Digging Our Way to Prosperity

Might I recommend that those of you in the running for the 2nd Snark Attack of the Week Award – or anyone planning to vote - visit Mrs. P’s post at Patum and Peperium? After her gracious acceptance speech, she has also graciously acknowledged the not insignificant role of her second grade teacher in her achievement.

Mrs. P has truly raised the bar in the mini-genre of award acceptances. And that’s just refreshing, accustomed as we are to a culture ever inclined to keep moving the bar down - even if it requires digging a big hole.

    MICHELLE OBAMA'S BAD BEHAVIOR

    What bad things has Michelle Obama done? What bad things has Michelle Obama said?

    There’s a project we’re working on that you’ll all like very much, but we need some help with. We need to compile a list of the bad things Michelle Obama has done in her lifetime: things she’s said, like the “proud of my country for the first time in my adult life line” or the “I can’t even buy earrings for $600 bit”, to rude things she’s done like give the Queen of England an Ipod and the Prime Minister of Great Britain toy helicopters from the White House gift shop. There’s also her most recent bit of wisdom, spoken during the December 13th Oprah Christmas Special for Obamamas, in which she asked, “What are you getting me? You should feel pressure”. Apparently, that’s what she thinks the meaning of Christmas is.

    Have you seen a list of any similar quotes from her?

    We want to find exact quotes, dates, and other instances of bad behavior. We need about 50 of them total to complete a very special project.

    Your help in listing them on this thread would be greatly appreciated.

    Anything counts — from her childhood, college days, life in Chicago, the campaign, and now the White House.

    The gift M’chelle gave Laura Bush on inauguration day was a journal/pen set. The pen had a date engraved on it..January 20th, 2009.

    Yes. She gave Laura Bush a pen with OBAMA’S inauguration date on it.

    Classy.

    Laura Bush had a chair (or two)that were on loan to her from a friend and she had the same chair copied and gave that to MO as a present because she (Laura) liked those chairs so much. She even said that she hoped she liked the chair and that she used it.

    It is probably at Goodwill now.

    Nope, no joke. I heard about it at the time, and now it looks like the story has been scrubbed. I found some references in people’s comments, but the stories are gone.

  3. Looks like TheOne handles an ax just about the way he threw a baseball at the ballgame -- just like a girlyboy!

    Look at that photo! He's in dress shoes, black socks and dress slacks, squatting down to chop down with the ax..... and he's wearing GLOVES! Like one or four dainty little chops would cause blisters on his pearly hands!

  5. Love the photos. Quite a collection of gaping holes.

  6. Lovely, lovely video Granny Jan. I just wish someone had combed down her weave in the back. It looks like an octopus has lodged itself in the back of her head.

  7. Breeze,
    Those Hillbuzz boys are just mean. I love them.

    Cricket,
    To be fair, this is physical labor. Waaaa-y above Big Guy's pay grade.

    GrannyJ
    You're nearly as mean as the Hillbuzz boys.
    I told you she was a good reader, not a good actress.

    Chiron,
    You ought to see the ones I left out.

    bettyane,
    Is everyone here today as mean as the HBB? Geeze! It's almost Christmas.

  8. Alright, that was mean.

    It isn't an octopus. It's snakes. Nice snakes, but just the same, snakes.

    There was once a lovely lady who had to cope with the exact same problem. Her bad hair days so frightned the neighbors, turning kids, the mailman, the pizza delivery guy, into stone that they finally took up a collection and sent the water-meter reader in to cut off her head. The end.

  9. BTW, a very Merry Christmas to everyone, and God bless us every one.

    Don't forget to finish off your martinae. Waste not!

  10. Breeze,
    We're drinking only Sea Breezes and Mai Tais here on the Big Island, but those of you stuck back on the mainland: double martinis and manhattans all around!
