I thought you might enjoy Dewey’s new video which explores some unusual similarities between Big Guy and Jimmy Carter – the former President previously known as the “Worst President Ever.”
I helped him out a little on this one, and even got a credit for “technical support!” I didn’t do that much, really, butt I think it raised this otherwise boring political documentary to the level of an “art” film.
See what you think:
You can find more amazing coincidences between Big Guy and Jimmy Carter over on Dewey.
What’s that? You say there’s no such thing as coincidence? Only the illusion of coincidence?
I can’t say for sure, I didn’t see the movie.

Fear the coincidences!
ReplyDeleteThe problem with the Carter presidency was that we elected MrCarter instead of MrsCarter.
ReplyDeleteThis has to be the most creative blog on the IT. Congrats to you and Dewey!
ReplyDeleteRoslyn wasn't to hot on fashions either.
ReplyDeleteHa! I turned 18 in 1976 and it was my first time voting. I voted for Carter! So chock up "voter regret" as another coincidence. By 1978, as young as I was, I looked around and noted that every other store front was boarded up! So there's another one - empty stores.

ReplyDeleteSee "instant MEGO" (My Eyes Glaze Over) re: government accounting practices but useful for other areas of life and government.
"Once is interesting. Twice is coincidence. The third time; sound general quarters."
ReplyDeleteHelp me out if you know what famous General said that.
You can take the Welcome Back Carter (Kotter) bit EVEN further...
ReplyDeleteEpstein = Rahmy 'Toes' Emmanuel
Arnold HORshak = Turbo Timmah Geitner
That Random Skinny Black Guy, who played HS BBall = Barry Soetaro
Mr. Woodman (the old 'white guy' all controlling Principal) = Soros
VernaJean (the all knowing AfAm chic) = Val JayJayJarrett
Vinnie Barbarino...this won is difficult, as there is NO good looking, 'enforcer type' alpha male in either the Carter or OweBama camps.
And lastly...well, as both Mrs. Carter and Mrs. Kotter were skinny bee-yotches (who dressed frumpily but were well covered at all times) I see no Me!chelle linky there...
CR, I know that phrase as 'Once is interesting, twice is coincidence, the third time is enemy action.'
ReplyDeleteAnd its from Ian Fleming...I know it as a Auric Goldfinger quote :)
Maybe Fleming co-opted it from a military type.
Charming Richard's version has been cited as a Navy expression, but I couldn't find a source.
ReplyDelete....except for both having married dorks.
ReplyDeleteButt Roslyn didn't set herself up to be a fashion icon. If MOO were just doing "normal person" in the White House, then she could wear her tablecloth dresses, her boob belts, or anything else and I would give her no grief.
ReplyDeleteI've said this before. Carter was the first worst president ever. However, I do believe he loves his country. And this man really sacrifices - building those homes for humanity. Do you picture these two gluttons for everything posh, EVER lifting a finger or sending a dollar to help out anyone? I do not see an iota of humanity in either one of them - cold as ice.
ReplyDelete**OT - the McLobster is coming to McDonald's. They've had it for years in New England, but there is a glut of Maine lobster due to gorebull warming colder-than-usual water. I think they should rename it the MoochLobster. So gas is going to 4 plus a gallon - same for a loaf of bread, but now the litlle people can eat lobster like the Wons.
He shoots. He SCORES!!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome job, Dewey and full credit to MOTUS for the 'assist'.
Excellent vid!!
Jimmah must be thrilled to be losing his 'title'...especially to such a deserving challenger.
Excuse me...have to go find some Gravol. Erp!
MOTUS, you should see the movie. Another movie based on a graphic novel, by the way! In the movie, the government is right wing (of course!) but many of the ideas are applicable to our own day and time. And Hugo Weaving is fantastic. You never see his face, and yet he is extraordinarily eloquent with his body language and voice. And it has Stephen Fry in it!
ReplyDeleteSometimes I wonder how much MO actually likes lobster, or if she just eats it because it's typically the most expensive item on the menu.
ReplyDeleteHeh. I just saw the episode of "The Simpsons" where Moe gets a girlfriend and takes her out to a posh restaurant and requests the finest item on the menu, stuffed with the second finest. The waiter says, "Excellent, sir. Lobster stuffed with tacos." Later, you see the remains of the plate, and the lobster is wearing a tiny sombrero.
I couldn't find anything other than Fleming either, but I did find a good source for quotable quotes
ReplyDeletehttp://www.cs.virginia.edu/~robins/quotes.html
Here's a good one from an unlikely source:
ReplyDelete"Give me chastity and continence, but not yet." - Saint Augustine (354-430)
Really fantastic! Deserves an award.
ReplyDeleteI agree - a terrific and disturbing movie. When it was out, both liberals and conservatives accused it of being propaganda from the other side. Butt what it portrays as a problem is big government that smothers anything and everything. Doesn't make any difference where it comes from politically, goveernment's main duty is to itself, to stay in power. That's why the Constitution was careful to set the checks and balances that our alleged president-who-wants-to-be-dictator barry is doing everything he can to destroy.
ReplyDeleteAll the coincidences (and we have enough warning now that we should be at general quarters) point to barry doing everything possible to set up a mammoth government to cover by decree every aspect of our lives. It really is a good thing that barry is so incredibly incompetent or we would be even worse off.
That's why I worry about Hilary getting to be POTUS. She is as much or more a socialist lefty as barry, butt she and Bill know how the levers of power work in DC and how to manipulate the media even better than barry does. ("I feel your pain" - what a load of . . .) Butt for now, Soros seems to be doubling down with barry until or unless there comes the big barry scandal that has only been misty rumor for so long. If a barry scandal does break, watch the big money flee to find a new puppet.
I asked a left leaning friend (yes I have some) what she thought freedom meant. She said it meant she could order any kind of coffee she wanted from Starbucks. That is both sad and frightening, that someone approaching her sixth decade has such a flawed belief system and such little understanding of the concept of freedom and government. And she is not the typical drooling brain-dead lefty at a demonstration, she is an otherwise smart and successful mid-level manager who has built a good life for herself - although I can easily embarrass her when I ask how her success in a capitalist business would be better in a socialist system. She never answers those questions because she can't.
Superb video, MOTUS & Dewey. Really loved the article at Dewey's too.
ReplyDeleteBeing BO's defender and his biggest fan Carter may not feel too bad giving up his well deserved title "Worst President Ever' to his protege.
Barry on the other hand must be quite peeved that from comparisons to the likes of Lincoln (yeah, right!) and FDR (he wishes, especially the numerous terms) is now reduced to being compared to Carter:

Sure, the elected class acts like rules don't apply to them. Sebelius just admitted glibly that their much touted Medicare savings were actually double counted:

It is called cooking the books and in the corporate setting heads would have rolled and prision terms wouldn't be out of the question. But those supposed to be representatives and servants of the people lie, manipulate and are incorrigibly corrupt with impunity.
Pink F, I was reading your story of the left-leaning friend, and I actually liked her answer. It is simplistic, but illustrates what is really great about this country. We can order any type of coffee from Starbucks, or we can go to McDonald's, or we can make it at home. We cam drink tea if we don't like coffee. We have choices in this country. And, if you don't like the choices in a particular city/state, you can move to another city/state. We can choose which blogs to go to, which news to watch, which magazines to read.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, she may have just been pulling your strings, by giving what she knew you would perceive as a trite answer.
Noelle - funny visual. Actually, we have a chain here called Rubio's - it was the first place in America to serve the fish taco. Fish tacos are famous in Ensenada, Mexico where we could eat and drink cheap while in college (too dangerous now). When in season, Rubio's have lobster tacos - they are really made with langostinos but have the same texture.
ReplyDeleteDo you picture these two....EVER lifting a finger...to help out anyone?
ReplyDeleteOnly when there are cameras around. And in MO's case flaunting $500 sneakers.
dh's late step mother lived in Savannah Ga. She said the best thing about Carter's election to the WH was that it 'got him out of Ga.'
ReplyDeleteMore importantly, did Carter ever brew beer at the WH? Here's to the first (unprecedented) brewer in chief!
ReplyDeleteCan we look forward to more beer summits with the likes of Qaddafi or just more keg parties with "his people" a la RickyH?
Well...remember Billy Beer?
ReplyDeleteBingo! I don't think Carter sports his Kenneth Cole boots while pounding nails.
ReplyDeleteMOTUS, loved the video -- it's pure genius. I keep waiting for Big Guy to give his version of Jimmuh's malaise speech. Sometimes I think he's more than halfway there. After all, MO has already told us, through her "Leave No Fat Kid
ReplyDeleteBehind" initiative, that we're all just a lazy, fat and stupid bunch of people.
John, Give him time, he's getting there. Gas prices are "necessarily skyrocketing" as we speak, thanks to his moratorium (among other things). BTW, how high would it have to go before the LSM starts talking about it? Hopefully Carter II will out of the WH before there are lines at gas stations.
ReplyDeleteCarter, however, had some redeeming qualities; practicing what he preached. Can you even imagine BO in a cardigan sweater? Oh no, he tells us to set our thermostats lower while cranking up the heat at the Big White and parties on while advising us to have some skin in the game.
Just like Lincoln...
ReplyDeleteIt's to be a honey ale like his Irish ancestors made in Ireland...He's such a blank slate, he can be anything., but
ReplyDeleteif he's Irish, here's my salute to him:
May the curse of Mary Malone and her nine blind illegitimate children chase you so far over the hills of Damnation that the Lord himself can't find you with a telescope.
Maybe he can use some of MO's White Hut honey in the makings.
ReplyDeletesowsear, Per the Obama Foodorama site, they do:
ReplyDeletehttp://obamafoodorama.blogspot.com/2011/03/obamas-make-history-with-homebrewed.html
I'm reading a biography of Dolley Madison. What a different world she lived in. People felt the importance of being Americans and the responsibility of nurturing our nation.
ReplyDeleteNo more. Now they want to be the center of attention and praised for abilities they don't have.
Of course he's Irish. It's March. Next month, he'll be something else.
ReplyDeleteHey, I still havea bottle of that..somewhere..maybe worse than it originally was.
ReplyDeleteWell O'Bambi's Irish ale will probably be skunky to start out with..in honor of its brewer. (Not that I believe he can brew anything but trouble).
He'll be the First April Fool!(FAFOTUS)
ReplyDeleteO/T - The WH has announced the date of the Easter Egg Roll, April 25 and the theme: 'Get Up and Go!'
ReplyDeleteI guess after the 'Winning the Future' (WTF) 2012 reelection slogan nothing should surprises us.
BTW, I really love the WTF Theater videos, MOTUS. They remind me a little of Gutfeld's Robot Theater.
I mean, 'surprise' us.
ReplyDeleteThat's what the iron butterfly thought also .ShE ACTUALLY attended cabinet meetings and started the ever expanding office of flotus ! If you want to see the original ms snippy face google some of her expressions at Regan's funeral .Reagan saved the free world and all jimmah did was get credit for building crappy houses that other people donated for the pr .
ReplyDeleteNONONONONONONONONONONO!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhen does that SONOFABITCH go to WORK??!!??!!
OMG. I'm going to kill myself. She is wearing China blue, again, with big bows sticking out of the front of an unevenly buttoned lavender sweater!!!!
And there they are gazing down into tankards of honey ale - a pagan, druidic, barbaric drink of Europe - which I happen to like, mind - like a couple of fucking IDIOTS!! AMAZING THEMSELVES!!!
Excuse me while I go lose a really great glass of wine and some lemon risotto that took me all afternoon to cook.
Speaking of being the center of attention, The Won showed up in Florida, with Jeb Bush as stage prop, to promote federal funding for education (translated: "federal control of education". Here's a great shot for his scrapbook:

And this one: "They like me; they really really like me!"

Obamas need to Get Up and Go BACK TO CHICAGO.
ReplyDeletePoseurs, grifters.
Barry did install some blue, ruffled curtains for a photo op.
ReplyDeleteAnother Nobel Prize in the making?
Barry Beer! LOL I've seen that name used. Socialist Suds: another funny beer name I saw.
ReplyDeleteLet me add a few of my own: Commie-Lite, Loser Lager
Motus should have a contest to design the label and name Obama's beer.
Actually, it's probably the most productive thing Barry does at Big White.
I AM GOING TO SCREAM A BIT!
ReplyDeleteSHOULDN'T THE WONS BE PROMOTING AMERICAN BREWERIES DURING THESE DIRE ECONOMIC STRAITS IN WHICH THEY HAVE PLACED US?
Okay, I'll stop screaming. Sorry, just boiling mad.
And as for the 'housemade ricotta,' let's call a spade a spade: Anybody can do this in their kitchen with some milk, a pan and a sieve.
Heck, Ma Ingalls was doing it out on the prairie all those years ago. No doubt, she could have brewed some beer also, had she approved, which she didn't. RiCOTTA is Italian COTTAGE CHEESE. MA0, ever wonder why cottage cheese is called cottage cheese? Because it was made in everyone's cottages (homes).
Jules - although many have mentioned that foodorama site, this is the first, and last time I will ever visit. What a puke fest. They are crediting the Won with practically inventing beer. Funny - they said that Jefferson depleted much of his PERSONAL wealth buying wine. These grifters are deleting our personal wealth buying everything they can get their grubby little paws on. Maybe he'll be marketing this beer while on his Mid East speaking $$$$ tour?
ReplyDeleteJules - here in So Cal at Costco - cheapest gas - there are huge lines. It took Mr. Cal a half hour yesterday to fill up. We are very close to $4.00 a gallon. And that as*hat is defying a court order to lift the moratorium on drilling in the gulf. HE MUST GO.
ReplyDeleteAnd Al Gore invented the internet. Goerge Bush inherited humility.
ReplyDeleteUnSkinnyMinnie, that reminds me of when Papa John's Pizza was bragging about having "baby portabella mushrooms." Portabella mushrooms are just brown mushrooms that have been allowed to grow to really big sizes. So baby portabella mushrooms would be...brown mushrooms.
