^I love it!

Anyone else have flashbacks to elementary school field trips watching congress pick their "across the aisle buddy" to sit next to?

Stupidest thing I've seen in a while.

So what's the deal on the budget. It it as "slash-and-burn" as the biased sites are indicating?

I had a bout of temporary insanity today and read comments on an article about birther idiocy. One of the comments was either the most brilliant piece of satire I've ever read or....just tragically and infuriatingly ignorant. I honestly can't tell which.

"I don’t believe Obama should be entitled to a double standard. Average working Americans (Democrat and Republican) have to show their birth certificates to work every day. What makes Obama any didferent? Nothing."

I mean, that HAS to be a joke, right? A parody? Someone can't be that stupid. Can they?




Sigh, yeah. They can.

You mean you don't have to show your birth certificate every time you go in and out of your office? Hummm...

I'm pretty sure that the comment meant that every day average working Americans have to show their birth certificate to prove their eligible tow work in this country not that every worker has to show it every day.

Which is true. Of course, they can also, instead of a birth certificate show a passport or social security card which Obama has regardless of whether he's faking his place of birth.

Though now I'm wondering if the president's first day in the White House is spend doing all the first-day paperwork a new job usually entails.

Yes, I read it the same way. But, with 19 other forms of identification accepted as identification for work, it's still a patently stupid statement (without even broaching the subject that Obama has produced the legal equivalent of his birth certificate).

Oh, definitely very stupid (and I say that with the shame that my mom posted her most recent birther links on Facebook just yesterday).

If only the whole birther movement would somehow inspire constitutional amendment to get rid of all of the office qualification requirements listed therein then something reasonable could come out of it.
