Short Bus's Obama Birth Certificate Defense Is Officially ZOTTED
The Stir ^ | 3/2/12 | Sasha Brown-Worsham

Posted on 03/02/2012 9:17:36 AM PST by Short Bus

Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona is bound and determined to make sure we never forget the embarrassment of the birther movement. Most of us would love to put that ugly little racist blip in our history -- a time when conspiracy theorists and fools alike accused President Barack Obama of not being American. But Arpaio, a sheriff in Phoenix, Arizona, just won't give it up.

Can we say beating a dead horse, people? Sometimes it seems like certain politicians just do things to help out Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart, and Bill Maher. After all, how else does anyone explain Arpaio's inane and insane assertion that Obama, a man who produced his birth certificate last year, isn't American?

See his ranting [here].

"Forgery or fraud may have been committed," says Arpaio. Ooooh no! Are ghosts and goblins real, too, Sheriff Arpaio? How about the Loch Ness Monster? Do you go visit old Nessie on your days off from enforcing the laws of Arizona?

In all seriousness, this is vile racism plain and simple. In a place like Arizona, it's no surprise -- after all, many politicians there (including Arpaio) hold rather Draconian views on immigration -- and it's disgusting. And it's getting old fast.

For all you doubters for whom book learning was apparently a challenge, here are the facts: President Barack Obama was born in Honolulu on August 4, 1961. He has produced both a certificate of live birth during the 2008 campaign and the long-form certificate last year. Neither has been disproved.

So why is this still going on? Arpaio seems like a joke, but, according to Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt, Republican Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney doesn't think so. Yesterday LaBolt tweeted:

Romney has called Arpaio for his endorsement, his aides called "weekly" and Arpaio was his honorary Chair in 08.
That's embarrassing. The fact is, most people agree Arpaio is a few cards shy of a full deck, but here we are still talking about him. Is this an alternate universe? Why am I guessing this guy is the type of person who stays at parties hours after they have ended asking for more chips and guacamole? Dude, the party is over, the ship has sailed, and you are beating a dead horse.

Sadly, there aren't enough cliched ways to say IT'S OVER to make it any clearer to this guy.

Is the world ready for NnB clones?
The question should be: Can the world do without NnB clones?

Good morning. The tent setup went reasonably well, although Kathleen got in a gripe and howled at the Cubs. She’s feeling better this morning.

Going to church later to practice for Sunday. I need to organize music!

There was a recipe for sourdough starter in a compilation of articles written by Amy Dacyczen (sp?). Book title: The Tightwad Gazette. It not only worked, the bread cost less than 25 cents a loaf (not including utilities, but she tells you how to figure it out.)

If everyone were like me, they'd still annoy me.

F'rexample; the people driving ahead of you are slow-pokey idiots, while those behind you are speed-demon maniacs.

Another point, every time I'm ready to curse a moron for not using his turn signals at the intersection, I'm not using my turn signals at the intersection.

It would be a humbling experience, but I tell myself I'm nothing like them.

Turn signals are a sign of weakness.

Time for the early early morning nap (as opposed to the early mid-morning nap.) See y’all later!

I’ve been making sourdough starter since I was 29, and have recipes for muffins, bread rolls, and even donuts. All surprisingly delicious.

I have a Tightwad Gazette and several other books of the same ilk. I don’t like things with lots of preservatives. My personal belief is that is why folks have the odd health problems they do today: ingesting preservatives and other man-made ingredients from the foods they eat.

Just my opinion.

NEEDING turn signals is a sign of not being able to discern another driver's intentions.

I hear you. And talk about trying to get a job when you’re pregnant? Lol!

I hired a very visibly pregnant woman.

She turned out to be one of my best hires ever.

Organ music has always been the 1st choice of 9 out of 10 mad scientist. I have observed this from the movies. And that while organization skill seen to be common among this class of scientist, it is end the end at lest part of their down fall. They also seem to prefer Bach.

Absent mined professors witch are always scientist it seems. Can their be be an Organized absentminded mad scientist? I have never heard of an absentminded English professor in the movies.

I think I did have a English teacher that was mad. He did have a PHd but taught at a Jr. College so we didn’t call him prof. He was always concerned about things like being mad at someone is totally different than being mad. That and all the grammar errors he found in Mad Magazine.

Also being mad about something is also totally different than being mad about someone. When your mad at someone it is a bad thing, but when mad about someone it is a good thing. I find this madding witch is totally different than the last examples. You would think their would mad English professors out there. Maybe they are out their writing the movies about the mad science professors in a plot to cover up their own madness. I think I should call Micheal Medved about this!

Should I call him when he does the movie reviews or on conspiracy day?

Hi! Back from practice, next thing is the hairdresser. She should be here any minute, and will start with Bill.

I will get my hair cut again on Tuesday or Wednesday. The stylists keep trying to cover up my big scar, and that makes my hair too long to behave.

So when I go this time, i will tell them to cut it the same length as the front. After all, I don’t have to look at the scar...;o]

Scar ‘Face?

Literally. I was in a car accident in ‘69, and was left with 52 stitches from my upper lip, the length of my nose and onto both eyelids. But like the scar on my head, I don’t have to look at it, so I don’t care!

And don’t feel bad. It bothers other people far more than it ever bothered me. ;o]

I saw ‘Face up close in real life and didn’t notice a scar at all. And I wasn’t all that drunk, really ... not for a whole week ;-).

I just got my hair shortened at the back where it was looking silly. The front can wait until May. Tom’s was thinned, so it no longer looks like it’s going to get up and climb a tree. Bill’s, however, is so Stylish that words are failing me.
