Happy 85th Birthday, Jimmy!

By Baxter

Former President Jimmy Carter, still going strong at four score and five years, celebrated his birthday today by reopening the Presidential Library and Museum at The Carter Center.

We cats can't wait to see it — because our will says that The Carter Center will get everything after we depart for the Rainbow Bridge. So a trip to Atlanta is definitely somewhere in our future.

We're particularly looking forward to seeing the added exhibits on Mr. Carter's unparalleled post-Presidency. We're so glad that his work to wage peace, fight disease and build hope earned him the accolade Nancy Reagan most desired for her (undeserving) husband — the Nobel Prize. (Yes, folks, we're that catty. Surely you're not surprised.)

So, big kitty PURRS and warm, scratchy kisses to President and Mrs. Carter on this special day.
