Four Years Hence And It’s Still The Same As It’s Ever Been
Michelle Obama's Mirror ^ | 9-1-2014 | MOTUS

Posted on 09/01/2014 7:02:34 AM PDT by NOBO2012

I was Inspired by Bijou’s posting of Doktor Zoom’s tweet yesterday:

So because I’m feeling lazy this Labor Day, and because it’s been nearly 4 years to the day that I originally posted “Once in a Lifetime”  I decided to repost this classic from my vault. Be sure to turn the music player on, it’s way more fun that way:

“Once in a Lifetime”

Originally posted August 30, 2010. I think you’ll remember the occasion:

This is so-ooo embarrassing. Here I am, thinking that the strange dress that looks like it’s already been caught in the rain was my biggest problem. So naturally that’s what I focused my circuitry on, the dress; I failed to consider the whole frame. Nor did I feel I had to as the one thing Big Guy is really good at, as a rule, are the visuals, so I totally was not ready for this:

Vanderleun even gave it a musical reference, in case you missed the point:

You may ask yourself
How do I work this?
You may ask yourself
Where is that large automobile?
You may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful house!
You may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful wife!

— Talking Heads, Once in a Lifetime 1984

Inspired by Vanderleun’s insight, I took the opportunity to illustrate the long version, with music - in case you still don’t get it:

Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...

Same as it ever was...

Like I said: with Big Guy, it’s all about visuals.

Wow! 4 years later and everything - the economy, the national debt, the confusing strategies - is still…same as it ever was, only worse. Especially the Jimmy Carter part: apparently both he and Big Guy still believe that Israel is the only thing standing in the way of peace on earth good will towards men.

carterJimmy Carter, more delusional than ever, at the annual convention for the Islamic Society of North America on Saturday.

*sigh*

Same as it ever was...

Most too busy for church and Bible Study.....kids checking their smartphones and facebook to see who they are and how popular they are....many poor on drugs and alcohol where they beat their kids and spouse, steal at the local stores, see evil rewarded and good mocked....no morals, no ethics, no insurance....and then demand they live well on the backs of those who love God and His country and His world....all equals one big mess!
