Well here we are, heading home after eating our way across South Africa and Botswana:
We wrapped up our trip Friday night with luncheon at the Sanitas Tea Garden and dinner at the restaurant in the Mokolodi Nature Reserve where we dined on elephant stew from an old tribal recipe. It was a little tough.
For lunch on Saturday during our safari Lady M insisted on going to Borakanelo, a local cafeteria, where she heard they made organic French fries, her favorite food.
Finally! Some decent food! I’ll take one of those weiners too.
Lady M ordered chicken and chips (no fish available in the interior). We wanted some greens of course, butt alas, they weren’t serving any. This menu wouldn’t cut it with the USDA school cafeteria lunch guidelines, butt I guess when you’re on safari you have to expect to rough it.
The safari was a lot of fun. here we all spotted an elephant:
Out of the frame, unfortunately.
For the occasion, Lady M - ever conscious of being a fashion icon and role model for young African girls - donned a fringed, leopard print Prova scarf draped around her neck and paired with a cheap gray cardigan and gray slacks to demonstrate how even ordinary people can appear to be extraordinary.
Here we are, stalking wild game yesterday:
Back home, Big Guy was equally busy. No, not with the budget talks: raising money so he can afford to run a top notch campaign in 2012. New York was a virtual gold mine (thank you, Goldman Sachs!) where he managed to hit 3 different fundraisers in one night last Thursday! He racked up $38,000 a plate for a Daniel Boulud prepared dinner!
Here’s the menu:
Reception
Rock Shrimp Spring Rolls with Ginger Soy Dip
Vodka Beet-Cured Hamachi with Horseradish Cream
Crisp Parmesan Basket with Soft Goat Cheese and Fines Herbs
Brochette of Seared Kobe Beef with Pickled Onion and Tartare Sauce
Zucchini Pomponette with Fontina and Tomato Confit
Comté Gougères with Beaufort BéchamelDinner
Maine Lobster Salad with Satur Farms Roasted Beets
Horseradish Cream, Mâche “Nantaise” and Walnut Vinaigrette
Sandhi Santa Barbara Chardonnay, California 2009Duo of Black Angus Beef
Braised Short Ribs with Young Spinach
Roasted Tenderloin with Stuffed Potato and Hen of the Woods
Copain Anderson Valley Pinot Noir “Tous Ensembles » California 2008Citrus Marinated Strawberries
Vanilla-Raspberry Gelée, Sablé Breton, Yuzu SorbetChocolates, Madelaienes and Petits Four
Yum-o!
This while Lady M is choking down African locavore peanut and elephant stew; there’s no end to the sacrificing she does for her country.
Anyhoo, the Boulud dinner was squeezed in between a fundraiser on Broadway for a showing of “Sister Act” with the incomparable Whoopi:
Hey! Big Guy’s Presidential Seal is missing.[linky fixed now] Again. I better keep an eye on this.
…and an LGBT event (where he got heckled – can you even believe it!?)
I think Big Guy should stop fighting with the R-words over taxes and spending limits and just book fundraisers from now through the 2012 election. At $38K per head, we could have the national debt crisis under control in no time.
UPDATE FOR CENTRALCAL:
Are you sure you really wanted to see this? On a Sunday?
UPDATE FOR LINDA:
You MOLs are really testing me today, and my battery pack is pretty low after the safari. Butt here you go:
Butt those aren’t peek-a-boos on the tights: studs. It’s winter in South Africa, after all. Oh, and in case anyone thinks that’s a Palestinian kuffiyeh around her neck: chill. It’s actually a Duro Olowu scarf (who, you may recall, also designed our lovely dress that we wore to dinner on the Vineyard last summer) paired with another ASOS Africa beaded collar jacket.
Linked by: Adrienne’s Corner Thanks!




Whoppi looks so special! Glad she dressed up for her photo op with the big guy!
ReplyDeleteMan o man, I would really like to see a close-up of this outfit on Flotus!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.daylife.com/photo/01or5Lke7J2jV?q=michelle+obama
If she breathes at all, every button will pop!
Guess she didn't bring the official "car washer". The Suburban looks like it has a little mud on the tires!!!!! Moooo will be mad.
ReplyDeleteThe safari was a lot of fun. here we all spotted an elephant:
ReplyDeleteHope that elephant did not end up as their stew!
MOTUS, love this:

I thought they were tights, though, watching in the french fries and hot cakes video.
Her button popping upper outfits are to accentuate her lower big butts -- in some cultures they are as good an endowment as big boobs. Let us face it before she leaves the WH, she will rip off everything on her body to show (shock) the world to show how fit and toned she is. Eat that you ex and future FLOTUSes.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Motus! You are the my favorite website --- used to preserve my sanity in "these troubling times".
ReplyDeleteThat menu blew my mind. It's early and I can't think of anything really snarky to say. 2012 can't come soon enough...
ReplyDeleteStanding there with that vile person who looks like she never showers (no, not Moo - Whoopi) makes me want to puke.
ReplyDeleteWhat's with the grey hair? Hairdresser czar not available?
In first pic, 'Department fo the Ait Force', whaat? no FLOTUS seal and no plane of her own? Why, o' why after all the things she has to put up with, starting with this stupid charade of fashionista that some campaign minion cooked up and hoisted on her big butt and she has to act like she likes it when all she can think about were french fries and lobsters and ice creams ..

ReplyDeleteDoesn't she look all Emelda Marcos in that waving off picture? Ew, just scary.
ReplyDeleteMoo also enjoyed "deep fried fat cakes" with her fries.

And from your photo above, I see "Manchelle" still has not mastered the art of "tucking".
And I see she has the same Leopard pint scarf on in her getaway outfit. Hopefully she wasn't too hot and sweaty after wearing it on the safari. For smell purposes, you know.
ReplyDeleteGranny R does not seem the least bit impressed with the safari. I'm thinking she would rather be back in the big white with clean bathrooms and plenty of servants.
Re the menu: Just the reception menu cost more than I would spend in six months on food. Of course, I no longer buy for anyone but myself, but still.
ReplyDeleteThey really piled on the beef being consumed. The O's really like them some kobe/wagyu beef. And what's with all the beets. I am not an eater of beets. Butt I'm sure BOo ate some of everything and lost a couple more pounds.
Whoopie should be ashamed of herself. It's dishonoring the office of _resident for her to appear like that. What a slob. She would fit in quite well in a cardboard box on the streets of NY or LA or SF. Or any other city.
OK, got that off my chest for another day. Now I can enjoy my Sunday.
And what's with Granny"s hair (esp. in third picture in truck)? Wouldn't Mooch share her hairdresser? Oops, I forgot - she doesn/t need one - just plops on a wig hat.
ReplyDeleteDoes this man ever wear a pair of pants that fit correctly? Someone in the White House lost their iron and forgot to tell Obama.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same thing, PatAZ. My thought was, Granny looks so happy she could just $#!+.
ReplyDeleteWhat a grumpy crew.
BTW, does anyone else notice how much Malia resembles Malcolm X? I used to think the old fart in Hawaii, Frank Marshall Davis, was Barky's real father, and the reason for forging all those birth certificates. But I'm beginning to wonder if the others who think it's Malcolm X are right after all.
A man at church one time looked at me and my brothers and sisters, and told my father who was standing with us, that we looked like were fathered by five different milkmen. His point was that we didn't look like each other, nor like him. But, my brother's first son looks so much like my dad, even to the olive skin tone, that you could put my dad's World War II Army uniform on him, and you'd think my father had been reincarnated.
I have never seen much resemblance between Barky and Malcolm X, but if you go to 1:22 in this video, where Barky is shown next to Obama and Malcolm X, it may jump out at you, too. They're trying to show the similarity between Malcolm X and Barky, but it looks like present-day Malia, not Malcolm X, is next to him.
Shocking.
At 3:42 there is a pic of Malia next to Malcolm, and it's even more shocking. Hmmm.....MALia, MALcolm....I'm wondering if Malia is starting to look like Grampa....
Notice how the people near her are using the door as a shield-just in case she inhales.
ReplyDeleteRemember when Bo had seals made for "The Office of the President-Elect"? What a poser. He said it was so he could "hit the ground running". Evidently Moo does not warrant such an honor! Bo even had them on his faux Air Force plane.
ReplyDeleteI just realized why everything is so tight on Flo! If you compare the first picture and the second picture you can see that she is wearing Sasha's shirt from the day before (note the yellow sleeves). Maybe she ran out of things to wear....nah silly me that would never happen! =-O
ReplyDeleteOh dear, she's wearing her containment system outside her clothes again.
ReplyDeleteMOTUS, you wrote that the elephant Lady M's party spotted on the safari was out of the camera frame. I beg to differ. The elephant was in the jeep alright, sporting a fancy wighat and sunglasses for the special occasion.
ReplyDeleteThe local guy on this video looks like he walked out of a GQ ad. I though the country was poor? **Malia and Granny are in a deadheat on this one - neither cracked a smile in any of the photos taken. What a bummer it is to fly all over the world in first class all the way. Other kids are riding their bikes or swimming in an overcrowded pool and we have to go on some safari and only see one elephant.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how to add a photo here, but this one is a must-see.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.flickr.com/photos/usembassybotswana/5869236553/in/photostream/
I thought I was seeing things so I zoommed in butt I was right--she is wearing a skin tight mini-skirt and some kind of "cut out" tights. Just gross.
That whoopi does look like a stinky hag. Two pukes right next to eachother! How anyone made it out of that room without barfing is beyond me. He really is grey, guess all the hairdressers are traveling with moochy and the grumps.
ReplyDeleteI thought I had quarantined that photo.
ReplyDeleteGoodness.
ReplyDeleteNo, you wouldn't. Butt since you asked. See above.
ReplyDeleteEverything in Lady M's wardrobe these days is "tights"
ReplyDeleteIt is...interesting:
ReplyDeleteMrs Robinson appears very detached from any situation she is in, is there a possibility she is suffering from dementia?
ReplyDeleteAnd on the SA trip she had a companion traveling with her.
Perhaps that is why she is living in the WH.
Thank you A.Men! We need to preserve as much sanity as we can to carry us over the next hurdle. Glad to do my bit.
ReplyDeleteWe could have used another one, too.
ReplyDeleteIt's all related. You just have to follow the dots:
ReplyDeleteThere is an unreal resemblance, butt would Malcom X really have found Moo attractive???
ReplyDeleteOr Spock?
ReplyDeleteThere have been well founded rumors of dementia in the Big White, butt it's not Granny R.
ReplyDeleteYou're half right: Sasha borrowed the top from Lady M though.
ReplyDeleteOK, got that off my chest for another day. Now I can enjoy my Sunday.
ReplyDeleteHee. I hope your Sunday included a trip to church to seek forgiveness for ridiculing one of God's lesser creatures.
OH DEAR! Did you mean these "Fat Cakes?"
ReplyDeleteNo, he apparently liked "white girls." So Big Guy's Mom? That's another story.
ReplyDeleteI think the gray is just to impress everyone on how difficult the job is and how much it is taking out of him. I believe nothing regarding this demon.
ReplyDeleteJust when I thought she couldn't get more inappropriate she morphs into the black, unfit version of Madonna.
ReplyDeleteWhy bother with the skirt? I ask.
ReplyDeleteThe biological relative whom I most resemble is my maternal grandfather. Seriously. It's freaky how much I resemble him. So yeah, I'd buy that for a dollar.
ReplyDeleteOh, dear. Now that's classy and altogether appropriate for the FLOTUS.
ReplyDeleteAnd there's a photo of my husband's great-grandfather, circa the 1920s, wearing knickers and posing with a bicycle. It's nearly a dead ringer for my husband. Familial resemblance and how it can skip generations always has fascinated me.
ReplyDeleteIs there a world in which people baby and tease and tweak and dress up food like this for others? I can't imagine anything on that menu -- can't imagine what such food looks like, let alone having it placed before me. But then, I am a peasant.
ReplyDeleteWhoopi makes herself ugly deliberately, but I can't tell you what message she's trying to convey, unless its' a functional insanity.
ReplyDeleteThey don't even look happy going to dinner -- First Niece and First Nephew are looking sullen.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if a LOT of fighting is going on behind the scenes and that's why the tag-along grifters have been looking less than joyous about their free trip to Africa with Aunt MoochMORE.
I'm making my guess -- that there has been a lot of arguing on this trip and you can take any subset of this happy group and see how it could happen.
ReplyDeleteLaughing and wearing tights and smiling in public -- that's Moo. Screaming and threatening and wailing in private -- that's also Moo. Cowering and hating and longing to go home -- everyone else.
Yesterday, I finally watched Marie Antoinette. The culinary decadence had a familiar ring.
ReplyDeleteYa MOTUS, what was up with your reflecters in that photo? YOu must indeed be getting tired, because that ass is as big ass....a continent.
ReplyDeleteIn the video, MOO takes the syro-foam togos, then hands them to Malia, who looks distraught as hell - "MOM!!! MEEE? Butt Butt - I don't carry stuff..." So MOO hands the stuff off to a woman in the back of the room, who gets the same look on her face. She was probably a customer trying to order her own lunch.
I feel for my fellow Americans tomorrow. Those poor Patriots sitting in doctors' office reception areas; Jiffy Lube waiting stalls; along with Best Buy/Sears/et al appliance sales peeps...
ReplyDeleteWhy? Whoopi (no doubt wearing the same shirt...still) on the View will be 'all over' how she met with Buh-Rock. She will tear up (her dreads apparently are quite absorbent) about how 'proud' she is of him; how all the RAAAACISTS are hating on him (in all 57 states!); and (as always) how 'hawt' he is. Sheri/Cherry/whats her name will fan herself (because Buh-Rock is 'hawt' to her too); Babs will recall how 'hawt' Mildred Fillmore was (she had relations with him too back in the day); and Joy will screed that interrupting their 'talk' on Buh-Rock's 'hawtness'(to go to commerical) is all Sarah Palin's fault.
This is what has become of America in 2011.
Maybe that MD astroid thingy will be kind, and hit the earth tomorrow.
And for those of you MOLs, who like myself, occasionally don the Reynolds' Wrap chapeaus...wanna good conspiracy theory? My laptop LOST its fan last week when MAO left for Africa...no snarking from this Contrarian for a week involving hideous clothing and clothingfree dancers; MAO's own admission that the 'media helps us;' along with elephant sightings,stew, and sisterwives?!?
If I claim the circling helicopters were black...does that make me RAAACIST?
Her mouth is hanging open like she has never even heard of an elephant before, let alone seen a live one. What a big stupid fake.
ReplyDeleteBarry Hussein Obama Soetero wants to be president of the world. He eats like a king, beause he is the king of the world. He will serve one term because we hate his guts and love our country. Then, he will go try to become president of the U.N. which we fund. We live in interesting times. It might be a good idea to keep watch on what he does for the U.N. during his last year in office.
ReplyDeleteSeeing that mini skirt on a woman of her size and age is proof where the dementia resides in the family.
ReplyDeleteThe top looks like cardboard and if possible, is uglier than the skirt
I just had to go back and re-read that menu. The really sick part is that, having run a restaurant, I know how spoiled people who eat out all the time treat food: with a lot of disrespect. The guests will fill their plates, then eat a quarter of it. The rich are disgusting.
ReplyDeleteThey should have fed the lot of them fried chicken and watermelon, and given them bath tub gin to wash it down with. For wanting to re-elect these trailer trash.
Whoopi is a woman, right? I've never been quite sure.
ReplyDeleteAgain, she is dressing like she thinks she's 25.
ReplyDeleteI have seen this comparison photo before. Malia looks very, very much like Malcolm X.
ReplyDeletebettyann, maybe some bathtub cheese? That's what the street nacho vendors sell. It's really great...if you don't mind a little extra hair.
ReplyDeleteI love the open mouthed awe she is expressing upon seeing...an elephant. Who knew they had them in Africa?
ReplyDeleteBet you a dollar that FFA was furious at having missed all that guut food.
ReplyDeleteWhat a P.H.O.N.E.Y. she is.
ReplyDeleteWhere are the white vinyl Go-Go boots?
ReplyDeleteDidn't Granny Jan do a video recently that was nothing but clips of Zippy mentioning his gray hair and how the job was just wearing on him so much? I've seen something recently that was an assemblage of sound bytes of him talking about it--apparently it's his one sure fire "humor" line for the little people to try and convince them how HARD he is working for them.....or some such garbage. I have to admit (1) I try to avoid listening to the moron and prefer to read the transcripts so I can cut out the hemming and hawing and ummming and ahhhing and cut to the chase and avoid the intense irritation of having to hear his voice that gives me an immediate Pavlovian reaction of wanting to hunt him down and smack the sh*t out of him; and (2) his idea of "humor" completely escapes me since I find the lack of jobs and the insane spending of money we don't have on completely idiotic and useless things, like flying him and the Mrs. all over hell and gone for no good reason other than for him to shake down his sychophants for more $$$$ and her to be able to see the world on the taxpayer dime to be remarkably unfunny to the point all I want to do is retch.
ReplyDeleteBut, hey, that's just me......
Besides, The MOOCH tells us this is a man who NEVER RESTS! That he reads EVERYTHING so he knows MORE THAN ANYONE ABOUT ANYTHING. And not only that, but once he sees you, HE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU OR YOUR STORY!!!! So I guess it was understandable that he forgot who SGT Monti was, since technically he never actually met him.....but it still doesn't explain how he forgot all about SGT Giunta, since he actually did meet the guy face to face when he hung that pretty ribbon around his neck. Guess that MOH citation just wasn't memorable enough a story for him? Or he just got confused because all white people look alike to him? Or that gray hair fogged that steel trap brain THAT WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOUR STORY ONCE HE'S MET YOU?
Spock minus the logic.
ReplyDeleteGranny's foul face scared off most of the animals during the safari.
ReplyDeleteI still want to know about all the scars on BOo's head. Something happened there and I'm sure his medical records would tell the tale.
ReplyDeleteWhy would he have been interested in Stanley Ann? No great beauty by anyone's standards. ???? And where and when did their paths cross when she was 18? They'd have had to have at least a one night stand.
ReplyDeleteAppearances aren't everything.

ReplyDeleteAppearances aren't everything.
Perhaps the Wee Wons are taking care of Granny R instead of vice versa.
ReplyDeleteSo who is Whoopie's fashion designer ... Omar the tent maker? I swear, could she have come up with something that looks worse than that?
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks to all you commenters on here. This keeps me sane. I love you all.
MOTUS:
ReplyDeleteI have been away from commemts...butt not very far. I've been working on making videos of my long ago (1982-84)visits to Italy and environs.
And I HAVE been following, every day, your pursuits in refracting the BIG BUTT Obama.
I have recently switched over to Google Chrome, as IE9 was not being "fast" or nice. So I had to re-do a lot of, as the Obamas call it, STUFF!
I am appalled , yet again, at MOO and her FAUX trip.
How dare she call herself her husband's "rep", without us hearing it from his (purple) lips?
This was Mmama (Kenyan) MOO, saying that she can do whatever she wants to do, and BOO-WHO better sanction it, or else.
Of course, never mind the Granny VOO-DOO and the girls look sooooo sour...MOO actually saw an elephant!
And it probably reminded her of her own BUTT.
Her clothes are ugly lately, BUTT more importantly, her own heart and soul are soooo UGLY.
I continue, everyday, with my prayer:
"Please deliver us of Obama and ALL of his ilk."
Not to worry, bettyann. She isn't sure either - or so they say.
ReplyDeleteNot to worry, bettyann. She isn't sure either - or so they say.
ReplyDeleteShe is obviously losing hair - has probably processed her hair to the max over all those decades, including bleaching it and then dyeing it reddish brown. Great patches of bare skin showing up. Mooch can see herself in just a few years.
ReplyDeleteShe is obviously losing hair - has probably processed her hair to the max over all those decades, including bleaching it and then dyeing it reddish brown. Great patches of bare skin showing up. Mooch can see herself in just a few years.
ReplyDeleteMooch has the look of a desperate woman who feels her life slipping away. She's almost 50. She was never sexy or sought after, I'll bet, and now she is trying on all kinds of looks in a pathetic attempt to attract SOMEONE - preferably a big, tall, muscular stud who will sweep her off her feet and tell her how hot she is. Her switches from slinky faux seductress to flirty skirty twenty-something to casual jock to....well, you get my drift.
ReplyDeleteAt her age a woman - a real woman- has usually found herself and her look. There may be variations depending upon the setting, but not the gigantic swings - and the perennial shock and awe look-at-me stuff - that we witness in her.
If I didn't dislike her so much I'd pity her.

Either she's hiding real goods, or "packing" in those huge clothes. Butt, why hide your depraved declivities? MOO doesn't. She starts out an angry black women with a cause, and ends up a fashion joke with pictures of herself stuffing her face all over hell and gone. Whoopi has dreams of MOO. Maybe they will move to Kenya and live happily ever lobster after. On Kenya's dime.
ReplyDeleteDittos mouse, and good observation. This woman is in denial, and De Queen of De Nile is not a good thing to be. Butt, she has everything at her finger tips, and that's what stinks here. She's a millionairess. She's occupying a position only 44 American women have ever had the priveledge to become. And she squanders it, like the shallow, dim witted product of an imprudent and ugly sub culture that she is.
ReplyDeleteI hate her. I'll teach my grand daughters to hate her. She's the vomit of Chicago, the creme de la scum, the reason America revolted against the irrelevancy of Britain's ruling class, and we are taking the country back in 2012.
Buck Farack.
For some reason, the link to the forensic video of Malcolm X's family and Obama's family will not post tonight...as being more than 3000 characters...I have posted it without a problem before...hum.
ReplyDeletehttp://hillbuzz.org/2011/01/28/great-merciful-zeus-have-you-seen-the-forensic-video-comparing-obamas-physical-features-to-malcom-littlemalcom-x/
ReplyDeleteMaybe Malcolm came to Hawaii or maybe he met her in the Northwest...some say she was pregnant when her family left the US... for that exact reason.
ReplyDeleteAlso there are those who say BO wasn't born in Aug. 1961. Who knows why he's spent a bundle to keep everything secret?
Dearest MOTUS: Been busy all day and away from the computer since early morning (PDT) - just checking in quickly before granddaughters claim my computer -
ReplyDeleteYOU ARE THE BOMB MOTUS! Thanks for zooming in on that photo! It is a like an Iron Lung in fabric, is it not? The misery that woman puts herself through for the sycophants in the MFM, so they will swallow painfully and think of some idiotic praise to give her for her "iconic" fashion sense. Liberalism is it's very own special form of insanity.
Remember he even had headrest covers for his primary plane which said President-elect with the seal.
ReplyDeleteHow much did the elephant view cost?
ReplyDeleteIf you take a picture of Stanley Dunham, Obama's grandfather, and put it over, or next to one of Obama, or Malia, you will see that they are the same features. Only in Obama and Malia they are black. Those looks come from Stanley Dunham, not Malcolm X.
ReplyDeleteDidn't all our grandmothers or mothers imbue in us "pretty is as pretty does." The old cliches stick around because they're true.
ReplyDeleteThe whole family looks entitled, spoiled, and ill tempered. If they didn't all dress like bizarre slobs, but wore some outfits that were neat and tailored, maybe they'd feel better and their moods would improve.
Love your avitar.
ReplyDeleteI didn't forget.

ReplyDeleteLily Bart...thank you so...I did not know if it would show.
ReplyDeleteThe avatar is a tribute to Leonardo da Vinci...a wonderful artist who, it seems, has taught me most of what I know--because I studied my rear-end off about him!
MOTUS understands, and so do some of the MOLS.
Thank you sooooo much!
Bettyann:
ReplyDeleteShe may have been a 'millionaress' as of 2010 tax info...BUTT...she's going to bankrupt her hubby if she continues to go on this way.
Does anyone remember what came out about Jack and Jacqueline? They were heavily into drugs--uppers and downers--and it seems, lately, that the Obamas (both) are relying on something other than "HEALTHY FOOD" to keep them going.
Spanky,
ReplyDeleteI think you are right regarding the gray hair. Does anyone get gray that fast? After all, he has only been at the WH a few years, it feels like an eternity.
I like Applebee's menu better!
ReplyDeleteThe reason his birth year is in question has to do when Hawaii became a state. He had to have been born after Hawaii was a state, so the story goes.
ReplyDeleteThe date IS one of the questionable elements about the latest "official" birth certificate.
ReplyDeleteMichelle's expressions remind me of Greek tragic and comic masks. They were purposely exaggerated so even the nosebleed section could see what the actor was trying to convey.
ReplyDeleteWhen I look at Whoopi all I can think of is "WHAT WAS TED DANSON THINKING?" The guy must have a LOT of sexual issues or something.
ReplyDeleteI'm getting pretty G.D. tired of him making jokes about his "funny" name, too.
ReplyDeleteIf they wanted to see giraffes, the zoo in Colorado Springs (I can't recall the name, butt it's built on the side of a mountain and is very impressive) has the largest collection of giraffes in captivity. Colorado Springs would've been a much shorter and cheaper trip...thus, completely unsatisfactory for Michelle Antoinette!
ReplyDeleteAside: I used to work with a woman named Antionette. She insisted it was pronounced "An-twan-nett" like the French. Butt it could be worse: there also was an Adrain who pronounced it Adrian.
P.S. The Colorado Springs zoo has wallabies. Wallabies.
ReplyDeleteCombined with what George Soros is up to, it can't be good.
ReplyDeleteI took a course in Renaissance art history. It was one of my favorite classes, not only because of the material, but because of the professor. I had an opportunity to go to Barcelona with a study group--it was just slightly out of my financial reach at the time--and I'll always regret not going. We studied Leonardo in some depth, but when it came time to write our term papers, in which we had to compare and contrast two Renaissance paintings, we were forbidden to do anything by daVinci, Bosch, or Botticelli, because those were too complicated for the scope of the paper.
ReplyDelete(But ask me about those Flemish masters...)
Bettyann's observation about how a person's true expression gets more and more deeply etched in their face is really sticking with me. Not only because of Granny Marian, and what Michelle's got to look forward to if she doesn't do something about the stinkface, butt also because it reminds me of my sweet and gentle grandmother on my dad's side (not the grandma who was always after me to wear a slip: she had a temper!) whose natural expression was always a smile.
ReplyDeleteLooking at just the travels of Moochelle, think of how much money the US could save by having a "first gentleman" rather than a "first lady". Of course, Moo also spends lavishly on fabrics and causes, so I can see (from my house!) lots more savings if we work to have her go back to her former employment!
ReplyDeletejayne - your comment caused me to do a little daydreaming about men in plaid shirts, cutting snow-machine cookies on the White House lawn. Do you think the First Dude would put a shooting range out in the vicinity of Moo's garden? :)
ReplyDelete
