| Jimmy Carter's front-yard burial plans have his Georgia hometown excited |
| 2007-01-10 |
| No, no, no. Calm down everybody. Not yet... PLAINS, Georgia: Folks in Plains were just delighted — in a respectfully restrained way — when former U.S. President Jimmy Carter mentioned in a TV interview a few weeks ago that he wants to be buried in his front yard in his hometown, where the neighbors still refer to the former president simply as "Jimmy." Which is about all the respect he rates. Very little was known about Carter's funeral plans until then, and many in this little peanut-growing town of 640 people believe his decision to be laid to rest here rather than 120 miles (190 kilometers) away in Atlanta, home of his presidential library, or in Arlington National Cemetery (Carter served in the Navy) will help maintain the prosperity he brought to Plains when he first ran for the White House in 1976. Well I'm glad he brought prosperity someplace when he was president, because it never made it up here... "He knows this will make Plains a tourist attraction for eternity," said Jill Stuckey, who owns the Plains Bed & Breakfast, a half-block from the simple ranch-style home where the 82-year-old Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, live. "Come Piss on Jimmy Carter's Grave: $1.00". Be prepared for lines... In a live C-SPAN2 interview on Dec. 3, Carter said: "Plains is special to us. I could be buried in Arlington Cemetery or wherever I want, but my wife was born here and I was born here. Plains is where our hearts have always been," he said. Too bad your ass didn't stay down there with it... While tackling various international issues since leaving the White House, Carter also has worked tirelessly to keep his hometown vital. I wonder if there's pictures of him in every house? Like Kim Jong Il. Through his efforts, parts of Plains and his boyhood home in nearby Archery, Georgia, are now part of the Jimmy Carter National Historic Site, which is operated by the National Park Service and attracts more than 85,000 visitors annually. Thousands also flock to Plains to attend Carter's Sunday school classes, and he teaches to a packed room. ...probably about them evil Christ killin Jews. Carter credits Plains with helping shape his values. Oh. So now we know who to blame. In the C-SPAN2 interview, Carter said there are also plans for a Washington funeral and a viewing of his body in Atlanta, where he and his wife founded the Carter Center to promote human rights and improve the quality of life in the Third World. Pyongyang all booked up? |

| #16 I bet the all the Islamocommiewannabees are getting nervous envisioning a world without Dhimmi Carter. Afterall, there is no better way to fleece America than get Dhimmi involved. I just hope poetic justic finds Dhimmi in the west bank kissing paleo ass when Ahmewhackjob decides to summon the 12th I-mom with a nuking of the Holy Land. Iran is the crown jewel in Dhimmis legacy. |

| #14 Buried in his front yard??? How vain is this guy? Normally people want to be buried in some nice quiet place, in a tastefully done setting. Man, Lenin and Stalin, Junior. This is really tacky. |

| #10 They could bury him with his rear end sticking up out of the ground so there'd be a place to park a bicycle(?). At least he'd have a use then... FOTSGreg - Who wants to have that smeared on their tire? |

| #5 Yeah, it'll be a tourist attraction all right. Anyone with any brains or patriotism who lived through that bastard's four years of idiotic fecklessness would probably be willing to pay the bucks to go to that worthless little burg just for the opportunity to piss on Jimmah's grave. May God damn him to an everlasting Hell for the evil he did while claiming to do good! |

| #3 Some wit could have a lot of fun leaving some voodoo novelties lying around in its vicinity, like chicken feet, and sketch a few devilish sketches nearby. A pentagram with squiggles in its corners, some cave art type pics. Maybe a roadkill dog or cat. Then let superstitious cracker nature take its course. |
