I’m having a problem with the herd of 1%ers running for prez, I’m not hearing ANY of them addressing my own personal reservations with our current president’s policy.

When the banks were bailed out, it didn’t help anybody except the bankers. I thought at the time that instead of applying the trickle down policies that never worked for Ronald Reagan, that he should instead have done something that would have prevented the real estate crash, by bailing out the people faced with forclosure…

By helping people to make their mortgages, and looking into the house of cards that created the problem, the housing industry would’ve been saved, and the real estate crash would’ve been prevented and the banks would have gotten their money. Win-win. Woulda prevented job losses, because people woulda had money to spend… Seems like bailing out the people woulda taken less money and done more good in comparison to bailing out the bankers.

Looking into that mess created by Greenspan’s deregulation of the industry woulda punished the people responsible instead of the rest of us. As much as it hurts to admit it, this banking bail-out fiasco has it’s roots in the Clinton administration. Shouldn’t these Republican candidates be seizing on this obvious example of bad Democrat policy?

Bailing out the rich while letting hard-working America be forclosed on hurt everyone except the one percent who are busily buying up our homes at fire-sale prices.

None of the clowns running to be prez has said anything about looking into that fiasco… If you’re looking for stuff to fault the president on, let’s focus on real stuff!

Nobody is talking about this, and I don’t understand why. If you want to get people’s attention, you should talk about the things that affect their well-being.

I trust yall have seen the new gewgaw in my sidebar…
I had one of my blogs visited by someone sporting one of those, and I immediately went over to blotanical and signed up. 

I’m not sure what the problem with the sign up form is, I was able to sign up, but the form didn’t like any of my blogs. I had to submit a help request. The nice people over there quickly added this tumble blog to my profile over there (link doesn’t work unless you join… they need to fix that!), Soon I had lots of visitors who were leaving nice comments, and even picking some of my posts, (sorta like hearting them here).

Something I notice when visiting the blogs listed at blotanical, is the sheer number of comments each post receives. While the hearts and reblogs that everybody here have generously bestowed on me are nice, Some actual conversation is desirable as well…

Visiting garden blogs tends to be inspirational for me. When I saw people posting their new year’s entries, It started me thinking.

Yall have already seen the drought post I posted here, I went on to post a review of last year’s blog posts, and I’m still posting! Visit winter pics from 2011  and spring pics from 2011, Summer pics and Autumn pics. That 4 part series was a lot of work, I shoulda thought of doing it back in December!

I also visited a blog that told me how to create collages using flowers and the scanner! I’m gonna do some of that!

I was having a great time visiting the garden blogs from blotanical, and wanted to add my main blog… I think I mentioned… their form isn’t working right… What did Rick Perry say in his debate?

oops.

The site misplaced my first blog…and the second one as well.

I sent them another help request… I’m sure they’ll get it straightened out directly.
Edit: It sorta works now. 

In the meanwhile, what horticultural blogs are you reading?

And can anyone identify the strange fruit growing in this shrub?
