Warming Hearts and Minds In Copenhagen

Well, you’ve probably heard by now that we couldn’t talk Big Guy out of taking another heart breaking trip to Copenhagen. We fully expect that he will come home empty handed, but Gibbsy assured Toes that he will have talking points ready to help the supportive press see this as a historic and robust step forward no matter what.

Obama Fort Hood

TOTUS told me BO has loaded two extraordinary reads on his hard drive: one that praises Americans for electing him so that this historic deal could be reached, and one apologizing for the harm Americans have done before he was elected.

Although they had a swell time when they were here last fall,Lady M and Oprah decided to stay home this time, so that we could focus all the blame for the failure to reach a carbon deal on State Department fall-gal, Hillary. It seems she can’t get the Chinese to accept our demand for “transparency” in monitoring CO2 limit compliance. Apparently Hil has not properly clarified for the Chinese what Big Guy means by “transparency”.

I’m a little disappointed because I was really looking forward to all the snow that Al Gore arranged so that the attendees could see what it used to be like in Copenhagen before we gave the planet a fever. And, as you regulars know, we’ve assembled a stunning wardrobe of insulated outfits that would have been perfect.

From what I’ve seen so far though, the little people down on the street are not as cute or happy as the Oslots. Gibbsy says they are anarchists. Maybe it’s just me, but they look more like communists.

commiesFrankly, they scare me a little, but Big Guy says they are completely harmless. We’ve been monitoring the conference from the Big White, and it looks like everyone is having a lot of fun. Except maybe for the cops. So far my favorite part has been watching the snowball fight between the global warming “anarchists” and the capitalist ghosts who changed our climate. They’re not keeping score, but it looks like the capitalists are losing.

    You and Mo and her 22 personal attendents should be able to come up with an ensemble with those commie flags. Just to be ready for the progressive party's "coming out". You could use the US flag for a belt, to make a really big statement (no pun intended), or a little one for subtlty, if you pushed it up over her boobies.

  2. Mo and O in the photo together, once again sporting the latest in "girlfriend" fashion: matching fabric. Last time it was velvet. This time it's upholstery.

    My verification word:

    "mosista"

    I am not kidding.

  3. bettyann,
    Now how is that going to be helpful? "Progressing" from homegoods (rugs, couches, draperies, tablecloths and lampshades) to "flags of the world"? I don't think so.

    But you are right; the "sistas" do like to dress alike. I don't think there's any such thing as coincidence, do you?

    By the way, did you sell your Harley?

  4. SELL MY HARLEY!!? It may be cold in Copenhagen, but hell has not yet frozen over. The house goes back to the bank first!

    Besides, without a Harley, how is a girl supposed to cope with hot flashes?

  5. bettyann,
    Good choice - letting the house go first. I was just concerned when I saw the cute chick show up in lieu of the bikester.

  6. Indeed, as a fashion icon, you should be concerned. What would I do with all leather clothes? I mean, they just don't look right without the matching motorcycle. Get yourself a pair of Frye Harness's and see what I mean. Just don't tell Mo the source of your power surges. Something tells me she could never, ever pull off the truly ruddy and robust American look.

  7. Mmmm, Motus - interesting:

    Not a throne, but THE CHAIR for Obama in
    TV studio

    You think maybe MO will get these two chairs
    for Christmas?

    Mo will want dozens. They are just her type of flimsy oddity. She'll need dozens because the junk in that trunk is going to put a hurtin' on Mr. Wegner's masterpiece.

  9. You're right, BettyAnn...

    I found this article about The Chair:

  10. So....did we buy those chairs for the Obaminations, or did they use their own money??
    ReplyDelete
  11. Use their own money?

    There you go, BettyAnne, being silly...

  12. Well, BettyAnne -

    It seems TheChair was used at the Nixon/JFK
    debate, so.....if he brings them back, I guess
    we're paying for them....

    Here's a picture of the debate

  13. Hey MOTUS -- I caught Hill giving her speech. What was with the hair?!? It looked like she combed it with a whisk!
    ReplyDelete
  14. Breeze. Okay, I give up. The sixties spawned the bean bag, baby excriment colored carpet, burnt orange throw pillows, the lava lamp, white lipstick, my mother's venture into sexy singlhood, and dry shampoo because no one took a bath. Why would Obama want such a gaddam ugly chair?

  15. I feel so guilty for swearing. Sometimes I just can't help it. Even so, the chair still looks like something I fell through at gramma's breakfast table at age five. I don't care how old the tree is, or how much it costs because you burned 90% of a 300 year old tree sanding it and rubbing in soap for suckers in subzero weather.

    Anyway, either fabric Mo or O is wearing in that one photo would look nice on the seat pad. That's the only concession I'll make.

  16. Well, BettyAnne -

    I'm with you, I hated the Scandinavian furniture myself. My parents did their living
    room and dining room like that, it cost my dad
    a fortune too...

    In "The Won"'s case he HAS to have it to keep
    the illusion of "CAMELOT II" alive, I suppose.

    It must be awfully dreary to keep comparing
    yourself to others to keep the "myth" up and
    be a pale reflection of the original.

    Personally, at my age and in my 'insignificant'
    circumstances, I congratulate myself of having
    always been 'one of a kind'......
    ReplyDelete
  17. Breeze:
    Keep Camelot II alive with a chair nobody has ever heard of - you may have something there. Does it mean he expects to be...ass-inated? Because he is doing a great job of that all by himself.

    Regardless of your circumstances, what you need, dear, is a motorcycle..............

  19. bettyann,
    I had a pair of those Frye boots when Ron and Nancy were here, but then there was that unfortunate amputation (see my profile in the side bar) during the Clinton years. While I was refitted with feet during the Bush years, I decided to hang up my boots when George and Laura headed west.

    Breeze,
    If those chairs were good enough for the Kennedy's they might just be good enough for the O's.

  20. Dixie,
    Here's the problem: there was a raging blizzard going on at the Global Warming Conference, and unlike MO, Hil isn't fortunate enough to have an entourage of hair, nail and makeup specialists. Therefore, the climate wreaked havoc on her 'do. Yet one more reason to get global warming under control.
