    I find your sense of humor delightful, Pareene, but I shudder to think that some nutjob will come upon this post and use it to bolster his/her assertations that Obama should not be president.

    So for all you birther nutjobs out there: THIS POST IS A FUNNY. JOKE. PARODY.

    Yes, I'm talking to you, Orly Taitz.

    Just like with every infomercial, you get double the crazy, plus a set of steak knives, if you call in the next 10 minutes.

    I got a copy of my birth certificate 3 years ago because I needed it in order to process a passport application. My birth certificate from Minnesota looked exactly like the one Obama has produced.

    The people at the center of this shit know they're making it up. That's certain. But what they're doing is appealing to this notion a great many people have that you can still routinely get copies of the handwritten, long-form birth certificates made at the actual time of birth. In most cases, as states begin to make digital records, you can't even get a copy of that anymore.

    Anybody who's skeptical: first off, you're a dumb idiot. But secondly, go ahead and order a copy of your birth certificate from the state you live in. In the vast majority of cases, what you'll get back in the mail is pretty much exactly like the document Obama produced.

    Why are they so reflexively bassackwards? Instead of organizing for 2012, they reach into the past to find a conspiracy to explain why they lost.

    I was born in Hawaii and 2 of my children were born there as well. That green Certificate of Live Birth is the only document I have ever seen used by anyone. When I've needed copies of kids birth certificates, that is the document the State sends me. There is no other option. So I don't understand what else these people are looking for. Anyone able to explain this to me?

    @LunchBox55: What they're looking for is something that doesn't exist. They're looking for validation that the fear they have - of a younger generation beginning to step into leadership roles, of more progressive ideas taking hold and of, yes, a "liberal" black man taking the Presidency - isn't just old, bigoted, fearmongering bullshit. That's my take, anyway. I'm not sure that, at heart, the majority of the birthers really honestly believe that Obama is some sort of super-sleeper agent, expressly programmed to destroy the United States and the world. But, it's much, much easier to see him as this than for what the movement that elected him really is; a new generation taking the reigns, and the older generation's influence waning into history.

    @LunchBox55: They're not really looking for anything existent, per se -- just killing time 'til the Rapture. Think of it as a hobby, like bestiality or collecting commemorative plates.

    @CarlManatee: Interesting. I believe that they are charged for each time the # is called. It definitely ties up the system. I would just like them to get a huge bill from callers that have no intention of giving them money.

    So how does this birther stuff work? Do they give it up after he's been in office two years? Three? What if he's only a one term president? Do they keep asking for his birth certificate so they can try to wipe him from history? Rules, people, rules.

    @Ken Green: From what I gather all sorts of dire consequences are being hinted at if the 2010 elections don't go the teabaggers/birther's way. In essence, they are telling us to vote their way or there wlll be trouble, just as the Founding Father's envisioned America.
