Look what my sweetie gave her Valentine: Tulips for her Lips!
Although tulips (Tulipa gesneriana) are associated with Holland, both the flower and its name originated in the Persian Empire. The tulip is actually not a Dutch flower as many people tend to believe. The tulip, or "Laleh" as it's called in Persian, is a flower indigenous to Iran, Afghanistan, Turkey and other parts of Central Asia. The name tulip is from the Latin word “dulband,” or turban. (I'm sure that will make it a favorite in the Bush Administration!)
Using his two lips to speak out of both sides of his mouth, Presidential candidate Senator John McCain wants to have it both ways; that he's a good ol' boy conservative Republican, but yet attractive to crossover liberal Democrats. I'm not sure how he thinks that staying in Iraq for as long as it takes has that liberal appeal, nor does his displeasure with the no-gay-marriage ammendment reach out to the Limbaugh coalition. Two lips indeed!
