How Do You iPhone? Tweet Me!

I  knew that Tweeting wasn’t going to be our friend. Especially after Big Guy admitted to genetically clumsy thumbs. And Lady M has always been known more for her guns than her thumbs,

Michelle Obama gunshow_Arm Toning ExercisesBack in the day: all guns, no thumbs

So up till now, all of her tweets have been dictated to staffers to tweet out.As a result, a whole lot of the important stuff she wanted to share tended to get lost in translation, ya know?

So when the tweeting Weiner shots took over the news cycle for 3 weeks, I knew that meant trouble for me. Lady M was mesmerized: not by the Weiner per se, butt by the type of attention that was garnered by a few pictures. That sort of face time - so to speak - can’t be bought. Even with the highest paid public relations staff in the history of the Big White.

So now that she’s discovered that you can take pictures of yourself with your cell phone in front of a mirror, we are dragging our iPhone along with us everywhere we go.

And now, I find out, she’s promoted her to official Cabinet status! Directly from tech support! She didn’t even make her go through an ethics check or get an official security clearance – although I guess that stuff has been waived for Cabinet members now.

From here on, she’s to be referred to as iPhOtus (the iPhone of the United States)! The Bitch! iPhOtus, not Lady M.

iphoni copyiPhOtus. Bitch!

iPhone-BITCH copy

So now iPhOtus (bitch) – in addition to tagging along everywhere we go – is constantly nagging Lady M  to “tell MOTUS to stand in front of us so we can tweet this out” or “tell MOTUS to stand still, I can’t focus.” Obnoxious bitch! The iPhOtus, not Lady...you know.

So now I have to stand in front of the two of them while they stage tweet shots to WTF (Win The Future), and I still have to control all the optics in order to make the tweet look good. Within the confines of what I have to work with, you understand. I’m NASA designed, 5G wired, butt I’m NOT a goddess. That job’s already taken.

This iArrangement  creates a frightening feedback loop! Like looking into one of those old barbershop mirrors that project your ever decreasing image into an infinite abyss!

infinite_mirrorCan someone get me a powder?

I’m dying here!

 

boogy-1 copy

That’s right...guns by MOTUS! Call now!

I work my tail off trans-imaging MO’s…uh, tail away, and all iPhOtus does is capture my  work and spew it out all over the intertubes.

I don’t like to complain about my job or the working conditions, butt how am I supposed to keep the Mainstream Paparazzi away from Lady M’s flanks if I have to stand motionless in front of her just so iPhOtus can snap a measly 5 megapixel shot of the two of them gallivanting about?

I even had to ‘shop their images into a triptych on a green screen background so they can “be wherever they want to be”...

MO triplets-green screen“Hiiii there! As your FLOTUS, I take my iPhone everywhere, in order to keep you up-to-date on my healthy day.”

“…and when I say everywhere, I mean everywhere! Here we are teaching African leaders how to properly greet visiting American deities like Buh-rock”

MO LICK PROTOCOL copy“Can you do this with your cell phone?”

I’m not saying  that she hasn’t made any contribution. The snapshot of hers above did turn into our poster demonstrating proper “Welcome to the continent of your birth” protocol.

I should have listened when Gerard warned me that this little piece of Apple technology would be trouble right from the git-go. Butt no, I had to give her the benefit of the doubt.

Personally, I think she’s just preparing for an alternate career path on the very remote chance that the American people wake up lose their senses and vote her and Big Guy out of office. WTF?

I tell you, that Smithsonian gig is sounding better every day.

Tweet this!

Bitch!

  9. Totally OT - but last night on O'Really Laura was interviewing that slimy little weasel limp wristed Alan Combs.  He was, of course, attacking the new dumbest republican in the history of dumb republicans - Michele Bachman.  He was gloating over the fact that "Obama killed Bin Laden" - as if he pulled off the whole mission single handed. The stupid GQ mag that comes to my house on its own volition is spouting the same line.  Since when did liberals get so blood thirsty?  What happened to their anti death penalty, anti war bleeding hearts?  I have to hand it to them - they never let a crisis or a golden opportunity go to waste.

  14. Here's the lovely creation from our local newspaper who worte a column calling Palin stupid.  She referred to Sarah as a "walking political circus" and said "I bet she [Palin] would be shocked to learn that the sky is blue and walking into a brick wall hurts." 

    Does anyone remember the caller on Rush who said that women who attack Palin are usually less than "7" on a scale of 1 - 10?  This baby's minus 800.

    Her ending statement: "The fact that ...[Palin]...wields any power, and is seen by some as a legitimate contender for the White House makes me want to learn Franch and move to Quebec."  Be my guest.

  20. Brilliant MOTUS, absolutely brilliant!  MOTUS, here's a quick update on Lady M's painting attire -- the pants she wore in South Africa while painting a mural.  I thought that the pants had paint on them from painting -- I was so wrong.  The pants she wore -- called doodle pants -- came with graffiti written on them, and at the bargain price of $334.  http://www.alexanderwang.com/shop/sale/ready-to-wear/103320s11fb9003/doodle-print-jeans

Mr. sablegsd is wheelchair bound and our house is starting to look like a hospital.  But I am not jealous of Sarah or Bachman.  I have a solid 33 year marriage to my soul mate, 2 healthy sons and three healthy grandkids.  I am rooting for Sarah, I hope she becomes the first woman president.  I don't know much about Bachman yet, but I see the media vultures are threating her family.   Just who in the FUCK do they think they are?  Breitbart should go after them.

  27. Hi Sable!  The fact that thme media vultures are descending so hard on Bachmann is very telling...she's great! They are just beginning to unleash.  They've said everything possible about Sarah, so they could use a little fresh red meat.  Whadda ya bet they try to turn her husband into a sexual abuser?  I've thought this from the git-go.  They shared their home with 23 foster kids...her husband runs a Christian counselling practice....  What more vile mud could they make up?  They will portray her as mommy-dearest and him as Louie the Letch.  Wait for it. 

    My prayer life is being ratchetted up as we speak!  Bachmann is rock solid, and we need to have her back, as also for Sarah.  DO CONSERVATIVE WOMEN ROCK, OR WHAT!!!!!  Make some noise!!!!!!!!!!!!

  31. Well, um, you know, like, The WOD Load is um, well, stimulating, yeah stimulating the economy by spending and you know, she be sacrificin' all the way, um, you know, for the um, little people. Fer sure!

    Maybe we need a clip with The WOD's alleged husband's speechifying about investment (i.e. more spending, more stimulus) and a summary of the cost to the taxpayers of all the vacays and golf and taking the SS to soccer games and going on date nights, superimposed on 0-baka telling us how we must live within our means. WE are not supposed to go to Disneyland or buy that new car (unless it's a gummint motors Volt that will burn down our garage) or take a trip to Vegas. But these grifters are deliberately tone deaf when it comes to their own partays and vacays and spending.

    This is most definitely a horse that needs changing in mid-stream because the 0-baka horse is designed to fail before it gets to the other side. We either change the horse or we will drown with it.

    0-baka said today that if Congress doesn't get the debt ceiling raised by the end of the week we are going to have to start cancelling "things". Good. His vacays would be a nice start. Butt oh no! He says his daughters are more disciplined than Congress thereby putting them on display yet again - this is the sign of an uncaring parent. He dumps them to play golf too.

    0-baka read off a laundry list of things that will have to be cancelled, like the weather service. Nowhere on the list was cancelling his expensive vacays (Bush was a cheapskate on vacays compared to this jerk) or trimming his growing population of czars. Spending more on bombing Libya is OK, spending more on 0-bakacare is OK. Giving money to union thugs is OK too. Making illegal campaign videos in the WH is OK. Butt we absolutely must cancel the weather service if he doesn't get a raise in the debt ceiling that we cannot afford and that he voted No in one of his rare votes as a senator.

    If we had a responsible media this numbnuts would be chased out of the country by a huge mob armed with nothing more than pitchforks, axes and torches. If the media honestly reported this thief's dishonesty and criminal abuse of the law we would have no trouble getting impeachment proceedings started.

    Instead the media plans to do a slime job on Michelle Bachmann's 23 foster children. These people are beneath contempt. Maybe we should run the lamestream media out of the country as a first step toward getting the country back on the right track.
    Arrrgh!

    “Instead of spending, I have been taking all my disposable income and paying off debt. I have a good job and have disposable income every month. But I have decided that I am not buying anything not absolutely necessary in protest of the Obama economy. Not that my single participation makes any difference, but who knows how many of me there are out there?”
    This could actually work to unseat BO. Consumer spending was way down in May. It’s a good way to protest the gov jerking all of us around. Of course, it would be a good idea to let other blogs know about it. Tea Partiers would most likely get behind this. Oh, and contact your Reps to let them know. It would certainly get their attention….what do you guys think?

    Many of the birdies have already voiced they are doing the same thing...only necessities...nothing else.  The economy will be the key to the election...

  54. We live at the back of a huge development. There is this teeny tiny little bit about a half block that they have been fighting to keep from opening up. It goes directly into another developement but about a mile away hits a brand new on/off ramp.

    Last night there was a townhall to discuss and show the results of the modeling and such. In front of us was a woman who walked in with an attitude of this will never happen! My DH wanted to engage her and I had to hold him back! Told him just to wait to see what the city had to say. Well every possible scenario that you could think of had been run through the computer to show results. Each and every test showed that the overall traffic to our neighborhood would remain residential and that the benefits to firetrucks and ambulances would be considerable. A neighbor of mine just died this week from a heart attack, that hit home. Those 7 extra minutes he had to get to the hospital might have made all the difference.

    But during the hour we were there this woman shook her head vehemently at each and every 'truth' the speakers gave us. "OH NO, there will be 18 wheelers going through neighborhood! The poor children on bikes will be in danger!!" It's a two lane, tiny 30 mph road, how many 18 wheelers will there be? Especially when they showed the travel time through the neighborhood would take longer than the main road! But OMG you should have seen her when they said the traffic going by the school would be nearly 2000 cars LESS!!! NO, THAT'S NOT TRUE!!!

    I swear her head was going to swivel off her neck. You can not force people to see the truth with their lieing eyes.

So refuel those Air Force intercontinental transports; load 'em up with chocolate covered strawberries and French champagne; we still have lots of places to take Grandma and the kids before we're kicked out of office. What? You say that I shouldn't be flitting around the world at my subjects' expense, when many can't afford to buy bread? Let 'em eat cake. That's what I meant, when I advised those young girls in Johannesburg to aim high — go for the cake, instead of the bread!"

    I'm so sick of this "Palin is stupid" meme. Just because the media has been raking her over the coals nonstop ever since she came to national fame, and just because they're giving her all the scrutiny they should have given O'Bamster, and just because they're so desperate to find dirt on her that they make shit up and present it as fact and blow what they DO find way out of proportion...that doesn't mean she's stupid.

I want him to fail, I want him to go down in flames, there is NOTHING he could do that would ever change how I feel about him. I would rather suffer until the election through his continual flubs than have him do anything that could give him a legacy other than the bad one he's created. Hate him?

  70. I, too, have cut back on spending.  Having worked in the "beauty industry" I will never need another lipstick, etc., in my lifetime.  Clothes and summer sandals have been coming to me as freebee's via my part time job...wear on the job to encourage sales of items.  Happy to do so. 

    I have been stocking up on staples, especially coffee...no more from the coffee house; Trader Joe's is half their price and I have been buying extra for my daughter and son's households.  My biggest expenditure has been to pay for a fence and gate for a fairly large vegetable garden my landscape designer grandson has planted on his parents property.  Happily, it was quite a bit less than I anticipated and of course, grandson contributed the labor.  That is my son-in-law's birthday present butt we will all benefit and he and his brother will inherit it eventually (I hope). The built on property with their own well, 2 modest houses with solar so they are completely off the grid.  It's important to have as much of your own fresh food as possible even if you have to do it in containers.  I've cut out the extras on Cable...my complex pays for Basic Cable...included in my lease.  Haven't been to a movie in many months partly because I don't want to support the Hollyweird crowd, partly because the subject matter is vulgar most of the time and partly because there was a gang shooting outside the multi-plex a few months back.  I don't need it. 
    Guns and ammo next.  I watched Glenn today and Robert Kiyosaki's advise on Rich Dad, Poor Dad web page...they all agree...we're headed for bad times.  Everyone should read this link posted by a survivor of the Argentine government collapse...truly scary but necessary to put everyone in a state of reality.

    Remember when you could go out for a few hours and just 'float' ?
    I used to end up in book stores and stationery shops, not the local bar, which might have been more fun, but to each his own. When my 2 youngest were babies, I would go to the drugstore, look at make-up and flip through the magazines after their father got home..
    Simple living, unthinkable these days, with everyone attached to their phone..
    I still remember being in a department store and seeing a woman talking to herself, everyone was looking at her, until she turned and we saw her phone, there were a lot of raised eyebrows, she seemed so rude.  I guess it's progress, but I miss those stolen hours.

None of my kids, age 22 - 31 (between them and spouses or girl friend/boyfriends, that is 9 young adults) and none of us has an Iphone, Ipad, and only 4 computers between us all, and just 5 cell phones. WE would rather read a book, go fishing, walk, talk to each other, or just stare at the views. Real humans still exist :)

  73. MOTUS, I fear your problems with iPhOtus are only the beginning.

     In recent weeks it's becoming clearer that Americans are ready to turf out Barky,Mooch, and the whole crew of miscreants and grifters in the 2012 election.  

    Butt what will become of Barky as a post-President?  Never fear.  Barky and Mooch have spent their lives since they left the law firm on the public teat, er, sacrificin', and that will not change.

    It's clear to some of us that Barky has always viewed the Presidency as a necessary step on the way to his real goal.  This will come as a surprise to many Americans who imagined they were bestowing on Barky the highest honor in their power by making him President.

    Can I tell you Barky doesn't see it that way?  He's kind of embarrassed at being President of the US -- a white, European, Christian Capitalist rich  country.   Hence the bowing & apology.  

    His real goal -- I don't think I have to tell you -- is to be the Secretary General of the United Nations -- something he regards as far more important than merely President of the US.

    Now, as we know, the UN is a cesspool of third-world dictators, anti-Semites, Communists, terrorists, Eurotrash, failed states and guilt-ridden whites.  It's Barky's natural home.

    Unfortunately, Barky will never reach this goal, because he's an American.  Not much of an American, but enough that he will never be the Secretary General.  That position is reserved for an America-hating, Israel-hating Third world kleptocrat.

    Butt.  There's a tradition of American First Ladies serving as the US Ambassador to the UN.  Eleanor Roosevelt, for example.  Somebody else -- Hillary?  Rosalynn Carter?

     Anyway, perfect for Mooch.  I think there's a residence that goes with it, which is good, since the Obamas have not paid for their own houses for about 20 years.  Lots of parties, receptions, New York City, etc.  Barky will have time to hire somebody to write his memoirs (I think Bill Ayers is available since his university denied him emeritus status since he is, well, a terrorist).  

    I  don't think you will be needed at the Big White after 2012.

    At the UN, though, you will be needed, along with TOTUS, AOTUS, iPhOne, and, of course, the Simultaneous Translator.

     As we know, neither Barky nor Mooch speaks a foreign language.  In Mooch's case, this includes English, so there will have to be translation from the original Ebonics, including her trademark grunts, barks and body language.

    Good luck and good riddance, is all I can say!

  74. I don't dislike Sarah, but Bachmann is more presidential material IMHO. And yeah, I'm envious of her toned arms.

  75. White cotton pants that have to be dry-cleaned. To paint in. Isn't our Mooch a practical gal!

  76. You've got the principle wrong, Noelle. Once you've got paint on them, you just keep wearing them over and over as your painting clothes. I had an old red shirt that was my painting shirt, and I was mending it with safety pins whenever a seam came undone. Eventually it became a paint rag.

  78. How much vacay time does a rep to the U.N. get ? Do they ever have to speak 'off the cuff' ? Can they go sleeveless ? These are important considerations in Moo world. Not to mention that she would have to be appointed by our future President, currently named "Anonymous Republican."
    Same questions from Zero as Sec. Gen. except for the sleeveless part.
    To be serious for a moment, I have long held the belief that he's after some position on the World stage, and that is why he treats Muslims with kid gloves, and approaches Israel with a sledgehammer, to hell with the consequences for Americans.

  79. Big Guy's State Department recognized the Muslim Brotherhood -- http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0611/58094.html -- Yep, I guess his anti-Israel agenda was moved back to the front burner.

  80. Made in China - oh, like the Bay Bridge? Hey, even San Fran Nan sees the benefits of paying someone $12 for an 11-hour day rather than fork over union wages.

  85. We are getting the guillotines together.  We aren't at home, so we don't have our usual tools.  I hope nobody minds that the blades aren't very sharp . . .
