. . . today, you’re more correct than usual. Yesterday a titan arum – a huge tropical plant often referred to as the “corpse flower” – began blooming at the US Botanic Garden.
The “corpse flower” by all accounts smells like rotting flesh. It’s expected to be at “peak stench” today, and to continue blooming for a day or two.
So today, if you think you smell something foul wafting your way from DC – you just might. And this time the stench might be coming from something other than the Federal bureaucracy or lobbyists. (Smile)
Yup, the federalcracy stinks every day, no help from exotic flowers needed…
Just dab a little essence behind each ear. . . .
Who knew the botanists had such a sense of humor, I had heard they were told to find some more examples of flora that fit with the nature of the work in DC….nicely done my flowered friends, nicely done!
HONDO – trust me on this one … it ain’t the flower!
Redundant – I already heard the President’s speech.
Pretty sure most residents are just going to assume Marion Berry is on a hooker binge.
If Obama had a plant I am sure it would look like (and smell like) the corpse flower. And the Oval Office.
@6 Or Al Sharpton getting out of his hot tub.
As full of shit as politicians are, the Corpse Flower is sure to be an improvement.
Just in time for Bodaprez’s speech on jobs, and Detroit’s demise. Coincidence?
“Or Al Sharpton getting out of his hot tub.”
Thanks for giving me my daily mind-fuck…
Damnit, either the Asian stink bugs or OWS have returned to the District.
That DC stench makes it all the way out here to the Left Coast, but the Pols in Berkeley, SF, and Oakland think it’s Chanel #5.
@8. Great comment re Tawana Sharpton.
