RIP Jimmy

Goodbye Mr Carter. I think that, in fairness, we can only describe his presidency as a mixed bag of some really good things but more kind of awful things, and a job he ultimately wasn’t really cut out for. Also in fairness, he did the best he could in the years that followed to make up for that. Hilariously, he also managed to outlive the writer of the above obit, with a note at the end advising the latter died in 2021, and from what I’ve seen on Bluesky this afternoon there’s at least two others in the same boat… I’ve known for years that news organisations have these prepared years in advance for particularly notable people, ever since this outstanding incident of 20+ years ago, so they can just roll them out when the subject pops their clogs; for the subject to live longer than their obituarist, though, is something I imagine is kind of rare. Anyway, RIP James Earl the younger; for all the things you got wrong, you’ll be remembered far better than any of your successors so far, especially Mushroom Cock.
