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.
The big rigs did their sashay up the Strip from South Point Casino (maybe 15 miles from the Speedway) last night, and as usual, the crowds were wall-to-wall.
I was working when the first NASCAR race came to town. There were a zillion buses taking folks to the track, but only ONE to bring them back...no kidding!
Some days, I feel like I’m in Guy Town, where men are men and Stupidity runs rampant!
If I put myself in the position of the guy ordered to convince the world that I'd scanned some sort of a real birth certificate for Bork Obunga, the very last thing I'd ever do is post some six or seven part pdf file on the internet. I'd anticipate my own mother and grandmother calling me a lying SOB... The ONLY thing I'd ever post would be some pure bitmap image, either a bmp or tif image.
Moreover, any technically competent person that the Bork (Obunga) admin were to give that assignment to would have known that; you have to assume that whoever did that scan and post had to be a near computer illiterate.
Then you ask yourself why a near computer illiterate would have drawn that assignment, and the answer is not difficult. When Attila the Hun died, the Huns killed every member of the burial detail which had buried him so that his grave would never be found. When Genghis Khan died, same thing, to this day nobody has any clue as to where either Attila or Genghis Khan might be buried.
There are some assignments which nobody wants despite any glory which might be attached to them, simply because no amount of money would compensate for the occupational hazards attached to them and being the only person on Earth to know what exactly had been posted on the internet for the benefit of Bork Obunga's continued general recognition as a "natural born US citizen(TM)" is one of them.
My guess is that either Bork himself or some member of his immediate family posted that pdf file.
I fly to reclass on March 25, early morning.
I will be back late on the night of May 24th.
“Kelvin scale”
If I weigh less on it, I’m getting one.
Like I said, I couldn’t find a good video.
Either teh audio stunk or the video was of a stressed out animal.
*sigh*
Though Max at Big Cat Rescue behaved alot like my Mimi did.
Racing around, pawing stuff and generally curious about everything in his path.
Mimi did the same thing with stuff in her way.
Give us a call, when you have no class........
The number would be 273.15 higher...
Kick butt!
You’re brilliant.
LOL!
Well, I’ll become a respectable pirate, but a pirate still.
You can take the artilleryman out of artillery, but you can’t take the artillery out of the artilleryman.
Not yet!
I’ll be in South Carolina.
I doubt they’d appreciate that much there.
*lol*
The scen from Invader Zim where he disrupted Operation Impending Doom just came to mind.
*cough*
Not really, just crazed enough to have such things in my noggin.
Good point!
It might be the coffee....
Yes, that’s true.
But, I’ll be respectable!
[Finally! All those officer’s vehicles we drove off with back in the day.. *cough*]
In the weird but true files: I can’t have that coffee, it doesn’t do anything for me.
I have zero reaction to it.
Maybe it’s a desensitization thing.
Coffee doesn’t do much for me, either.
