It seems to have passed unnoticed, but yesterday was the 27th anniversary of Jimmy Carter’s proudest moment:
In 1979 the Swamp Rabbit enjoyed a brief stint of notoriety when one of its number had a close encounter with Jimmy Carter. In April of that year, as President Carter was fishing on a small pond on his farm, a visibly agitated Swamp Rabbit approached his boat and tried to board. Carter, used a paddle to splash water at the rabbit in order to dissuade it from swimming towards the boat. The press dubbed this the “Killer Rabbit.” The incident was captured photographically, and the image is in the public domain courtesy of The Jimmy Carter Library.
Weird as that is, this is Luddite Pillory material.
