With all the crap happening Sunday, Wonkette reminds that Sunday was President Jimmy Carter’s birthday.

Published on Monday, it starts:

Yesterday was Jimmy Carter’s 93rd birthday. (Peace be upon him.) He celebrated it by teaching Sunday school at his church in Plains, Georgia, as he does most Sundays. He didn’t go on Twitter to tell the world what a great Sunday school teacher he is, and he says maybe now that he’s 93, he and Rosalynn might start thinking about putting in fewer hours at the Carter Center, just a little bit. At least, the subject has come up:

“We thought about this when I was 80. We thought about it again when I was 85; we thought about it again when I was 90. So this is a propitious time I think for us to carry out our long-delayed plans.”

Or maybe he’ll wait until the Guinea Worm, a nasty parasite the Carter Center has been trying to send into extinction, is finally eradicated.
