Announcing The 1st, Historic FOM Flyover Fest: YOU Are Invited!!!

Yes it’s true. You have probably seen comments discussing the FOM Flyover Fest (FFF), butt let’s be honest, an event this ginormous deserves its own full post, and thanks to creeper, here it is. Thanks, to the efforts of JLHahn and creeper, you all have a chance to meet, shop, tour, break bread and sample the “Tea Trolley” with your fellow FOMs on April 20-21, 2013, in Sioux Falls, SD! Yup, in the real, physical world!

Saul’s Disciple in the Holy Land

Hoo-wee! There’s no doubt the Mideast Charm Offensive was a huge success. When Big Guy brings his A-game, that old Hopey-Changey magic always works like a charm.

Israeli culinary students HOPE in chocolate! Dark AND white - how cool is that?

For example, whenever Big Guy channels the patron saint of community organizers, Saul “Rules for Radicals” Alinsky, it’s pure magic.

Dreidel Dee, Dreidel Dumb

No wonder Big Guy had to launch his Mideast Charm Offensive: USA Today reports that the U.S is now less popular in the region than at the end of the George W. Bush administration(!).

Perhaps if their reporter had attended last night’s State Dinner in honor of BO they would have felt otherwise. It was, well, charming:

Our Beast of Burden

The symbolism surrounding Big Guy’s Mideast trip is starting to pile up.

First the Beast is fed the wrong petro:

The “Beast” – clean butt not well fed

Hauled away like a common criminal in a no parking zone

This incident recalled an equally embarrassing  incident back in 2011 when it bottomed out with Lady M onboard in Ireland)

They don’t call her old lead bottom for nothing – the “Beast” I mean...(the car)

Through the teeth and over the gums, Look out Bibi here he comes!

Finally, an answer to the question “Why does Congress have such low approval ratings?”

Harry on Senate floor linking Big Guy’s idea for sequestration to the deaths of 7 brave Marines

It’s because they are so despicable. I recommend that they work on that.

Meanwhile, back at the Big White where the ill effects of Big Guy’s idea for sequestration are still being felt:

St. Paul’s Sixth graders shut out of the Big White, due to Big Guy’s idea for sequester

We did however open the doors for our annual belated St. Patrick’s celebration with Ireland’s  Prime Minister Enda Kenny and his wife Fionnuala O'Kelly; and a few hundred friends and relatives. Because as everyone knows, it’s important to maintain really good relations with the country that invented one of Big Guy’s favorite things:

The Obamas Keep Calm and Carry On

While some continue to discuss Lady M’s fantastical Vogue cover, others have moved on to cover the content. For example, here we have 5 takeaways from Vogue’s interview with the Wons.

First Lady Michelle Obama covered Vogue for the second time in the April edition of the magazine and although admittedly the article was as much about her husband President Barack Obama as it was her, there are a handful of takeaways from the interview.

You can read the whole thing if you want, but here are the two most important “takeaways”

#4 “Michelle is no background player”

I’ll say!

Although she’s certainly got the “backfield” covered, I’d say she’s definitely more of a star quarterback.

Cabinet Core Shakeup: It’s Just A Yoke!

Well, now we know why the “the popular spring vacation season”  Easter Egg Spring Sphere Roll was snatched out of the jaws of the Sequester Jester: we needed yet another photo op to highlight the tragedy of people getting “some automatic weapons they didn't need."

Hadiya’s parents with Lady M at the SOTU address

So Lady M is honoring Chicago gun violence victim, Hadiya Pendleton, by inviting her parents to the annual photo op eggroll on the South Lawn, and Senator Dick Durbin is honoring her by writing a new gun bill:

Senator Dick Durbin named his most recent gun bill after Pendleton and is confident it will pass.

The Stop Illegal Trafficking in Firearms Act of 2013, a section of which is named after Pendleton, would call for sentences of 15 to 25 years for straw purchases. It also would create the first federal statute that specifically criminalizes firearm trafficking.

Well, day-um! We’re finally going to prosecute the Fast and Furious crew!??!

International Women’s Day: Lead Like A Girl

You did remember that yesterday was International Women’s Day, didn’t you?

Despite receiving the most votes, I’m sorry to have to remind you that Big Guy is not qualified.

Butt then, you already knew that.

h/t Voice In My Head

Butt do you know who is qualified? Sarah Palin, that’s who.

She brings home the bacon,
