Yeah... It kinda eats up a guys time. You know? ;-)

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.
No worries. Have a great day.
LOL! Why should you be any different than the rest of us?
When I was working I had more time than I do now. ;o]
I’m so glad to know you have so many little ones to dote on. It sounds like you are really enjoying them.
My problem is I’m still working. Grandchildren are wothe the wait. They are God’s reward for not killing your children.
You are correct. You merely said Hamilton was eligible. I did not take the lengthy amount of time it would have to read every post leading up to your assertion.
Big deal. Welcome to FR, if you are just now figuring out people don’t hang upon your every word.
Ha ha! Been here only about 3/4 months less than you, FRiend. Been through all the flame wars and schisms, not expecting anybody to "hang on my every word", just hoping some people do read for comprehension.
You’re correct, of course. I’ve been proudly posting w/o reading for almost 14 years....
It’s not really a question of “reading comprehension” as much as it’s a question of “bothering to read in the first place.” While you’re here, I encourage you to read the other posts of The Undead Thread. There are a lot of really nice people on this thread we’ve hijacked.
IOW...”Don’t be like me!” LOL!
:O)
In case you didn’t realize it, this is the Undead Thread, and we view “longivity” a little differently than the rest of FR. If you wander into one of our threads (we move monthly) then you are most welcome to join us.
We don’t argue here, mostly because there are many other threads for religion and politics.
So if you can tuck those subjects away somewhere, please join us in the Flying Castle. We are currently somewhere in the Asteroid Belt.
NicknamedBob or Darksheare or Dead Corpse can give you the information you need to survive here...just stay out of the Lower Levels. We’re not sure what mutations are down there, now, and it is sheer folly to go exploring alone. Maps are no good as the walls and doors are ... um...rather shifty!
‘Face
Zombies are everywhere. LOL!
Well, they WERE! So were dwarfs and the odd basilisk, and ferocious mutated dust bunnies. But it’s been a while since Dead Corpse has gone into the forges to whip the dwarfs into shape, so we may have things down there that we never imagined!
;o]
Yeah... It kinda eats up a guys time. You know? ;-)
Awwwww....I just gave that baby face a virtual hug!
XOXOXO
Seriously, I wandered in before I realized the Undead crowd had arrived. So solly.
Hey CG and LE.
I rejoined the military.
I head out for MOS training [reclass from 13B to 25B] end of this month.
I’ll be back at the end of May.
Yeah, circuit breaker popped, all the lights went out for a bit.
My missus got beaned in the head by a hummingbird.
We, apparently, were close to a nest.
So we stayed away from that tree for the rest of the season.
You would hear them in the tree doing their bubbling chirps.
Oddly, they wouldn’t atack the cats.
They would follow them, be real nosey about what the cats were doing.
But never attacked them.
Thanks! I often misspell things, but I don’t often catch them before it’s too late. Has to do with my brems, Cisco.
No apologies necessary! You’re most welcome to join this deranged bunch, if you feel so inclined. We never turn anyone away. (Unless they are natural born trouble-makers.)
Yes, welcome abaord Metesky!
Join the fun as we razz the aptly named SHort Bus for posting a semi-literate piece of tripe with unsupported assertions and throw away lines.
Like seriously, they didn’t know that the Loch Ness Monster is a Scot?
;-)
Nothing to be sorry about, it’s perfectly okay to wander in!
If we didn’t have people wander in, we wouldn’t have had an Undead Thread to begin with.
