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.
Thanks!!
YEAH!!
RE: 847: If you enhance your collateral circulation, everything turns out well!
I hope that’s not how you plan to celebrate your birthday!
I’ll have a small potation in your memory after I take Tom to his science-team meeting.
LOL!
Maybe i should change it, eh?
*ohno*
“And don’t you ever show your ‘onkey face around my castle again, y’heah?!”
Kathleen’s in a cute new outfit with cows on it. 3-6 month size, so it will fit for a while. She’s outgrown so many adorable things already ... but at least two of the Mexican ladies are expecting in April/May, so I can pass them on. Neither has a young daughter presently, so they probably don’t have piles of pink baby clothes around.
One of the homeschool association families had a little girl on February 29, but their previous daughter is just 3 - same seasonality - so I doubt they need new things. I’ll ask before I take them dinner on whatever day I signed up for, anyway ... just in case. Their baby was 8-1/2 lbs., like Kathleen.
Well, okay then. I'll tell them to put it on your tab.
You said you were good for it.
Happy Birthday, youngster! Have you gotten any taller?
“1/x = x+1”
I don’t get that.
That’s one sick kid.
Check the last picture again. Or isn’t George Clooney your type?
Hey ColdOne. Nice to see you.
Dogs are a gift, eh?
Silentgypsy, is the current Crowbar emergency over? I hope he’s OK.
(In my best Marilyn Monroe voice)
Happy Birthday, to you!
Happy Birthday, to you!
Happy Birthday Mr. HKMk23!
Happy Birthday, to you!
Thanks for the daily kitty intelligence reports TC!
How’s the family? Is it warm there?
I don't prejudge the character of a person by his appearance or the amount of money he has or his academic degrees.
In the case of documents, I judge the best I know how, using whatever information I can find.
I'm not prejudiced, but I'm no fool either. Nearly everything important about Barack Obama is being hidden from me. If there is nothing to be ashamed of, what's the big deal? I want to see official records and documents, addresses, test scores, medical reports, and anecdotes from friends and teachers.
When my daughter went to work at a nuclear facility, she was required to have a low-level security clearance. I give you my word of honor that the questions she and I were asked far surpassed anything reporters have asked of Mr. Obama.
Mr. Obama and his sycophants have nearly dismantled our republic in three years, and we hardly know him.
The family is fine, and yes, it is warm. 80 today, supposed to be 84 tomorrow. We’re starting on yard and garden cleanup from the winter.
What are you going to plant this year?
A possible answer could be Pat.
That is, you "golden" meant to say ...
You said you were good for it.
Aye, an' workin' to improve on that condition.
Have you gotten any taller?
Aye, but only betwixt me bowsprit an' binnacle.
