Occasionally, crudeness is very much called for...
My caption for this photograph expresses some of my recent feelings about my government.

Very nicely done Charlie...and I will refrain from commenting on your caption...it would easily get me in loads of trouble!

Yeah- I understand, Eric.
And I probably shouldn't have used the term I used.
But as I was processing this scan, I couldn't get the notion out of my head.
Luckily- because I vote, I have the right (if not the responsibility) to complain about such things.
And I am embarrassed for (and ashamed of) my government right about now.

Nice Charlie, and something different. It's an interesting, successful adaption, these quills, pokers, or whatever one chooses to call them. I noticed that the longer I looked at the image the more detail I saw in the body of the plant. As for the rest of the story, I'll follow Eric's example and pass. regards - Jim

I don't think this is very representative, Charlie. Seems to me that too many members of Congress lack spines.

Being an ignorant ferner, I'll also plead the cinquième, and keep my mouth ferme. A pointed presentation Charlie.

Thanks for commenting, guys.
I'm really not a political animal, but this recent nonsense in Congress really gets under my skin.
But I'll be quiet about it now.
Hey, how 'bout those Red Sox?
Except for the ugly beards and shaved heads- they're playing pretty good ball .
