Half Empty and Still Full of It.

Official news from the Western White House: we were on duty yesterday in an effort to  make it perfectly clear that we are on a working vacation. After Big Guy signed the Stalking Awareness Month proclamation on Wednesday, yesterday we visited the shrine room at the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor, pausing for a moment of silence and taking part in a petal ceremony in honor of the 1,177 Arizona crew members who died in the Dec. 7, 1941 attack.

For the occasion Lady M chose a new designer frock in fresh eco-green with a gray and white stripey mid-section, and black trim. We complimented the look with one of our signature mini-me sweaters:

Earlier in the day, Big Guy – who never just lazes around - worked out at Kaneohe Marine Base. Here he is, returning to the compound with that look of satisfaction on his face that nothing other than an exhausting work out can give you:

bo pretty boy

Although, I have been wondering about some of  Big Guy’s facial expressions lately. Could I have been reading him wrong all this time? Could it be that he’s not really the upbeat optimist that we all thought he was after all?

glass_half_full

Could that big trademark smile actually be a mask of his true feelings?

              obama-laughingobama-smile

        Presidente Optimista…   

                  bo kennedy ctr awdscandyman bo

Could Big Guy actually be a closet pessimist? Mitt Romney seems to think so.

"When the president's characterization of our economy was, 'It could be worse,' it reminded me of Marie Antoinette: 'Let them eat cake,'" Romney said, referring to the infamously dismissive remark toward the poor attributed to the queen.

"This is not a time to be talking about, 'It could be worse.' It's a time to recognize that things should be better,"

I guess that could explain some of those scowly faces we’ve seen sneak across his face from time to time.

              r199451018poutwtf2

   or Presidente Pessimista?

             bo poutbo now what

So now I don’t know. Is Big Guy a glass is half-full sort of guy, or a glass is half-empty sort of guy? Frankly, I think he’s practicing a more moderate position in order to appeal to independents:

pout sarahNot so much a full-on smiley-smiley for the Left, nor a total scowly-rebuke of the Right: more of a moderate grimace of complete disdain for all

BO seems to have found a more moderate pre-election position to take on this: he is going to declare that the glass is completely full: half water, half air.

tumblr_ld6iytgAsC1qztk9mo1_500And you didn’t thing Big Guy knew anything about science!

The air half is designated for the little people; just one more reason for the EPA to block any activity that creates any more air poisoning carbon dioxide.

In keeping with this theme of reducing our carbon footprint, an alternate strategy for approaching the half-empty/half-full glass dilemma might be to just cut back on the materials required to manufacture the glass; we could mandate that from now on glass manufacturers just make the bottom half of the glasses. Since we don’t foresee ever needing the top half again anyway.

That’s sort of how we solved our troublesome unemployment situation: we just stopped counting all those people beyond HOPE who gave up and stopped looking for a job.

So don’t think that Big Guy’s just lazin’ around here at the Western White House: he came up with a new WTF 2012 campaign slogan all on his own:

obama-drinking-beerIt’s Miller time! Bottoms up!

Whatever. The glass will still be full.

  1. Once again the greusome twosome show up for a photo op dressed TOTALLY INAPPROPRIATELY!  What kind of a green getup is mooch wearing?  How disrespectful, to desecrate the final resting place of our brave War Dead.  May they rest in peace.  Those two fool no-one.  
    Barry and his many freaky faces are just TOO neausating for me.  When he's grinning he looks drunk as a skunk.  He mostly looks evil, even when he's grinning!
    I think we need a cute face to conteract the fugliness of the lst fruit, and grifting grinch.
    Happy New Years Eve, MOTUS, to you and yours!

  5. After all the plastic surgery that (wo)man has had and she still looks that ugly with out make up, I would say she is not getting her $$'s worth. I thought plastic surgery was supposed to improve your looks? I guess it's just like putting lipstick on a pig.........it's still a pig!

  6. When engineers are faced with the glass-half-empty-or-half-full scenario, they usually go with saying that the glass has simply been over-engineered, so it is working as-designed.

    Then there is my problem.  I have the darndest time finding tea mugs that are large enough for a decent amount of hot tea.  Finally, in desperation, I have gone to drinking out of wide-mouthed quart jars.  Since they don't have handles (and there is no easy way to put a handle on a quart jar), I cut up an old sock, at about where the heel is, and slip that over the quart jar.  I drink HOT tea, and the sock also acts as an insulator.

    Here's a dose of cute: Maggie in her sweater. She's been in heat this week, and warbling and rolling around like crazy, and a friend told me that if I put a sweater on her it would help calm her. It works like a charm, but I don't know why. (We are planning to get her fixed)

    Man, that is some mean-looking hair on Michelle.

  9. The photo of MO at the memorial reminded me of the old meme "rode hard and put away wet".  If she isn't hung over, then I'm up next for a shot at a Grammy.  I know what "hungover" looks like.

    MO looks like someone dressed her, grabbed one of Sasha's sweaters by mistake, combed her hair hard and sent her out the door.  Is First Granny in Hawaii?

    As to whatever that is Mooch is wearing - I'm utterly speechless.

  16. The MOo outfit is outrageous.  So, is the over skirt thingy part of the dress or added after the fact.  Either way, it looks ridiculous.  Where are her handlers?

    If BOo spends so much time working out, why isn't he gaining some muscles?  It seems to be working the complete opposite on him.  Skinny little runt.

  17. When I lived on Oahu, I visited the Arizona Memorial frequently.  It is a place of sadness and remembrance.  You can look in the water and see parts of the rusted out Arizona.  I always said a prayer when I was there.  To see these two grifters desecrate this place makes me sick to my stomach.  He looks like he just THREW the flowers in the water.  I'm sure a prayer didn't cross their lips, unless it was to Allah.

    Ditto everything that has been said about m00's UGGGly dress. "frocky horror show"--LOL!

    Where are the girls? I hope to goodness they have visited the memorial before, but they can't be reminded often enough of what REAL sacrifice is.

    As an Okie, I sometimes think people forget there was another battleship lost that day. Has b00 ever visited the memorial to the USS Oklahoma, which finally opened on Pearl Harbor Day 2007?

    That's what kills me about Michelle. She knows she's going to be photographed, and that's the expression she wears?  I've had my share of unfortunate photos taken of me--looking into the sun, mouth open, etc.--but that particular photo of her makes her look malevolent and/or not too bright. "Michelle smash!"

    Yeah, I lobbed you a softball there, but with a White House and administration that has been so much about surface over substance, you'd think someone would have taken her aside for a word. Clearly not her mother: Mama's got an even worse repertoire of facial misfortune.

    I'm still of the opinion that the wighats must not travel well. Maybe cabin air pressure causes them to blow up, like the old urban legend about breast implants.

  38. What is amazing to me is that King Putt who reportedly has the hardest job on the planet has a relatively smooth face.  She has two lines between her eyes as deep as the Grand Canyon.  All that work and injections can't fix that fugly face - heh, heh!  And she better stay out of the sun - she is starting to look like MOTUS's opening picture seated next to Carla.  She looks so mean!  No wonder he drives to a gym to workout.  Why don't they just load up the equipment on one of the cargo planes.  Also, the place has a swimming pool - go do a few laps Hawaii boy and save the thousands of dollars spent driving your skinny ass to the gym.

  41. Noelle, I don't think cabin pressure has too much to do with it.  I think the more likely explanation is that Lady M is too plastered whilst she's sacrificin' on the vacay to put the wighat on.

  46. I find much better things than that at Goodwill.  It looks like she cut up one black dress, one green dress, and added the black and white dish towel so she wouldn't have to worry about dirtying her dress when she eats like a pig (no offense to pigs, who are very intelligent, affectionate creatures).

    Meanwhile, I am disgusted beyond words at the disrespect shown to those who were lost... and the survivors.  Uck.

  49. Can somebody research this dress? Did she buy it at Target or is it the usual $2000 jobbie?

    Also, is there a "sarong drape" at the waist or did the dress get twisted around under her too tight sweater?

    And, is this considered color blocking? I can't think of a more unfortunate thing that putting blocks of large prints on a hugely fat woman.

  66. MOTUS, I have really missed you, Raj UpNorthLurkin, srdem, and all the other wonderful people who read and contribute to this blog.  Two weeks ago, my mother-in-law fell in our home.  I wanted to call 911, but she hates hospitals, and told me that if I did, she would never speak to me again (which would be very uncomfortable for me, since she lives in our house).  I found two aides who were willing to come in, and help us change her.  I also found a doctor who makes house calls.  Last Friday, her condition degraded to the point that I did call 911, which turned out to be the right thing to do.  She has kidney issues, diabetes (which is a new diagnosis), and a very high white blood cell count.  She also had a very severe bladder infection.  MOTUS, if I had not taken her to the hospital last week, she would not have survived the Christmas weekend.  Thankfully, the doctors who are working on her case told me that they are of the opinion her medical issues are reversible.  She needs surgery, but the doc who is scheduled to perform the surgery told me that her chances of survival are really excellent.  I have her in a private room in a local hospital so that my wife and I can spend several hours with her everyday.  Since she is frail, and gets confused at some points during the day, I also hired private aides to be with her around the clock.  When she is released from the hospital, I will continue with the private aides.  All this stuff is very expensive, as you can imagine, and I already told my wife that we will need to take out a second mortgage on our home.  Still, I feel very fortunate that God has smiled on my mother-in-law.  I also feel fortunate that, at the end of the day, I can sit down with a glass of Jack (no ice), and read this blog.  You guys are keeping me sane, entertained and informed.  Godspeed, MOTUS.

    ReplyDelete
  87. Wow, such great advice!  Thanks to all of you who commented about my silly complaint.

    However, I am in a small New Mexican village.  We don't have access to the normal retail outlets or amenities such as thrift stores.  Well, we do have one thrift store, which is open for an hour on Thursdays, i believe.  And quart jars with handles used to be sold, but alas, the only ones available are 16 oz ones, which is only a pint. 

    The reason I even thought about using quart jars is because I drink at least 4 quarts of tea per day, and sometimes up to 6 quarts of tea.  My husband does the same.  Since we live at 7400 feet, we lose a good 2 quarts a day just to the air.  A large tea container means fewer trips to the kitchen, and fewer times to heat up water in the tea kettle.

    Another reason for using the canning jars is beccause of the cats.  I know, you're wondering what cats have to do with tea.  Well, the little darlings seem to be attracted to brownish liquids, and try to stick their heads down into the glass or jar.  When that doesn't work, for them to get a taste of it, they do what cats normally do in those situations . . . they use their paw to scoop up a little, and then lick it off of their paw.  This propensity of the cats has led both my husband, and myself, to use lids on our drinking jars, and thus foil these fell felines from fouling our tea.

    And, in my case, putting an old sock over the outside acts as a disguise, and the cats are not as attracted to the liquid.

    However, you are all very kind, trying to help me be normal, and have normal drinking containers.  I remain an unrestrained geek engineer of dubious taste in anything remotely civilized.

  103. A Christmas miracle that she is still with you....add my prayers for her recovery. I will also pray for you and the Mrs. as caring for an ailing parent is a blessing though not an easy one. I was with my Mom at the end and will be forever grateful that I could be there.

  104. Yes, qestout, the antibiotics have helped.  For the first few days, she was on two IV antibiotics.  Now, she is on the same antibiotic that I am on for whooping cough (b/4 I see her in the hospital, I take an OTC cough suppressant so that the docs don't know how sick I am.  Otherwise, they would never let me see her.).  Her infection is clearing, and I owe all this to God.

  114. A.men, one of my college suite-mates was first runner-up that year. You should've heard her comments on the other girls.

  115. May the Mayans be somewhat correct, and 2012 be the "End of an Error" as we boot Bumbling Barry Oblamo and the First Mooch to the trashheap of historical failures.
