#5 Ehud:

Lamentably I rallied hatred against your country and your co-religionists by calling your policies "Apartheid" while conveniently ignoring the terrorist practices of the palestinians. Of course, unlike the recent, regrettable cat incident, I meant to do it.

#6 I like how he had to write the note on official Presidential stationery, 10 years after he was out of office. Classy.

#8 I'm surprised he didn't have his Secret Service detail do it for him so he'd have someone else to blame...

#9 To Sybil

Business memos are perhaps addressed "To" someone, eg "To whom it may concern". Personal notes start with "Dear", or perhaps just the addressee's name dashed off, especially when signed "Love,"

Mr. Carter either was not properly reared, or was well into unmarked senility in 1990. Certainly his use of presidential stationary when out of office denotes a fear that others really don't know who he was.

#10 Great *psychological* insight, TW! What a twisted freak. I've done it before, and I'll do it again:

"I, BA, of the Rantburgian frame of mind, do hereby take it upon myself to humbly apologize to Israel, the United States, Cuba, Venezuela and any other nations whom this creep from my home State has caused pain or anguish upon. Oh, and don't forget the rabbit!"

#11 Actually, the stationary is correct - I have a letter from GHW Bush on similar letterhead.

Letters written during a presidential term is always on White House stationary.

#12 Out this way that would be a socially lynchable offense. People still bring up an 'accidental' errant arrow killing a neighbors dog some 7 years ago - he didn't have the luxury of skipping the country until it blew over either. Big man, shooting a cat fixated on a bird from a lethal shotgun range. This had to be a premeditated response unless he was hunting the birds, using the bird feeder as bait.

Didn't someone famous just get in a lot of trouble for purposefully shooting animals?..
Don't worry jimmah, whoopie has your back.

#13 my dad shot the neighbor's cat with a bb gun because it was eating all of the birds in our yard. I felt very conflicted about the whole thing - poor cat - but he was a bird killer. It only stung the cat and he stopped coming around after that.

#14 Jimmuh is a passive-aggressive snot. Always has been, doesn't look like it will change.

#15 I never realized Jimmah understood gun control as 'hitting what you aim at.'

#16 <Letters written during a presidential term is always on White House stationary.

Agreed, Melvin, but Mr. Carter wrote to that note in 1990. He'd been out of office for a few months beyond a decade by then -- most people would have accepted their changed status by then. Either he was having it printed up for him by the ream, or he'd stolen an awful lot of mementos when he moved out. One wonders if his towels and pillow cases bear the presidential seal as well, and if he had it embroidered on his underthings.

rolf lotp!

...Passive-aggressive personality disorder (also called negativistic personality disorder) is a controversial personality disorder said to be marked by a pervasive pattern of negative attitudes and passive, usually disavowed resistance in interpersonal or occupational situations.

...The term "passive-aggressive" was first used by the U.S. military during World War II, when military psychiatrists noted the behavior of soldiers who displayed passive resistance and reluctant compliance to orders. [2]

Snot:
#1) Nasal mucus; phlegm.
#2) Slang. A person regarded as annoying, arrogant, or impertinent.

#19 Wotta dumbass, shooting a cat with a shotgun to 'sting' it. Everyone knows the right tool for the job is a pellet gun. Or maybe a .223, depending on how bad you want to startle it.

I'm inclined to give him a pass on using the Presidential stationary. He prolly had a few boxes lying around; shame to waste it, ya know.
