Folks in Plains, Ga. were just delighted - in a respectfully restrained way - when 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."

Very little was known about Carter's funeral plans until then...

I figured it was too late for a Kremlin burial. All his collaboration with the Soviet enemy against Ronald Reagan could not save the Soviet Union... Where are heroes of the revolution supposed to be buried now.

Jimmy Carter's burial will be a fawningly elaborate exercise in fake humility.

I thought he wanted to be buried next to the old gas station where he and Billy used to hang out eating peanuts.

Hit "post" twice... thus double posting. PLEASE DELETE ONE.

You beat me to it. I look forward to Carter's funeral.

[Revenge of Sith]

He should be embalmed.

[i_dont_chat]

I truly look forward to the event.

[Revenge of Sith]

I wonder if a president will ever opt for cremation.

[unkus]

Me too, but I won't watch it like I did Reagan and Ford. For Carter, can you imagine the speakers? I'll pass.

He should be embalmed.

By the looks of them, I think his liver lips already have.

I don't have a problem with being cremation. My husband and I both think it will be a good thing to do when the time comes, however, my mother, hates the idea. She says it is not biblical?

Yes....because you beat me to it!

Carter deserves to be laid to rest in a place befitting his presidency. I's suggest weighing down his casket and sinking it in the Panama Canal.

Oh, we can' do that? Hmm.

Why? We don't own the Panama Canal because Jimmah Carter GAVE it away?

I see.

(using the voice of Sam Kinison screaming): "Ohhh! Ohhh! Ohhhh! Jimmy Carter! You sucked! You were the worst F'ing president in history! You put us through hell!! Ohhh! Ohhh! Ohhh! The interest rates were a zillion percent! You screwed up Iran and the middle east! Your wife and kids were ugly! Billy peed on my leg! Ohhh! Ohhh! Ohhh! You should have shut the F up when you left office? But nooo! You pulled out that stupid F'ing hammer and have not stoped banging for years! Ohh! Ohhh! Ohhh! Go to hell Jimmah! To hell!! Ohhh! Ohhh! Ohhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my mother, hates the idea. She says it is not biblical?

Hmmm...never hear that before. Did she give any reference to why she thinks that?

Folks in Plains, Ga. were just delighted - in a respectfully restrained way...
