    Exactly. How does one explain not having some of this in their pockets? So what? Your ass is just out all day, without spray, coming in close contact with other people's asses, leaving ass marks on chairs, in your clothes, on subway seats, maybe on someone's bed sheets (if you're lucky, eh)...and no spray? How will you ever function with someone knowing that you indeed have an ass, and that your ass does exactly what their ass does in the privacy of its own assness? Some things are only for the imagining. And having an ass is certainly one of those things. Ridiculous. #infomercials

    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.

    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.
