Arms for War

Watching Chris Matthews on HARDBALL wondering about war in the Mideast.
Wake up Chris! How can we support the Military Industrial Complex without war?  President Eisenhower warned us. We didn't listen. Now we pay and pay and pay. We pay with dollars. We pay with lives. We pay with the denigration of our national honor. "When will we ever learn-------------?"

Listening to a Sarah rant on tv, reminded me of one of my late mother's sayings.  "She ain't had no upbringin'".

SBBK show

SEI BOKU BONSAI KAI ANNUAL EXHIBIT

Is it over the top to say our 2013 annual bonsai show was the best we have ever done? I think not. I've been involved in every SBBK event since the founding of the club, and this exhibit in all respects was one that will remain in my memory for a very long time. My hearty congratulations to all participants.

Thanks to the members who were there for the setup. I think it went very well, and was a good example of hard work and cooperation by all involved.
I don't believe that I've ever seen so many bonsai brought to the Friday evening setup. Several tables were crowded with trees ready to show. A feast for the eyes.
Thanks and congratulations to Valerie and Gordon for their artistic placing of the trees. It was done with love and care and attention to detail. This is what makes a successful exhibit. I can still see it in my mind's eye, and the memory will linger for some time.
Thanks to Dave DeGroot for his demonstrations and exhibit critique. His presentations showed a mastery of the art of bonsai and a refined ability to teach and explain.
Once again, thanks to all. Ya done good!!

BIG BROTHER

IS WATCHING YOU?!
Are we becoming a Kafkaesq society? Has "Big Brother" taken over our lives? Have we become the LAND OF AGREE or HOME OF THE SLAVE?  Has Land of the Free and Home of the Brave gone down the toilet of MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY?

Remember Adolf

THE PROMISE OF SECURITY IS THE PRELUDE TO DICTATORSHIP.

"President Obama defended what he called long-standing Internet and phone monitoring programs as valuable tools to fight terrorism, saying that congressional lawmakers have been repeatedly briefed on the program and that federal judges oversee the program “throughout.”

FEMALE PRESIDENT

Will there ever be a female President of the United States?  It's up to the women of the United States to nominate and vote for a woman. They have the majority of voters. If they really want to do it and put their minds to it, it will happen.
