Wildlife in the Garden second place: Magdalena Wasiczek – Mimikra [Magdalena Wasiczek]
The legend does not say, but I think the leaf on the right is a butterfly, or moth…. [mimikra = mimicry… maybe?]
I realise I am overly grabbed by this sort of thing, as a shut-in… but these photos really are lovely. A contest of photographing the garden… the idea of garden.
Anyway, enjoy…. 😉

I think I’ll try to get out to this exhibit – Body Worlds & The Brain – while it’s in the city. I note our local loudmouth Catholic bishop is bitching about it.
Concern for human dignity? You have GOT to be kidding me.
talk about calcified brains…
The preciousness and ability to excuse themselves… coming from the men of the Holy Roman Church is just unbelievable…
That bishop also wrote a ‘leave the popeyness alone!’ editorial not long ago. He likes seeing his name in the press.
There was protest against that show here as well, in SF… actually there are a couple of promoters who have put together that human body travelling show (I mean, more than one travelling show, different auspices).
HERE, the moan was from Chinatown… ti came otu that the promoter’s show that came here, had contracted, bought whatever the word is, bodies in China….
gah.
The promoter won the game for a while here, til the bodies began to leak. It actually was pretty funny… a reddish clearish ooze. They swore up and down it was not blood… and by now I forget the whole story, but it was a little too distasteful.
So the show closed…
I saw the show (or one of the shows – I forget the name) when it came to Minnesota several years ago. I have nothing against displaying cadavers or pieces thereof for educational purposes, but it was all very creepy. I had the feeling that the guy who created it was indulging his own sick fetish. But hey, it’s art.
yeah agree it def was a promoter’s conjuring… I did see however that children might really get off on it… it had enough creepyness and weirdness to do the trick…
Ir reminded me of 19th and early 20th century specimen collections…
yup
Bill Nelson is bleating, but it is an election year for him… and I read earlier today that they can smell the oil spill in Tampa.
The UK Telegraph has been pretty speedy with its reporting… the foreign press (UK and AUS, in particular) is ahead fo the US domestic sludge.
So cute… I am sure He shed a tear… still had one left after the funeral.
Of course just yesterday, Janet Nap sent one message while the WH (LeBolt was used I htink) sent another. Janet N: everything on the table (so unoriginal!) and WH said, still going at it! watch us! (words t that effect)
snickersnax…
Axe over working as clean up man for the s l o w 8 day non start.
GOOD LUCK!
The morning AFTER the oil makes landfall in SE LA… they all get so quick and busy and chatty. Yeah right.
More from Mike Allen. Persoanlly I hope the Wh had to change their underwear for a dry sets…
Mcat, that comment of yours last thread…
[to Politico] …Florida Billionaire Jeff Greene appears to be on the verge of jumping into that state’s Democratic Senate primary, adding a hurdle to Kendrick Meek’s underdog…
Guess who’s working for him now? What “insurgent” campaign with lots of cash to throw around wouldn’t be complete without the
Former Would Be White House Chief of Staff to President Dean?
LOL.
And on THAT happy
Joe GMAFB And The Howard Cash Back Trippi , ah ~note…
– I’m out for the day in search of the perfect truckload of manure.
yup… isn’t it a SCREAM???
I am loving it… and since I am OFF any little buckboard for anybody… I am also LOVING the screw and the wrench tossed into Meeks’ run.
I just wanna see the bites spurt blood.
From April 3, 2010 – Shell gets ready to start Arctic drilling within weeks after Obama go-ahead
Directly contradicts all of the Obama apologists who said the he only opened up “exploration”.
And this:
Yeah – jobs for people to clean up the wildlife and the environment.
How is it that the guy who hacked Palin’s e-mail account might get 50 years in jail but Bush, Cheney and the rest of the war criminals get off scott free?
“rule of law”
🙂
IIIRC, tonite is Bill Moyers’ last show. 😦
the replacement is JON MEACHAM.
What a shame.
I’m not familiar with him.
Meacham? I am pretty sure you will know him when you see him… ugh is all I can say. Religio lickspittle from Newsweek, shares the “On Religion” column with Sally Quinn at the Wapo online division… a fuckign simpering idiot.
He is ont eh record that is it is “just right” that Billy Graham should be perceived as God… who in Mecham’s words is “white and Southern”.
He is someone’s weak brained son that got palmed off on the decrepit US media. Becuase it is already a holding pen for nut cases and sell outs. They barely noticed.
Sounds like my Friday nite viewing schedule is in for a change then.
well, if you like watching a circus geek bite the heads off chickens, then Meacham is your guy. If not, then …
They are taking NOW too, with … their names elude me.
Weak lying Frontline…
I don’t know about other PBS local channels but ours has been brain dead for near to 40 years. And by now it only exists to inveigle a lot of rather limited do gooder dumb as rocks judeo xtian frumps to leave them money in their wills. They have an annuity scam worked out, people fall for it………..
The ads they run for that are a comedy. Basically.
ours has an auction on all night tonight
ugh ours does SIX WEEK long interrruptions, regular progromming 100% off…… they run 40 – 60 % of self help scams, or exercise, mind calming, all but alcohol based 19th c love potions medicines… you donate and they send you the [full] dvd and the books. That sick hump Dwyer a quasi shrink is a big one here.
They also do a lot of music shows geared for the mindless boomer era people. Show 40 – 60% of some anthology, you donate 120 – 360 dollars and get the full dvd… etc.
I find it absolutely horrible. Sick pandering and WEIRD.
as mcat says … he’s a horrible, clueless toadie to power.
well sheeeee-it.
Just saw Salazar, Janet Nap and that blob, Jackson from EPA… in a line up down in Louisiana. (pity it was not a criminal line-up in a police station)
We are in good hands. They looked like unnattractive corpses, with about as much brain muscle as a dead flea.
Well, there we have it, nutshelled:
Obama’s criticisms of the Warren and Burger courts
anyone still not get it?
Thanks for that…
Stunning.
The only thing to hope for is collapse in office. Luckily Ive decided I’d rather live under the full bore ogres than their even worse manservant.
… and this in one of his several updates… It is interesting as Lucy Dalgliesh is pretty much weak and runny jello… a strangely strong statement from her:
Poor little doesn’t-even-live-here Glenn. He assumes a lot:
saw, that and did the same ugh, you didn’t state that, moment, ….nonetheless, I have never posted under my full name, much less, start a website, like you have courageously done, Marisa ………. (and I perfectly understand why you don’t use your full name)
not sure what else to say there, other than
I love Glenn’s stand on Droning, using his real name
and Droning, to me, is the largest issue of the day.
well I don’t use my real name… I think most people get outed as they want to meet or hook up with people… and I am nto interested in that… OR they have some small or large connection ot the Democratic party… volunteer or whatever… and I have not had any connection with the local party, ever, but to vote. No clubs no meet and greets, etc., none of that.
I did call the Pelosi office for help, when I applied for Soc Sec Disability and once before that…, but that was years ago and not connected to anything online.
yeah, and well, don’t ya know, not so long ago, I contacted a US Cali House member’s office for assistance and was told I needed to fill out a form first, which amounted in my mind to a waiver for them to hideously use me for their Political Platform, come time for stumping, no care for the fact, I’d likely become unemployable for my outing, and basically let the intern I was dealing with know, Fuck All Ya’ll and the Dragon’s Ya’ll rode in on.
About that House member, I recently was amused, though not shocked, to find, first hand, that she is a favorite lawmaker, for those Republican CEOS and VPS who run the finance departments of the multinationals, to see to it to pay as little taxes, if any, as they can.
well I had to sign a release for the aide in the Pelosi office to be able to access my Soc Sec file… he faxed it to me, I signed and faxed and mailed…
The earlier call was for information, in 93.
I think it would depend on what sort of help I was seeking. If they need to intervene in your life, I can understand a form, of some sort. But if it is merely to be directed to services, I don’t see a form needed for that…
i.e.
so very tired of feeling required to sniff out enemies…when so many of us really do have good intent, but due to circumstances, totally beyond our control, are not always able to realize other’s ghastly, every day realities.
Oh shit, and sorry……..
this:
i.e.
so very tired of feeling required to sniff out enemies …..
was in reply to my comment:
saw, that and did the same ugh,
And this:
yeah, and well, don’t ya know….
was in reply to your comment, Marisa:
well I don’t use my real name…
I’m so glad I expected nothing from Barry, so he can’t disappoint me.
thanks for the link.
I LOVE Glenn assuming Obby is not speaking of Roe nor of Brown. How would he know?
Glenn has greater enlightened self interest than many R riding the current waves, but still…………….
It all gets threadbare.
he does always seem to grasp for some pathetic wispy little bit of fluff to refuse to fully face what a horror Barry Clinton is …
Glenn? Welll he has to retain faint credibility for when he regretfully tells people to vote for the born again slacker go along fuck up from Chicago.
he’ll present the dregs as enough. They always do.
I have to say the limp game of trying to point to Palin about oil is one of the sickest weakest feints the Dem party operatives have ever tried. Ob and his white folks are up to their nostrils in thsi one.
oh I feel sick.. they jsut grab these numbrs from their asses. It could be 25,000 barrels a day, they don’t even know.
When they said they could only measure (HA!) the surface oil and could nto measure down deep in the water… hell it was over.
And it may spew at full force for months.
I see they are madly hiring fishermen… as one said, they know my livelihood is gone, or they would not be “hiring” me.
I am fine with the gubmint and BP being scared shitless of white redneck Acadian and Cajun fishermen. Vietnamese fishermen, too.
Fine with me.
Just saw this…. I noticed a few of the reporters on the ground, near the barrier islands and wetlands and fishing areas in SELA looked positively spooked tonight on the various evening news. No shit.
I think the words, the following is not public, blows the smarmy fiction [lie] that this is possible projection. The words would be different…
This is the al.com blog that is linked to at the NYT, which downplayed the report A LOT.
It should be quite the site to see Obamalama yuking it up at the WH correspondent’s dinner Saturday nite while the gulf coast is being destroyed.
jeebus …
the way I read the info at the al.com link…. the damn thing is going to blow. Fully… the full weight of the well is going to leak.
CBS news, the reporter on the ground used 25K barrels a day… but that report says 50K and possibly no telling how much.
Every body looks scared. I hope the WH is absolutely losing their bowels in their overpriced undies.
No need for hope, madame cat.
Me thinks that WH is “…absolutely losing their bowels in their overpriced undies.”
Their…Oil-loo??
FP NYT –
BP Is Criticized Over Oil Spill, >but U.S. Missed Chances to Act
By CAMPBELL ROBERTSON and ERIC LIPTON
Also burbling up to the suraface… again, via NYT
Shadow of Hurricane Katrina Hangs Over Obama After Spill
They’re absoluteley flat footed …practically and politically…
Politically, As near as I can figure, Axelrod was the first to start backpedaling from more drilling…But their mixed message M.O. – (half calculus, the other half plain ole lazy bum dumbfuckery IMO) –
really has them nose deep in this bubblin crude now.
Well Buttered Fuckin Rumpcakes, Brownie.
And wait til THIS analogy comes into play…
“”Imagine if the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center were almost two miles high when they collapsed. Full of petroleum. That’s what we’re talking here on this rig. All that way down….down….””
And then of course the GOP operatives.
My Pet Goat? Psshaw. The OBAMA Administration took a WEEK to respond to this DISASTER and THEN tried to COVER IT UP.
And shoot me if you can find me for saying it, but the guy is only a year before pitching a very no lube pun, ~er run~ at re-election.
Welp. Good fuckin luck in Florida, fellas,
The Tar and Feather by then…
yeah .. but headlines… I see them too. We’ll see what sticks… if the link I put up to a long time environmental investigative reporter (up thread to an al.com piece, following a link to a NYT piece that did link back, but underplayed what it says) is at all right, the Gulf oil “leak” is going to blow beyond all fears.
If you want or need a laugh, scare up a vid of Ob at the Height funeral… NOT giving the eulogy but tearing up, seated in the front pew. He is overt, worked very hard to be seen…. it is awful. The laugh and the scream is Mama Michelle tossing him a very cold and extended look as he does it. She did not buy it, by my take.
Jesus. Just finished reading that link.
:
I saw some of the photes of Ob at the Height funeral.
Very close, I’m sure. 😉
Going back to Rosa and Martin and Jesse and Thurgood .
At various times post conception, he handled the zygote, fetal, neonate, and later on – the bodysurfing phases of the movement.
😆
LA Times says the crude is much heavier (and hard to clean up) than BP wanted people to think. I did laugh (or cry) when Suttles of BP tried to say it was like hair filament.
I think they are not in the oil biz, they are in the piles of excremental explosion business.
I ESPECIALLY loved the CG Rear Admiral, not Landry another one also female, down in LA with the hideous creeps from DC, who called BP, “our partner” and had to stop and back up. Slowly… but! the damage was done.
LAT
Time to go put a chick breast, or two, in the oven. (I am totally off any reasonable schedule, gah)
reading around, pretty clear the Feds at all levels all agencies are in a hot swweat over this…
Cathc this from Federal Eye… in the Wapo.
Reading the LAT more closely I understand why someone interviewed on Lehrer began to almost babble about “the deer” in the SE of LA and in the areas adjacent to fisheries and wetlands… . the heavy oil of asphaltenes, how hard it is to clean up, is hard on the “larger animals”.
GOOD LUCK!
HA!
he slammed Teddy too, for the windfarm… and for Chappaquidick too. vids at the link…
well I had to sign a release…
reminds me of back in a Pittsburgh, PA, burb, when a neighborhood Belgian Shepard targeted my dead brother’s house I moved into, trying to keep it in the family…and I was required to give my SS number to complain, when one of the potential suspects, was a cop illegally working in a district he didn’t reside in, whose dog, put a gash in a young boys arm….
turned out, it wasn’t even his dog,
the vicious dog, belonged to a Plumber’s brother,
a good ole boy, well loved/or feared, from the
hood
heh, and get this, they had a leash law for cat’s…
let alone vicious, illbred, Belgian Shephards running the neighborhood with absolutely no restraints…………….
one, near ripped apart, a young black boy, minding his own business on his parents likely well earned grasy patch, called a front yard
And FUCK YOU OBAMA
YOU, are no Martin Luther King, NOR, Malcom X
