Sally Moragne, and Slaughter Pink.
These are just some of many well known pink plumerias. These are proven performers producing delightful scented plumeria flowers. http://www.howtogrowplumeriafrangipani.comhttp://www.howtogrowplumeriafrangipani.com Pink Plumeria Flowers

America elected Barak Obama for one reason only. We had spent years with a government found to have become utterly corrupt, a pack of criminal gangsters no better than Pinochet in Chile or Pol Pot in Cambodia. We were going to go in, put Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rove, Rice, Ashcroft, Gonzales along with 2 dozen top military leaders and more senior members of Congress in prison. When we were done, we would go thru the oil companies, banks, defense giants, insurance companies and more, doing the same. We hoped that when we were finally done, whoever was left would know that they were part of a government by and for the people, not employees of a criminal conpiracy.
President Obama, his backers, the Democratic Party and the boys in Congress across the aisle, however, didn’t want anything to change, it was simply their chance to cash in. We are now left with a political debate in America devoid of any public interest at all, only thieves fighting over the remains of a corpse.
The simplest thing to stay would be to demand an investigation over the illegal attack on Iraq and the national disaster to follow. We have 5000 dead Americans, over a million dead in Iraq and hundreds of billions of dollars stolen in cost overruns, missing oil, missing weapons and a cast of criminals who have convicted themselves. This one is a ‘no brainer.’ Mr. Obama, you won’t even look at this? What are you thinking?
The safe bet for the Bush boys is 9/11. They grew up looking at how a cabal in government had killed President Kennedy and managed to push the whole thing on a half wit, Lee Harvey Oswald. With a cheesy investigation run by the conpirators themselves, led by Allen Dulles, shadowy former Hitler crony, witnesses were silenced, evidence destroyed and an implausible cover story was sold to the American people.
All that was needed was a heavily infiltrated terror cell helped along by friendly Israeli airport security, Rumsfeld “standing down” our Air Forces and several black ops attacks like the Pentagon bombing/missile attack coordinated into the time frame and the stage would be set for a second term, national bankruptcy and the overthrow of our democratic government. Even when it all fell apart, films, evidence, witnesses, testimony all led the planning and execution of 9/11 to the Bush Whitehouse, and millions around the world clammored, “COVERUP!!” the perpetrators will still safe.
Too much money had been made, too many were involved and the whole rotten mess, Democrats and Republicans, would all have to rot in prison together if it came to the surface.
What was the lesson of 9/11? Today it seems to be drugs. When we privatized, not only the CIA but rendition flights that never stop at customs and death squads that can name their own victims, we were really building a national drug Mafia to take the place of the CIA and a dozen more agencies.
How can it be gotten away with? As with Iraq, billions of dollars worth of heroin/opium is flowing out of Afghanistan, enough to pay off governments in the region, military leaders, friendly warlords, unfriendly Taliban and hundreds of key players in Washington and elsewhere. Not only can we fly tons of drugs around the world, but we can murder anyone who tries to stop us, law enforcement or competitors as “terrorists.”
Will we ever look into the hundreds of billions of dollars bilked out of the American people, theft going on still, every minute, from rigged gasoline prices? Again, the same answer, a flood of money, enough to buy Congress, enough to own the Whitehouse, enough to buy any newspaper, any network.
We could name a dozen scandals, two dozen. Everything our government touches is corrupt. Nothing is done without payoffs somewhere or it would “die in committee.” We have no government except to steal. More at link above:By Gordon Duff STAFF WRITER/Senior Editor

*By Bette Midler--"The Rose"
It begins....
Roses represent life and death. They adorn coffins and newborn's bedrooms. Snag a finger on a thorn and you bleed, but make it to the top and you get to the heart of the flower and benefit from its growth. But a rose without a scent? Why that's like a violin without strings! I think this world has become so mass-produced that it is even taking the most natural things away from nature.
"I went into a florist and saw the most delightful array of roses. Crimson reds with blackened borders. Blush pinks that looked the same shade as ballerina’s tutus. Yellow the color of custard. White’s purer than the fluffiest cloud. I touched their delicate petals and their texture was fragile but strong enough to withstand just enough pressure to let my fingertips glide along their ridges. Long green stems with glistening, emerald colored leaves were placed amongst yellowed thorns.
And, sticking my nose into this magnificent array of beauty—-I smelled nothing. I expected to be hit with glistening florals, sparkly citrus and mind-blowing musks. But all I smelled was an icy-wet odor of stale refrigeration and wet grass. What a horrible illusion these beautiful sirens were!......"
