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.
I used to be nearly almost normal, but I got over it.
Halp!
(She sez!)
Ha! You’re heads and shoulders better than I, and I thank the Creator for having known you!
You mean like this?
A Walk With God
God and I were walking,
Along the endless sands,
Of the beaches of forever,
On my familiar span.
I had a million questions,
He had one answer, "Yes!"
Whatever's not a small reward,
Is just a simple test.
I try to walk here every day.
We watch the time and tide.
The rhythm of days is lulling,
Just I, and with Him beside.
I have no fear of fortune,
As We are walking here,
For peace and joy encompass me,
Because my God is near.

G’night Bob!
Help me!
Same here : )
I doubt you’ll ever need to use the Kelvin scale.
Help me
I am so helpless when life beats me up.
Dang,
HALP!
The world needs twice as many Fridays, and half as many Mondays.
Somebody work that out.
Kewl! From now on, my calendar will have four Mons and eight Fridays, so the weeks will be :
Mon, Tuesday, Humpday, Friday and Friday.
:o])
And don’t forget Caturday.
Happy Friday, everyone. It’s raining here. I have a migraine starting because I didn’t eat early enough. (Usually I’m fine if I eat by 10:00 a.m.) I had some peanut butter and bananas and a pile of vitamins, so I hope it will go away instead of wiping out the whole day. At least Tom will get to drive if my vision doesn’t clear.
Good effort!
But still too many Mondays, and Fridays shouldn’t come together like that. It defeats the purpose.
Maybe I’ll work on it. In the meantime, mean time. You know what I mean?
Aha, I can see.
OK. How about Mon, Friday, Humpday, Thursday and Friday?
OK. How about Mon, Friday, Humpday, Thursday and Friday?
GACK!
NASCAR is in town! Woo-hoo!
Vrooooom.
