Gigantic Metaphor Blooms in DC



Locals: Head to the US Botanic Gardens today if you can, because it's probably your last chance to see their "corpse flower" in bloom. I think it's funny that USA Today has their story filed under "Washington/Politics".

Now, metaphorically, it would have been better to depict the flower giving birth to Dick Cheney, but considering Bush's delightful nickname for Karl Rove, "turd blossom", the choice was clear.

But seriously... I've seen one of these monsters, and it really is a disgusting, wonderful experience. People puke at their aromatic majesty! Don't miss it!
