I forgot to add that, after four months of extensive research on what makes an image look like a forgery, apparently Factcheck took it all to heart, and recreated the forgery using proper graphical techniques that do not show signs of forging.

In their article of August 16,"Born in the U.S.A.", Factcheck made a special homage to me and my research findings when they said the following:

The scan released by the campaign shows halos around the black text, making it look (to some) as though the text might have been pasted on top of an image of security paper. But the document itself has no such halos, nor do the close-up photos we took of it. We conclude that the halo seen in the image produced by the campaign is a digital artifact from the scanning process.

Other than being referred to as "(some)," I feel deeply honored...if not fully vindicated ;-)

I see the Fact Check border as a pasty imitation of the real deal.

I find the absence of the seal on the early issues of the forgery followed by the magic appearance of the seal on the FunnyFotostm to be every bit as miraculous as the Shroud of Turin.

In sum, we have no proof of That One's provenance.

He might, for all we've seen, have been conceived in Cuba, delivered in Kenya, recitizened in Indonesia before coming home to roost in the TUCC.

This shape-shifting reptile changes before our eyes.

He says he's 250 years old; then says 200.

His running mate says hes not a day over 150--but Little Bily Richardson aka Crisco Kid says 120.

"Touch him where we may, Watson, he is false," observed Holmes.

The birth announcement--like his visit to Ramstein--was phoned in.

Canter forged the Goldwater-Birch Putsch--a little downstream Rose-Axelrod forged That One the Transformer.

The more pertinent documentation exists in Prairie Fire

JBS founded by Welch whose candy company was on the north side of 38th at Fall Creek, east of Vonnegut Hardware at Pennsylvania, Kurt exposing the Cat's Cradle:

Here is the Obama Cat, here is the Obama Cradle. . .

Polarik has shown them both to be a shell game where there is no pea.
