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.
Huggy things!
Ta!
Consume what's left of the pi?
3.1416?
3/14 at one fifty-nine and twenty-six seconds.
I woke up in the middle of the night once, and looked at the clock.
It was pi in the morning.
my goodness, no. the whittling chip is a right of passage for *bear* scouts. are you in a pack in which tearing corners off the chip for transgressions, and forcing the scout to re-earn it when four corners are gone is considered 'hazing'? i'd like to have back all of the hours i've spent listening to adults debate the merits and ills of corner-tearing.
As far as I know, our Bear Cubs (Pat was one last year) are threatened with corner-tearing. However, I don’t know if it’s ever happened to any of them.
Did you have any PI?
π
Australia style
I always just use 355, and cut it with 113. It's close enough for government work.
When pi,
Is in short supply,
What do I,
Do?
Well, I conjure a number,
Bereft of my slumber,
And think what a good boy,
Am I?
Solid! A wonderful occasion to celebrate!
I see........: )

most excellent. the golden ratio and fibonacci numbers have always fascinated me.
Same here. Even agnostic people have to wonder.
“...what’s left of the pi? “ Snorkle chortle
Please excuse my ignorance. How did y’all learn about fibonacci numbers? I only recall arithmetic and geometric progressions. What course included the concept?
Don period costumes left over from a low-budget movie? ;)
On the internet.
I read books by Graham Hancock.
There are these numbers, you see, and they seem to relate to everything, so we ignore them at our peril.
This kind of stuff make me question things, and.... Life is Weird, so that was my starting point.
