Today’s Big White, Brought to you by the NEA.

Linked by Big Fur Hat (no relation to Cat in the Hat) at iOTW! Thanks! And Welcome iOTW readers. Please feel free to visit early and often.

Yesterday was a very big day.

First, we had our annual celebration of Dr. Seuss’ birthday at the Library of Congress, organized by the National Education Association (NEA). The event also served as the kick off of the NEA’s annual "Read Across America Day." In honor of the event, Lady M play-acted her way through “Green Eggs and Ham,” which is really a story about a racist who’s unwilling to give green eggs a chance.

For the occasion we chose a Marc Jacobs pin-pleated tomato-red skirt with a built in cummerbund. Hot!

610x

A dress change later, we honored the winners of the 2010 National Medal of Arts and National Humanities Medal, organized by the other NEA, the National Endowment of the Arts.

A huge disappointment though, Meryl was busy in London and unable to attend our tea. And frankly, the rest of the recipients weren’t much to look at, unless you find aging hippies attractive.

Author Joyce Carol Oates,pianist Van Cliburn, author Philip Roth, poet Donald Hall and jazz musician Sonny Rollins receive the Medal of Honor.

Thank goodness Lady M was there to add a little sparkle in this rerun Michael Kors teal silk matelasse dress, that showcases her famously toned arms.

Everyone had a wonderful time, and all of the recipients took home a really big medal. And James Taylor won the grand prize: a chance to play Press Secretary for the day:

The occasion of Dr. Seuss’ birthday reminded me that we haven’t had a proper Seussical around here since last August’s Evil Uncle Sam  performance of Kono’s (IOTW) and Don Fredrick’s wonderful rendition of Dr. Seuss for patriots. So in homage to the old socialist’s 107th, and as a nod to our National Arts Day, I thought I’d pen a few lines of doggerel to add to the never-ending story of “I Do Not Like This Uncle Sam.”

I do not like this Uncle Sam

This Sam who doesn’t give a damn.

 

I do not like his Eric Holder

who’s got a chip upon his shoulder.

 

His Back Panther pals I cannot abide,

their voter crimes he just set aside.

 

I do not like those pipe wielding thugs

as slimy as your garden slugs.

 

No, indeed, I don’t like that Holder

his racist charges, they make me smolder.

 

He gets upset if we dis “his people”

so just shut up, be good little sheeple.

Feel free to add your own lines on current events for addition to Uncle Sam’s garden of verses. From the Big White, this is your would-be poet-laureate, signing off.

Oh, and by the way, yesterday was brought to you entirely by the NEA and the other NEA, both of which are funded by… you! One way or another. Thanks, American Taxpayer!

    This is a twofer for MAO (via her fruit minions), as this school is practically adjacent to a major AFB, you know, helping out the military families with their nutrition needs.

    Butt if you check out the slide show, you won't notice any obese kids, though there are some weird fruit balloons.  You know, you would think these kids have never seen a piece of fruit. 

    And by the way, a teacher is quoted as "pineapples grow on trees."  This is not my understanding at all.  Oh and by the way again, I refuse to subscribe to (or buy) this Gannett rag, just read online for free, and mostly for kicks.

    The teal dress is pretty, and seems to fit. Bare arms, a bit early in the year for that, but the dress itself isn't bad.

    The Dr. Seuss outfit? Man. The only coherent response I can make to that is, "Whatever she's on, it must be good."

    Surely the 'aging hippies' provided aroma to the whole affair.

  17. In that picture with the blue dress - I don't think it's her hair.

    It has that slicked back appearance, all around, with the hair just hanging off the top, over it.

    That sort of look would seem to me to require a hidden hairband, underneath it all, holding back all the hair from her face.

    Since no one wears a hidden hairband (how could you?), then it must be a wig on top.

  18. I see they weren't allowing pix of her below the waist.  For a look at her the last time she wore that teal creation, see here:

    Mo likes to party night and day
    And then plan her next vacay

    Do not tell me what to eat

    Yes, when I searched I found that you can grow a pineapple "tree" from the top of a grocery store pineapple, butt the USDA and others define the pineapple as a "herbaceous perennial."  I think herbaceous means nonwoody, hence not a tree.

    I am no botanical expert and don't mean to come off as being bitchy, butt my comment was directed at the teacher making an inaccurate statement.

    On the other hand, now I am going to buy a pineapple and grow a cool-looking plant to put beside my pool this summer.  Now I am remembering, isn't a pineapple a bromeliad?

  23. UnSkinnyMinnieMarch 3, 2011 1:31 PM

    Butt unlike the known wighats, this hairstyle seems to be combed up from the center of her front hairline and falling in a more natural line, instead of drooping over and hiding the lace-front of a wighat.  With MA0 who knows, though? I sure don't.

  26. OT, just read a hilarious editorial, Los Angeles Times.  The writer overheard some complaining about MO's anti-obesity campaign.  Here's an excerpt:

    "These were respectable-looking businessmen: mid-40s, Dockers, wedding bands, cellphones on belts. I wouldn't have expected either one of them to burst forth with an obscenity, especially not in the United terminal, surrounded by innocent children and people trying to enjoy their Cinnabons."

    And perhaps even funnier, the conclusion that people are lashing out at MO only because they feel so guilty about what they eat!

Green is the new black .. social justice for green eggs..  voter intimidation by The Green Panthers.  How earthy and Marxist and Black Liberatonist all at the same time!  I am pretty sure the story is a cleverly disguised prapaganda to lure people into the new black.. er... green liberation theology.  But Michelle's cummerbund was distracting.  She should wear something more militant next time.

    I can't remember the site, but the discussion was Mooch's food police campaign.  The comments were hilarious and made, based on their names, by men.  They were snarking on her just like we do.  I didn't think guys paid attention to these topics, for the most part.  **Typical
     LA Times blaming people for not liking Mooch as having some sort of disorder.

  33. That teal dress is a nightmare. It was worn by a fat bride's maid in 1961. The color is a bore: Walmart shelves used to over flow with everything cotton knit in this hideous shade of China blue all during the 80's, and I never saw anyone that looked flattered in it. Koopie isn't doing much better than her predecessor, even though the first few outfits were a relief. I believe MOO has rebelled and Koopie is cowering in a corner, her opinions having been shelved for cramping MOO's "style".

  36. WTF-barry just kicked off his regime's 2011 Tea Party is Racist campaign, which didn't work last year and won't work this year. They will probably bring back BushBlame and wonder why that doesn't work either.

    WTF-b's regime was hoping and saying that the Tea Party was over and would not be back (I think Pelousy said that a few weeks ago). They have noticed that it will be back and the regime's planners are setting the stage for their slime and smear campaign. They have no facts to back up their allegations, butt that isn't a problem for the fringe lefties. Just yell it often and loud.

    What they don't realize is that they are trying to demonize a solid majority of Americans. They know they cannot win a debate based on facts. Sliming and smearing a majority of voters will not make us any more likely to vote for this WTF-failed regime. I look forward to going to Tea Party events this year, along with mPF unit or a girlfriend or two, each of us armed with cameras:

    The Tea Party called a meeting
    We traveled from near and far

    Some of us came by automobile
    While others arrived by car

    Cameras to the event I will carry
    To correctly record our protest of barry

    If the union of thugs should try to appear
    Our many photographs will make it quite clear

    We will record them as they shout their drivel
    And photograph them if they are uncivil

    This proof we will post, far and wide
    The union of thugs have no place to hide!

    Sorry, I'm not much of a poet, the meter changed after the first two verses which I modified from an old poem called "The Dogs, They Called a Meeting", the original too X-rated to post in its entirety here. Butt it is funnier than heck and explains why when dogs meet, they first smell each other's butt.

  40. I always match purple and screaming tomato red.  What a trendsetter & fashion forward first lady!  Incidentally, I just got my latest copy of Glamour in the mail today highlighting the top 50 most fashionable women and this piece of hideous trash was at #8.  No surprise.  It's not like they're left leaning kool-aid drinkers or anything.  I'm sure Laura Bush was featured when she was FLOTUS.  Ch-yeah.

    I heard Laura Ingraham playing a clip of this dope reciting Green Eggs & Ham.  She sounded foolish.  She tries too hard and it shows.  As for the outfit....sweet Mother Mary, this woman never ceases to amaze.  She is a complete COMPLETE fashion disaster.

  44. At the 52 second mark on the first video - the shoes look bright yellow on my screen. Uh, um, you know, I mean, you know, who wouldn't automatically pair a full pleated irridescent orange skirt which adds needed bulk to the backside (with cummberbun), a pastel lavernder/pink/white swirlly print top and acid yellow too-tight shoes?  That'd be my first instinct and stuff, you know?

    In the second video, please note the yellow shoes glimpsed in the first vid matches the tie of the guy to MO's right (our left) - so she probably coordinated that too...butt of course its easy when you are a fashion icon.

  46. I agree, bettyann.  Teal (at least that shade of it) is so passe.  But MO wants us know is sacrificin'.  Wearing what she wore once before in 2009 goes by "recycling" these days. Aren't we all impressed! 
    And "matelasse", I've always associated with coverlets.  Of course, have never heard of silk matelasse.  Also we are supposed to believe she actually fits into a dress she wore in 2009.  Here she is from around Christmas of 2009.  Major alterations/heavy duty containment systems, the right angles and the embargo of shots of the bottom half, must have all helped.  Still, she's so brave:

  48. But - a hint. Pineapples need a lot of iron in the soil. In Hawaii, it looks like they are growing in fields of ketchup, the soil is so red. What you can do is get yourself a real iron horse shoe, and bury it next to the plant. The iron leeches into the soil. This works for bird of paradise, too.

  50. Last time the First Lady of Mexico went to a school with Mooch, she was forced to gallop around a gymnasium floor wearing heels.  This time she came prepared, only to be forced to read The Cat In the Hat (AGAIN) this time to a group that includes white children.  The FLFO (First Lady Face Off) is a slideshow at the HufPo:

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/03/03/first-lady-fashion-faceof_n_831082.html#248684

    Yeah.  Margarita Zavala is dressed like an attractive, professional woman (she's a lawyer and I think a member of the legislature) who is a bit more polished than the last time we saw her -- nice hair & makeup -- it's daytime, you know.

    Mooch on the other hand is wearing some kind of peasant dress, smocked at the "waist" and with tiers.  No, no, no!  And, of course, the stretch black boots with flat heels that we last saw (I think when she was getting on the plane for India -- a memorable outfit featuring boots, lowered housedress and wrinkled anorak.  Just lovely).

    Also -- what appears to be some kind of all or part wig -- that's her own hairline, I recognize the fuzz, but then there's kind of a fall of hair going straight back.  Also, really bad little eye (I'd hate be around when she was informed she would have to read to some brats AGAIN, I'm sure she fortified herself)  very harsh make-up, one shot of her giving the stinkeye to the trim backside of Ms Zavala -- the whole package.  

    I imagine they got some feedback on the clown outfit and the mugging and weird gesturing from yesterday, she has toned it way down.

  51. Thanks Jules, I was trying to access a pic of that dress from another angle.

  54. You are probably right.  In fact, it would explain alot, if you are.  When Smooty or any other assistant tried to suggest normal outfits, if you are right, Big Moo would probably hold up 50 or 60 magazine articles saying how glamorous they find her, and would tell her assistants that she knows more than they do.  Sigh.  It is going to be a long time until 2012.

  62. Just before the French revolution, the royals and their minions had decended into such gross moral decadence, in so much that decent and simple working folk could not abide the sight or sound of them.  The men wore heavy make up and talked and minced like women, and the women, fatted up while the simple starved, used to go to the balls wearing gowns of sheer fabric, wetted down and without undergarments, so that their dresses clung to them revealing all. They would gorge, and then just as the Romans did, have a handy feather to stick down their throats in order to vomit up what they had eaten, so that they could eat more.

    While we do not see such barbaric display of arrogance, and our priviledged class has been elected, rest assured that the spirit of entitlement is alive, well funded, and is  convinced of superior motives from the "little" people, off whom they feed, like vampires. 

    When people have no moral grounding, no God whom they fear, they say in their hearts, "Let us eat and drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die". They do not fear any consequences for what they do, and are blatant hedonists.

    I see these people acting out the same sort of ethical barbary without fear: Eric Holder's comment is the PRIME EXAMPLE of a spirit without fear of consequences for his racist, unjust, un American, outrageous, discriminitory, and IMPERTINENT stand AGAINST fellow American's right to vote without being intimidated.

    He did not even deny that they were intimidated.
    He displays no fear of public backlash for his statement.

    God help us.

  79. Madame de Farge.March 3, 2011 7:17 PM

    There was an article in Vogue (I canceled my subscription but sometimes pick up a copy at the check-out) on "eyebrows".  The writer mentioned that people are critical of the First Lady's brows (angry, etc.) but simply had to add that people should give their attention to her work in nutrition as being more important.  I yelled at the page...Well, maybe we would if Vogue didn't hold her up to be the most fashionable in every way...an icon and paragon of beauty.  After trying on the lie about her fashion sense, they want us to swallow the other obvious falsehood that the Affirmative Action FLINO is smart.  Vogue thinks just because we pick up their rag from time to time, we're all morons.  Anna (Frozen Face) Wintour should retire.

  80. I HOPE the R-words spines are as strong as their rhetoric, butt they seem awfully skittish about even “shutting down the government.” Believe me, the government does not shut down no matter how hard you try. And I’ll be ok. Raj hooked my bunker up to a secure, Mil Spec, totally uninterruptible power supply and internet connection. So, my batteries won’t run down and my blog can stay active. ;)

  81. UnSM: I'm glad you found the vids, butt I can assure you, no matter what it looks like, those are 100% Indonesian locks.

    Hey, Upnl, don't worry how many times it posts. Raj will take care of it. And what a cute doggie! BTW, MO is blind to a lot of things, butt color is not one of them. The first thing she notices is what color you are. Or, uh, were you talking about...

    You, pipedream, are good!

  98. Madame, Apparently 'Michelle Obama Eyebrows' has earned an its own entry in the urban dictionary: "When a person has overly exaggerated arched eyebrows like Michelle Obama, giving them the appearance of bitchy, menacing, foul mood."
    According to HuffPo her eyebrows has gone through and an evolution since then:

  105. There once was a faker from Kenya
    Became POTUS with a hateful agenda
    Butt we discovered at last
    His camouflaged past
    Now a guest at Git-mo Hacienda.

    (projecting a little there, but when the story is told and the movie is made, I hope someone puts it on Pay Per View, because the huge revenues will help pay for barry's damage.)

    Second verse:
    There once was a website named MOTUS
    Who mirrored the antics of FLOTUS
    Where we meet with laughter
    All m0's fashion disasters
    Till barry is fired from POTUS.

    Third verse:
    There once was a fake from Honolulu
    Who looked better when wearing a tutu
    He ran out of luck
    When he said WTF
    So we sent him back home with m00 too!

    [OK that was a stretch, butt not as much a stretch as m00's containment systems get.]

    ReplyDelete
  109. It's possible to wear pink with red successfully if they're different shades of the same hue. That is not the case with raspberry pink and tomato red. Is there anybody other than Moo who could think those two items look good together?

  115. OMG, she looks about 60 in that photo!  And note those deep nasolabial folds - the ones they puff up with Restylane and its cousins.  That's what makes her look so blowfishy, as I've mentioned before - yesterday?

    The entire day has been filled with super snark poetry. Think how all this will look on the morning reports over at the daily cuss and huffypuffer and at m00's morning staff meeting. Heads will explode. There should be no doubt we are being watched.

  120. I think this is the real MoochMO -- loud, demanding attention, the sister to a basketball player with her wide-spread "coaching stance" legs, her flailing arms, and she just loves being in front of kids because she knows they have been prompted to worship her and have no standards of judgement.

    I want to know how much the Seuss hats cost and who paid for them.

    ReplyDelete
  121. I suppose MoochMO choose "I do not like Green Eggs and Ham" as a hilarious reference to her "Let's Move" comments about whining and "Just Eat It."

    Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. (This is the syncophants laughing in delight.)

  123. I know I"m late to the game, but I'd like to play! Here goes my offering:

    Hello, hello, my name is MOO!
    And I will tell you what to do!

    (I do not like that name-is-MOO,
    I do not like her through and through.)

    My name is MOO; my man is BOO
    And we are hypocrites, tis true.

    Eat your veg that tastes like poo
    While on waguyu beef I chew.

    We counsel thrift, but spend a slew,
    Fly our jet - the cost's on you.

    (I do not like that name-is-MOO
    When will her husband's term be through?)

  124. Radegunda....

    I was wondering the same thing myself about the colors not working. 

    And besides the color mis-match, the style of top absolutely doesn't go with the style of the skirt.

    It's obvious that MO dressed herself once again.

  125. Burma Shave, for all you MYL's and MYD's was a shaving cream that had a very popular roadside advertising campaign from the 30's through the early 60's. Here's a couple of links:
    http://burma-shave.org/jingles/
    and:
    http://www.fiftiesweb.com/burma.htm
    Some of the little jingles were quite naughty for the day:
    A man
    Who wants
    To middle-aisle it
    Must never scratch
    His little violet
    BURMA SHAVE

    Just think about it for a moment . . . where and how would a clean shaven face help . . .

  131. Bettyann -you are 100% correct.  I feel the same way.  They have pulled off scams on us on a daily basis.  The ydefy court orders.  They ignore the constitution. They are running this country like Hugo Chavez or Ghadaffy.  Right now we have NO democracy.  We need a revolution - just like the French one.

    ReplyDelete
  132. I was wondering the same thing.  Also, while the camera was filming from back a little further in the room at the beginning of the wonderful acted out (by Moo with embarrassed white middle-aged men on either side of the throne) rendition of "Green Eggs & Ham"...the hats were in constant motion.  After a few minutes I realized that none of the kids beyond the first row could see over the hats of the kids in front of them.  So all the kids in the group were jockeying for position so they could see anything - thus the hats went up and down, left to right throughout. The majority of the kids could not see MO which when you think about it is a good thing.

    In addition, watching MO and the matchy Yellow Tie guy try show the pictures as they read from their tiny books as if they were in a small library reading room with 6 kids sitting around them in a circle was a lesson in futility.  Butt, then, you know we have had many futiiity lessons as part of the unprecedented, historic BO/MO reign....er, I mean administration.

    I do not like her ghetto clothes
    I do not like her prodding nose
    I eat my veggies - I eat steak
    I will not listen to this fake
    I'll pay no heed to mainstream shill
    Her fashion sense does make me ill
    I do not like her spending sprees
    I do not like to see her knees
    She's nothing but a two bit beard
    I do not like the way she's reared
    I do not like Obama's wife
    Please go away and get a life.
