To celebrate the last day of summer, Big Guy went on a picnic in the backyard of some ordinary folks in Virginia. He doesn’t really know the Brayshaw’s, who threw the picnic at the request of Big White’s chief of Obamacare Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act propaganda information.
The Brayshaw’s likewise didn’t know most of the other people who came to their picnic, since we flew them in from around the country in order to thank Big Guy face-to-face for saving their lives. They all had a personal, middle class story to tell the camera for our Big White Blog about how, without Big Guy’s Patient Bill of Rights, they’d be dead. Because that’s what we used to do in America - let poor, sick people die - until Big Guy arrived. Not to belabor the point, but, “he was the won they were waiting for.”
But the Brayshaws have a very nice, clean, ordinary-folks backyard, so they had that going for them.
Big Guy bounced down the back steps when he arrived at Paul and Frances Brayshaw’s house exclaiming “Hey, everybody! Hello, hello, hello! Good to see you.” He sounded just like Dr. Nick Riviera – who I understand just received approval to provide all the new free services that Obamacare is offering.
“ Hey, ev’ry bod ee!”
And today’s a big one for MO: she’s giving the keynote address at the Clinton Global Initiative in New York. Big Guy’s going to introduce her, since he’s going to be in New York too, telling the UN representatives what goodies they’ll be taking home in their gift bags this year.
Lady M does have a tough act to follow though: on Tuesday Hillary, our very own Secretary of State, announced a new Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves, “a broad-based, public-private initiative to provide affordable solar-powered stoves to 100 million homes around the world by 2020.”
Replacing “traditional biomass cookstoves” with solar-powered ones may not sound like one of the top 10 problems in the world, but that’s only because you take safe cooking for granted, and don’t know just how dangerous it is for women and children around the world. And, if you read all the way through (which I did so you don’t have to) you’ll discover that the time is right for solar cookstoves because of the “potential for carbon finance to fund stove initiatives” – free money! From the global warming carbon tax coffers!
I cannot even imagine how Lady M’s going to top Hillary’s speech. Maybe she’s going to give away a whole 747 full of solar-powered cookstoves to busy Mom’s in Africa. That could be very transformational, as I understand that many of them are into the raw food movement.
I think she might also be planning on doing a cooking demonstration, to show them how to fix and serve some of her favorite hors d’oeuvers – for those nights when you just don’t feel like going out.
Cooking…
and serving...don’t forget the gloves!
I might have been more inclined to announce an initiative to fight against misogynistic regimes entrenched in Muslim countries around the world first. But solar powered cookstoves are good too, and they qualify for carbon finance funds. Besides, I guess Bill and Hil don’t want to tick anyone off, in case they decide to run for president again.
After her keynote, Lady M will be checking up on all of the travel, seating and serving logistics for her farm-to-table luncheon to be held at Blue Hill at Stone Farms on Friday for the spouses of the UN delegates. Maybe she can take the opportunity to show them all how to cook bugs on a solar-powered cookstove.
Woman making tea with her new solar cookstove; it should be ready by November.

Everything old is new again. When I was a wee one at camp in Maine we did reflective cooking. It was a piece of aluminum also good for tanning in a pinch.
ReplyDeleteMOTUS, do you have any surprises for us at tonight's gala at the Museum of Natural History? Should we be looking for the missing link?
Motus, do you have any idea how I could get on the list to sponsor a backyard BBQ with Barry. I am currently located at my mom's house in a downscale suburb in Baltimore. We have been trying to sell the house for just about 2 years now, and I am thinking right under the for sale sign I could put "The Won ate here."
ReplyDeleteI'll second that ... I'd like to speak to him about health care and taxes but I don't think he'll show up at my house I dare you BO....
ReplyDeleteThe solar-powered cooker sure beats burning cow manure to cook dinner.
ReplyDeleteThat is a GREAT idea! The Obamabots will be tearing to your house to buy it with that piece of history attached.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to have one of these "free" stoves. I could cook on my apartment building's roof. Wonder if they are giving any out to Americans or just the rest of the world.
ReplyDeleteAgain...BRILLIANT, MOTUS!!
ReplyDeleteI just loooooovvve the Dr. Nick vid. I've thought of him many times, during the 'transformational' Hellcare debate.
No doubt he's got a whole new set of plastic knives and forks ready to go.
I think you're onto something with the solar-powered cookstoves!
The fact that it's a natural 'slowcooker' is just an added bonus.
Under MOO's tutelage, it will encourage people to stop eating all those pesky, fattening COOKED foods, because... well... they will faint from hunger while they're waiting. By the time they 'come to', they will be so woozy from the concussion, they'll have forgotten they're HUNGRY.
It will also help with the fat kids' program behinds because they'll have grown up and moved away by the time dinner's ready.
See? It's a 'Win / Win'!
'fat kids' behinds program'... the 'behinds' aren't behind the 'program', and neither are the kids.
ReplyDeleteI don’t know of any “official” surprises, butt I saw Raj’s “waiter-server” uniform back from the cleaners, hanging in the bunker. Also, I saw Little Mo perusing Chef Commfy’s appetizer list. Neither of those things is good.
ReplyDeleteSorry Miss Mary A, butt you’ll have to wait until after the November <span>slaughter</span> elections. Obamacare is off the talking points until then.
ReplyDeleteButt it’s like BBQ-ing over gas flames instead of charcoal, it adds less flavor.
ReplyDeleteI guess, in this case, that's good?
This batch is available only to “American” citizens of foreign countries.
ReplyDeleteI’ll admit that they are not as fast as a microwave or a magnifying glass, butt those puppies can fry most nutritious bugs PDQ.
ReplyDeleteLOL, MOTUS
ReplyDeleteThe hell with the stove I want the cook. :)
ReplyDeleteHaving a picnic in the backyard with real live Americans.
ReplyDeleteWow he is just like us.
This is going to be hard. Guess who knees belong to at UN:
ReplyDeleteI know you need some help so here is the face that goes with the knees:
ReplyDeleteExcuse my grammar.
ReplyDeleteI'd say they were MO's, but she never sits with her knees together.
ReplyDeleteOh MOTUS! This is good news! Do you think Americans who are already mostly solar can get in on this? My children built a modest (green) hill top house in the hottest part of the county (out in the boonies) and have solar panels for their 2 bedroom home and even with all the panels they have, they still need propane for their stove and fridge. On second thought, I don't know if they would have time to use the new technology though since they spend most of it on the road just getting to work...such as it is. They are thankful though for no utility bills...that would have been a real problem in a year when groceries have been #1 priority.
ReplyDeleteSolar is great though when you have enough sun. I guess that's why Baby D nixed installing panels on top of the roof of Big White (a petition from the Greenies)...well, that (a lot of snow there in Winter) and the fact that they would quickly need to switch to the African Raw Food Diet when their panels run out of sun power.
Another pretty face. Could she look more excited to be there? Has she got a hip flask hidden in her handbag?
ReplyDeleteCase in point:
ReplyDeleteThe nerve of the Asian woman making MOO's legs look so huge:
ReplyDelete<span>She looks like she is dressed for the backyard BBQ. Is she still wearing the pink shoes?</span>
ReplyDeleteBTW, Isreal didn't show up for BO's UN speech.
ReplyDeleteMy husband says BO is a prissy pussy walker when he minces down the stairs of AFi. I just think we are all screwed whenever BO says or does anything.
ReplyDeleteShe's saving herself for the big gala tonight at the Museum of Natural Historic Amazons.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't help it. Forgive me. I up-dinged my own comment. ;)
ReplyDeleteHow did the white kid sneak in?
ReplyDeleteIt's the holiday Sukkat but I'm pretty sure that wouldn't keep you home. Good on them.
ReplyDeleteHe thinks he's a GQ model when he bounces up or down stairs with his elbows clutched at his ribs. He's going to have to have that turkey waddle taken care of if he wants to model after the WH. And, Baby D, anorexic male models usually don't do as well as the female species.
ReplyDeleteChadors are less likely to catch fire if solar-power cookers are used.
ReplyDeleteAlso, if India started to use solar power cookers, it would be harder to get away with bride burning.
On the minus side, Michelle Obama is probably pretty ticked off about Hillary Clinton's solar cooking give-away. Forgetting for one moment that she hated Oprah, Michelle got all het up: "Who does Hillary think she is, Oprah Winfrey?" As if Oprah has cornered the market on giving things away.
Maybe what Michelle really wants is her own talk show. She probably thinks she could out-Oprah Oprah. Michelle could have her own magazine "M" and her own media conglomerate. At least, that's what she wishes she had.
From there, she could run for president.
Think I'm kidding? I'm not.
Is it possible for a human being to look more bored?
ReplyDeleteWhen's cocktail hour?
Seems there's someone close sabotaging her initiative:
ReplyDelete"Not only did the initiative not meet the target, Gallup says the veggie and fruit consumption numbers have actually been declining in the last two years, which coincides with one of the country's worst economic downturns in decades. This time frame also happens to coincide with the Democratic administration of Michelle Obama's husband, who not only loves junk food but smokes cigarettes
I love this picture that was embedded in the article:
I think he tries to look macho and super fit. The same thing when he jogs into a room. He just looks like a poseur to me.
ReplyDeleteI don't think the conservatives who are now writing bios of Barry will ever understand the real man until they come to the realization that he's gay. We are too politically correct for that to ever happen.
Great one Granny Jan. I think his hands were even floppier at the beginning of his term but someone must have told him to look more manly while descending the stairs!
ReplyDeleteI have a collection of photos of him with limp wrists. I've never even seen a woman or 99.9% of men with them.
ReplyDeleteMichelle doesn't want to either. Every time you see her, she's eating ice cream or ribs. And she always assures us that her favorite foods are french fries and pie.
ReplyDeleteAnd...well....just LOOK at her.... dude, she just doesn't want to eat right.
Isn't there a czar to enforce the holding of hand rails while going down stairs? Or does it fall under Kathleen Sebelius's Health & Human Services huge umbrella?
ReplyDeleteMaybe MO could tack that rule on to the end of her fruity veggie bill.
Well, being the First Lady is hell, you know.
ReplyDeleteWow. Isn't it great that we have so much extra money just laying around in this country that we can afford to buy stoves for people around the world. You know, if we'd been irresponsible and run up a huge national debt, we wouldn't be able to afford such a nice gesture. oh, wait.....
ReplyDeleteI think it's a semi-important holiday, enough so to stay home if you're Orthodox.
ReplyDeleteYou know that's funny. We've elected a total stranger who's African American, probably Muslim, definitely Marx-inspired, firends with a domestic terrorist, maybe not even born in the US. But it's too much for him to admit he's gay? LOL!
ReplyDeleteWhich is another reason I love Chris Christie (gov. of NJ). Not only is he an almost perfect conservative, he's fat. And there's no hypocrisy because he doesn't make an issue about what people eat. Guaranteed to give liberals the vapors.
ReplyDeleteI love this one, the babies and the music are terrific.
ReplyDeleteGood job!
He looks disgusting, as usual, In my household we only refer to him by "cockroach."
ReplyDeleteCan you image what admitting that would do to the black vote? I doubt he'll ever be outed either. It would have happened already.
ReplyDeleteHis whole life is a charade. I bet he doesn't even know who he is anymore. Unless he is some super human, it's got to cause him a great deal of stress, too.
And here's this dress doing a "where's Waldo?" under tons of stuff on the runway of designer Peter Som.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.style.com/slideshows/2010/fashionshows/F2010RTW/PSOM/RUNWAY/00150m.jpg
On Moochelle it looks as though she wasn't invited to BO's backyard small person talk so she said "the h*** with him!" and wore it to the UN General Assembly for his speech.
That'll show him.
She doesn't look v. happy to be there, though.
Also from that article (Andrew Malcolm is terrific!):
ReplyDeleteWell, it's a vast interlocking corporate consortium of those evil special interests we hear so much about, consisting of the Banana Growers of America, the Carrot Council, Lettuce Lovers Institute, Bean Assn., Tasty Tomato Promotion Organization, the Cauliflower Cabal, Summer Squash Syndicate, Orange Optimization Operators, French Fry Fatwa Faculty, Cheeseburger Criminalization Board and the International Brotherhood of Grocery Store Produce Stackers, Local 1502.
Nah, just kidding.
Video of Obie's Auntie Zeituni - plus a bonus video below it.
ReplyDeleteShe is really a piece of work:
http://dailycaller.com/2010/09/22/more-from-auntie-zeituni/
It takes a big picnic basket to hold those lobsters.
ReplyDeleteThat's because they know he's just an empty suit.
ReplyDelete*ouch*
ReplyDelete;)
Flip Wilson, one of my old favorites. That's naughty. :)
ReplyDeleteHere I thought MO's wide leg stance was bad. But seriously, can she spread her legs and wider? Quick, hide her from the children. She is really one digusting human being!
ReplyDeleteShe looks either extremely drowsy or a little 'dope'y. And definitely bored out of her mind.
ReplyDeleteMO might have her knees together (finally!) but why is her dress hiked so far up her greasy thunder thighs? Not sure, but the dress could be too tight; notice the way it bunches up around her tummy area. Inappropriate in every way. But that could be caption of almost any of MO's looks.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the deal with BO holding all these meetings in people's backyards?
ReplyDeleteI certainly don't want him in MY backyard unless the only alternative is having him inside the house.
Bill Clinton was farmed out to rural America during the presidential campaign. He came to our town (pop. 4,500) and stood on the porch of my neighbor and blah blah blah'd. About 100 people showed up. I was not one of them.
ReplyDeleteAt the time, they were sending him to small towns because he was a loose cannon and they just wanted to keep him busy.
I wonder if that is the current strategy.......just sayin'
I wouldn't not walk across my patio to see this president!
For once I can relate to her; I'd have that kind of expression on my face if I had to sit through anything at the UN.
ReplyDeleteI would, however, wear hosiery and a skirt that covered my knees when I sat.
Here's the dress MOO wore today at the UN from Peter Som's 2010 collection. When you see it you can understand why she couldn't resist. She definitely needed one more print dress. She only had 30 of them:
ReplyDeleteThe missing link! HaHaHa. Just where is the greaseball anyway?
ReplyDeleteSorry Madame, this giveaway is only for "Americans" who are citizens of other countries we victimized before Obama.
ReplyDeleteNice reflection. Are you a mirror?
ReplyDeleteI’m not supposed to reveal this, butt it’s not a national security secret or a violation of my oath of office, so, what Big Guy does is play his own “air drum” roll entrance...in his head. He thinks it’s more dramatic and befitting the leader of the world...MO told him to stop it, butt he won’t.
ReplyDeleteLove the video GrannyJ!
Perhaps he could just "test the waters" and let it slip out that he's "Bi curious"...considering his "wife", I think most would understand a proclivity to look elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteLove it, GJ. This is one of the first revoltin' habits I noticed from Baby. That view from the rear, going up the AFOne stairs, really shows how loose his jackets have become.
ReplyDeleteAndrew Malcolm isn't overweight is he? This is his second attack on The First Fat Ass. Go Andy!
ReplyDeleteI guess we know now where FFA found the pink shoes! When will we see the pink pocketbook?
ReplyDeleteFlip would definitely have a career re-birth if he were still with us today.
Me too, I loved Flip Wilson.
ReplyDeleteIt's more cheesy photo ops. Who do they think they're fooling with this show.
ReplyDeleteEspecially LOVED the toddlers!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sick of Barky and Moo...the way they both walk!
Good work.
ReplyDeleteThis is a Getty photo of MOO from today. I hear that the photographer has gone into the witness protection program:
ReplyDeleteIt always reminds me of horse riding.
ReplyDeleteOMG! What IS she wearing?
ReplyDeleteUgh. The First Crotch.
ReplyDeleteExactly. It impresses the same people who voted for him in the first place.
ReplyDeleteShe's wearing her butt...butt it's hard to explain. I'm sure MOTUS will tell us what happened.
ReplyDeleteSo it looks like he drew a SRO crowd. Otherwise he'd be in an empty gymnasium.
ReplyDeletePity the photographer; after all, consider the material he/she had to work with.
ReplyDeleteThe designer of that dress is the one who should go into hiding.
Is he still on message MOTUS after being heckled?
ReplyDeleteShe's worn it before but we never got a butt view.
ReplyDelete1. OMG! Huge butt shot.
ReplyDelete2. They always have to kiss in public now. It's all about increasing his numbers.
3. Clinton can't even look at them as they get close to their kiss. It must gag him too.

ReplyDeleteThanks Anonymouse! Loved that shot and didn't know how to post it. Can you FEEL the love?
ReplyDeleteToken
ReplyDeleteCan you feel the love.
ReplyDeleteAndrew is one of ours. Read his bio blurb under bloggers on that webpage (Top of the Ticket, Los Angeles Times). Was once Laura Bush's press secretary. Wicked satirical sense...a delight to read.
ReplyDeleteAll those people in Berlin turned out to be tourists!
ReplyDeleteShe must have promised to let him live if he did his worshipful soliloquoy in front of the Clintons. Gag.
ReplyDeleteShe's wearing her butt! Granny, you are BRUTAL!
ReplyDeleteOh, Serendipity, that pose is so wrong on so many levels. Squatting in front of cameras as First Lardy! Aaack!
ReplyDeleteAnother photo of him sucking on...um...something.
ReplyDeleteAngling for a Cialis ad?
ReplyDelete"When that moment strikes, will you be ready?"
http://www.daylife.com/photo/09t2dCa5z60Lo
Oh my. This whole day has been one disaster after another for FLINO (first lady in name only). First, it turns out nobody else was wearing floral shmattas to the UN event. Who knew?
ReplyDeleteAlso, everybody seated around her was small and thin. And appropriately dressed. Michelle was already fuming before Barky's boring, trite speech, which she had to pretend to be interested in. Then, Hillary Clinton totally outdid her with the cooking stoves bit. Damn! Why Didn't Mooch think of that? Cooking...people need stoves to cook on...I guess they can't order out or hire a chef....
OK, the fat kids are out. Someone has splained to Moo that in the developing world, fat kids are not the biggest problem. Again, who knew? There are whole countries in Africa that are one big food desert. So, nix the fat kids. That means we have to go with Military families, because that's our other big cause.
Barky intros Moo with a speech so smarmy that even Bill Clinton is embarrassed. Moo delivers truly lame speech about military families -- how, even though they're hopelessly screwed up and in need of Moo's help and gummint programs, they're also exactly what we need for international meals on wheels.
But I'm transfixed by the awfulness of this dress. It's kind of a shower curtain-bathmat combo that only Moo could seriously consider wearing. I suspect that she asked Barky "Does this make my butt look big" and he responded candidly.
Seriously, I thought these were photoshops.
And, best of all, we're not done! There's some of big formal shindig tonite at the Museum of Natural History -- meaning backfat, non-cleavage, non matching shoes, extravagant wighat, jewelry made out of bones & fossils, etc. Bring it!
Bloody Hell!! I honestly thought we'd never see this horror again.
ReplyDeletePoor MOTUS...it's just not fair. People must think she's on strike!
Yes, this one is another recycled number. MOO's done quite a bit of that lately. I guess she's trying to show that she's really just a frugal hausfrau, helping balance the family budget, like...oh, I don't know... Lucy Ricardo.
Butt...not only did she wear this before... the skirt part was re-recycled! Yep...it used to be a CHAIR!
How's that for resourceful? MO is setting such an example.
When she gets back from campaigning next month, I think she should take another vacay.
That was inspirational and quite moving. Excuse me while I go to the ladies room. Seriously, that was brilliant writing. Too bad, it's late and not too many will partake of your wit.
ReplyDeleteBTW, photoshops would never be that brutal. She wore that dress for Mother's Day at the WH and I remember a non-flattering side view butt nothing this bad. I think she lassoed it up with some kind of belt that did the damage. MOTUS has some splaining to do.
Snark award nomination! LOL!
ReplyDeleteYes, but Obots won't actually want to pay forkarrie. They'd likely demand forkarrie to donate the house due to its' newfound historic status. More likely, the state would confiscate it based on said status. Don't do it, forkarrie.
ReplyDeleteI think it was before the speech.
ReplyDeleteGeraldine had way better legs. Miss Flip!
ReplyDeleteAh gee, I thought I'd never have to see that photo of MOO showing us her hoochie coochie again.
ReplyDeleteHe's trhinking she not even cigar worthy.
ReplyDeleteGranny Jan! I think I just awakened my husband chortling!!
ReplyDelete"She's wearing her butt." HAH!!
She also got into Granny's rag bag for fabric to make that dress.
(Not our Granny Jan's RagBag! Some other granny...some decidedly less cool granny) ;)
Hey, is that a bit of bloody chicken feather I see hanging off the hem....
You guys are getting me in trouble here tonight! People are trying to sleep and you've found my snarky-bone. Laughing 'till the tears run down. Thank you, thank you. I needed this.
ReplyDeleteShe still doesn't have her knees together. Imagine if the guy in front of her (to the lower left, from our point of view) turned around to glimpse the magnificent MO. What would he see??
ReplyDeleteI'd ask for separate bathtubs outside, too. With a nice view...

Yes, pwitter, lovely writing. Glad to let you know that I'm later than everyone, being in India, and really enjoyed your post.
ReplyDeleteWearing her butt, just like she wears her wighats?
ReplyDeleteWhat is this? A commercial business agreeing to not do business for 3 hours? In what way does this make sense?
ReplyDeleteWhat is this? A commercial business agreeing to not do business for 3 hours? In what way does this make sense?
ReplyDeleteThe woman seems to gravitate to clothing that emphasizes her very ample backside. I think my old anthropology professor used to call it steoptopygia. MOO definitely has the condition. and seems to relish showing the world.
ReplyDeleteIf that poor short lady in the picture has to reach up to get the boiling kettle, she may get burned...Not safe for use.
ReplyDeleteAnnona, Wanna take a guess?
ReplyDeleteHow would that thing-a-ma-bob work in deep snow like we have here....?
ReplyDeleteOnly for sub-saharan use, you say?
I notice the ladies on either side of Mo are actually listening to the translations...

<span>"Butt...not only did she wear this before... the skirt part was re-recycled! Yep...it used to be a CHAIR!"</span>
