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.

Yeah, I get that a lot.
Best of luck!
Off hand, I'd say yes...

Off hand, I’d still say yes...
Also the sign on the door was 2nd Grade but could spell it like that on a test. There is no logic in this. Sentence diagramming was cool but you could not use it on a history test.
There is no crying in baseball and there is no "except after in math. This has nothing to do with grammarlogicallistics.
Sometimes I think teachers got together and made up crazy rules just to see what they could made us do. In 4th grade we all had to go stand in the front parking lot for fire drills. This was crazy, if there were a real fire we would all be run over by fire trucks! They made up lots rules. If there is only one way to spell a word why do they have more than one to spell a word? oh look a shiney object?
The middle one showed up, and boy am I pissed off! Japan's not full of giant feline robot nympho high schoolers. They're actually becoming rarer as time goes by.
Easy on the china.
On the plus side the Welsh allow you to use a “w” as a vowel...

To: Beaten ValveWhen Pelosi, Reid, and Schumer heard that Cheney had gotten a heart transplant, they said:
Pelosi: I wish I had a heart
Reid: I wish I had a brain
Schumer: I wish I had a life
The Wizard, Obama, said, You dont need a heart, a brain, or a life. Ill take care of all of those for you. You dont need to think, care, know, etc. Its all in my new list of executive powers which I just signed.
You just do what I want and youll live happily ever after (until one of my death panels has to deal with you, my pretty).

Yay, Kathleen! She’s becoming a big girl!
You make so much sense.
Definitely.
Starting the day with prayers up for Darks! At least one typso every day in his honor.
Good morning, y’sll, and have a great Sunday!!

Well, why not? They say Adolf Hitler was fond of puppies, while Mohammed was kind to cats.
I agree with all that. Especially the part about getting run over by a truck.
Hey, look, a robin!
