KUDZU

[DenaliDemocrat]

In honor of my 33rd birthday, I have decided heretofore to refer to our commander in theif as KUDZU!

I thought long and hard on this issue, and have decided that this is the correct plant to associate with the man. I know others here have called him SHRUB, which is fitting due to his diminutive stature, but since many people actually WANT SHRUBS, I have decided that this moniger is not appropriate.

I then considered weed, but that was obviously not good. Many a college student has gotten through mid terms, gotten laid, or just had a ripping ass good time thanks to WEED. Alas...weed is not appropriate.

I then thought about TUMBLEWEED, the scourge of the west. It seemed fitting until I realized that TUMBLEWEEDS while a nuisance (I grew up on a ranch) were actually from the WEST and indeed had some nostalgic Americana type value. After all, Marty Robbins sang about them...they can't be all bad.

So, in conclusion, I decided to call our prez KUDZU. It is a noxious weed that grows in the east, it is not welcome, it chockes out all beauty and covers it with it's own monoclture. It is invasive and nearly impossible to eradicate by legal means.

So let it be known, that from here on out, I shall only refer to our president as KUDZU!!!!!!!!!!!!

2. Kudzu is cool

I saw some growing in Denver last year. It's creeping into dessert climates. Nature's perfect shrub.

6. In my condo complex, right smack in the center of Denver

Granted, it was only a few vines. I watched it grow and quadruple in quantity during the summer.

3. Sis and I saw Kudzu completely envelop a 'for sale' house

in Montgomery, AL, about 22 years ago... it took less that 2 weeks. It was a decent middle class home - but a bit remote. No one paid attn to it until the Kudzu had engulfed it.

There was a crew that cleared it off eventually...


Kudzu works for me.
