You all do realise that this birth certificate stuff is just basically insane, right?
Ever since the Dan Rather "kerning incident", the low grade wingnut psychos see "forgeries" everywhere, like fundies see Jesus in their burnt toast.
Of course, in the case of Dan Rather, the forged document was a Karl Rove dirty trick, and the evidence of forgery was given to wingnuts in advance so that they could expose it for publicity.
Somehow, I don't that's operative here.
Speaking of propaganda, yesterday afternoon MSNBC ran this chyron:
Obama: Bush's third term?
Fred Hiatt wants to be Reich Minister of Propaganda and Public Enlightenment.
There is no other plausible explanation.

you are correct. even the repubs don't want mccain to win.
they don't however want too large of a landslide, and they want to keep the turnout down to protect senate seats as well as they can.
low turnout ALWAYS benefits repubs. that alone should tell us something about our democracy.

I have a copy of my birth cert. However, a few years back when we were dealing with packing away my mother's stuff, my ex spirited away the hospital receipt for my birth (my mom had kept it).
The receipt was for 68 dollars, plus my folks had made a deposit of 75, so they got change back. This cracked up my ex.
She had it put in one of those fancy chmancy box frames along with a photo and the little bracelet thingie.
Hobby Lobby charged her almost twice as much for the framing job as it cost for me to be born..

Heh...via HuffPo:
Some of President Bush's allies tell the Political Bulletin they are embarrassed and angry that the White House seems to be wasting Bush's time on frivolous events when much of the country is suffering through economic hard times. "Look at the schedule for Monday," says an outside Bush adviser. "A highlight of his day was witnessing a tee ball game. ... He is being reduced to child's play." The adviser says Bush also signed a supplemental appropriations bill for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan on Monday, but he adds that it didn't get much coverage and that the tee ball game set the wrong tone. There is growing concern among Bush allies that the Democrats will effectively portray the President and GOP candidate John McCain as out of touch. Some GOP insiders now predict that the Republicans will lose at least five seats in the Senate and 15 to 20 in the House, and it could get worse if gasoline prices continue to soar and the public remains in a disgruntled mood.
Zap! you bastard!

Bush is what past GOPer Presidents wanted to be, but were never allowed to completely get away with.
Any resistance Bushco might have felt to his policies was eliminated by 9/11. As a result, we got to see the radical face of conservativism in it's pure form for really the first time, at least at the presidential level.
How different things would have been without 9/11.
Consider such non-obscure points as John McCain is pro-life and has said he wants to appoint judges who will restrict abortion rights, whereas Barack Obama is pro-choice.
Well, not really.
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama says "mental distress" should not qualify as a justification for late-term abortions, a key distinction not embraced by many supporters of abortion rights.
ADVERTISEMENT
In an interview this week with "Relevant," a Christian magazine, Obama said prohibitions on late-term abortions must contain "a strict, well defined exception for the health of the mother."
Obama then added: "Now, I don't think that 'mental distress' qualifies as the health of the mother. I think it has to be a serious physical issue that arises in pregnancy, where there are real, significant problems to the mother carrying that child to term."

We know that five men don’t know better than women and their doctors what’s best for a woman’s health. We know that it’s about whether or not women have equal rights under the law. We know that a woman’s right to make a decision about how many children she wants to have and when—without government interference—is one of the most fundamental freedoms we have in this country. We also know that there was another voice that came from the bench—a voice clear in reasoning and passionate in dissent. The voice rejected what she called, quote “Ancient notions of women’s place in the family and under the Constitution. Ideas that have long been discredited.” Unquote. One commentator called the decision in Gonzales, “An attack on Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s entire life’s work.” And it was. But we heard Justice Ginsburg and we know what she was saying. She was saying, “We’ve been there before and we are not going back. [Applause] We refuse to go back. [Applause]”

I'll have you know, I left that one as a slow pitch right over the plate.
My 4th of July (so far):
Went over to the Old State House (in Boston) and stood where the Boston Massacre took place and listened to a member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillary Company (oldest in the Western Hemisphere) read the Declaration of Independence.
Walked over to Faneuil Hall and listened to the Revolutionary Middlesex marching band play the fife and drum.
Walked toward the water front to see Old Ironside do her annual turn about.
Approached the intersection of North and Cross Streets. Boston policeman stopping traffic. I waited on the curb to find out why the traffic had been halted. Cop wouldn't say anything, except "dignitary."
Helicopters overhead, then at least 10 Boston motorcycle cops emerge from the tunnel and out onto Cross Street. Then limos with the American flag and the vice presidental flag. And then right in front of me DICK CHENEY passes by in his limo followed by a gazillion black SUVs.
I walked back to apt. thinking I had just heard a document read that denounced a tyrant, and then had the misfortune to see one pass by on his way to swearing in new citizens at the Charlestown Naval Yard.
Sigh.

Well, Terry, rich women will be able to find a doctor to describe some bad physical reason why she can't go through with the abortion. Michelle Obama can get one. Some poor woman with three kids whose husband walks out on her when she's 8 months pregnant and out of a job -- she can just suck it up.

Stupid question: under such medical reasons, is the procedure still considered an abortion? It's the same thing in the end, yes, but under legal aspects and all, is the same term used?
I'm gonna repost what Prof Wombat had said on an earlier thread, because it's fucking super:
Re: Obama
Lookit. Been to the left of everyone all my life. I'm used to it. So it isn't surprising to me that I'm to Obama's left, and that i'm urging him to tack left rather than to a benighted idea of the center. But he's basically OK, and far, far better than McCain, and, better yet, still a bit unformed as an actor on the national stage.
Keep the pressure on, but, simultaneously, give him a bit of a break. He's running for president in a country where the names of Richard Clarke, Valerie Plame, Eric Shinseki, David Addington, Hans Blix and Jack Abramoff would draw only blank stares from a majority of the populace. I wouldn't do it the way he's doing it, but I'm not unmindful of his circumstances.

Third trimester abortions are very rare and are only being done due to extreme medical reasons. The nut cases want to frame it as wanton murder of babies to inflame public opinion.
Yes. For example, in cases where the fetus is going to die in utero anyway, but waiting for that to happen will jeopardize the health of the mother. (Including the mental health of the mother, for rather obvious reasons.)
One contributing factor in decisions to do intact extractions is sometimes that the mother wants a chance to say goodbye.
Stupid question: under such medical reasons, is the procedure still considered an abortion?
Not stupid at all. Yes, they are considered abortions. One of the worst aspects of this whole mess is the nut cases legislating medisal terms IE *partial birth abortion* and dictating what doctors must tell their patients.

NOT happy with my candidate right now.
Not at all.
Today on the presidential campaign trail
Obama struggles to explain how his trip to Iraq could refine his policy on US presence there ... McCain calls campaign staff shake-up part of "natural evolution" ... Obama says 'mental distress' not valid for late-term abortions
GWPDA,
Well, you haz a checkbook, and I haz a checkbook, and I haz a bottle of Stoli.
To say that I am disappointed is an understatement. Good thing I have Ralph Nader to remind me why I shouldn't sit on my sweet ass and let Mr. O run as far towards the fundies as humanly possible.
What really frosts me is: it never works. People who hate them some abortion are going to vote for McCain, who has promised to put anti choice judges on the court. If I were anti choice, that's what I'd do. So Mr. O sells women down the river and doesn't even get shit for it. If I'm not going to be anything more than a bargaining chit, hell, I'd like to be used in a worthwhile manner.
Well, they're not obvious to Obama.
I tend to think that hadn't occurred to him, rather than that he's obtuse about it.
It hadn't occurred to me when I first read his statement, but then I am feeling awfully stupid today (i suspect the jet lag is catching up.)
Third trimester abortions are very rare and are only being done due to extreme medical reasons. The nut cases want to frame it as wanton murder of babies to inflame public opinion.
Exactly. The nutcases think women are coming in for abortions in the 8th month because, for example, their husbands walked out.
I can't believe that Simels posted "Urgent" on his blog.
That's completely uncalled for.

Or, that we sit around and wait till the final trimester and then decide "Hey, I think I will get a late term abortion....just for shits and giggles!"
If these small rodent puns continue, I'm guinea (pig) hamster turn you into newts.
No, it's not really a pun. I just wanted to say "beaver."
Beavers gnaw.
A statement of fact.

McCain calls campaign staff shake-up part of "natural evolution" ..
McCadaver's "campaign", if you can call it that, is devolving, jack.
WOLVERINES!
The nutcases think women are coming in for abortions in the 8th month because, for example, their husbands walked out.
And, by "nutcases", you apparently mean Obama.
If I were 8 mos pregnant and my husband walked out, I'd have an abortion so fast your head would spin.
Now that Jesse Helms is dead, what skeletons are we going to find in his closets?
A multitude of illegitimate black children.
If these small rodent puns continue, I'm guinea (pig) hamster turn you into newts.
That would be shrew-d of you
The whole country hates Bush and all the ideas associated with Bush and Obama spends weeks resurrecting criminal ideas.
Get this shithead out of the Democratic party, he's worse than Lieberman.
Yep...we're still doooooooooooom'd.
he's obtuse about it.
I don't care if he's obtuse, or stupid, or if, as I suspect, he's willfully and cynically selling women out. The result is the same.
It's a Deal Breaker for This Intelligence Officer
Submitted by Ray McGovern on July 3, 2008 - 11:11pm.
Dear Senator Obama,
I speak from 30 years of experience in intelligence work. I don't know who actually briefed you on the eavesdropping legislation, but the bill is unnecessary for intelligence collection and POISON for our civil liberties—not even to mention the unconscionable retroactive immunity provision.
You have made a big mistake, Senator, in indicating you intend to vote for it. There is still time to change your mind. That's what big people do.
Your penultimate paragraph seals it for me. What you are saying relies not on principle—and still less on respect for the law, or respect for our Constitutional rights.
What I hear you saying is an all too familiar refrain: "Tough s___, progressive voter. You know you've got nowhere else to go. You want McCain in there?"

Murder? Well then people should be arrested for that! And put in jail and then killed, in jail! It's the most Christian thing to do!
I come from a family of very hard-core pro-lifers. I had in my home the books of fetuses in trash cans. I went door to do to get signatures for a pro-life petition as an 8th grader. I'll never forget the black woman who WON'T sign it and told me why. Thank you whom ever you were for giving me a different perspective.
I think that what makes me especially upset is that the woman who is "pro-life" is also for capital punishment, for the war in Iraq and for G.W. Bush. That the woman is my mother makes it even harder.

Now fuck off.
Per my comment at Simels' place:
I just introduced my 2.9yo daughter and her 5.5yo friend to "Urgent." Both are now scarred for life.
Your concerns are duly noted.
If only Jim Parkey were here to tell us what HE thought of the situation.
They never fucking learn. GOP meme #1: Democrats Don't Stand For Anything. People will vote for you even when they disagree on some things if they think you're the sort of person who believes in something and doesn't back down.
From the AP [flips off AP]
Analysis: Obama's centrist emphasis gives GOP ammo
BUTTE, Mont. - Is Barack Obama close to being shadowed by giant flip-flops and, worse, having the image stick with people all the way to the voting booth? Four years ago, Republicans branded as a "flip-flop" even the slightest rhetorical or policy change by John Kerry and sent huge replicas of the casual sandals to bob around the Massachusetts Democrat's events, feeding an image of him as a wishy-washy panderer. Fair or not, Kerry never recovered and lost to President Bush.
It's now the Republican weapon of choice against Obama.
The Illinois senator has excited many with the notion that he is a new, transcendent type of politician. But he is giving the GOP effort ammunition and endangering his "Change We Can Believe In" motto with several shifts to the center, most recently on the Iraq war, his campaign's defining issue.
*sniff sniff* I smell an elephant in PUMA clothing.
he's willfully and cynically selling women out.
Jeebus fucking crap, Hecate.
Fuck this...I'm not gonna sit here for the next four months and listen to this "willful and cynical" bullshit. The guy's running to the center, and yeah, we're pissed.
But he's not President. And if the piss and moan session, as opposed to the "tell him how you feel" session is gonna prevail in this election, then we don't merit a Democrat this year.
you can't re-foosa suchlogic
Don't try telling that to a Wookiee.
Okay, who else just went looking for "Klan sheets?"

We haven't used turtles in awhile, and failing that we could always come up with a new one.
The guy's running to the center, and yeah, we're pissed.
Zap, I don't disagree with you in general but he's not running to the center, he's running to the right. The American public is pro-choice, anti-Iraq war and wants affordable health care. When you start to fudge these issues, you think you are gonna pull in votes from the right, not the center.
Okay, who else just went looking for "Klan sheets?"
Hey now! Section 4 (B)3a(1) of the Sheets code states:
"racymind doesn't know what she is doing"
Now you know...

You're not voting for Obama, you're voting against McCain.

Yes.

the difference between a newspaper op-ed columnist and a blogger?
the newspaper columnist only writes one or two columns a week in a dying medium. the blogger writes daily (or hourly) in a brand new format that reaches millions instantly and makes newspapers look like slow-motion updates from the pony express.
oh, and the bloggers are dirty liberal hippies whose hands don't smell like cologne.
so yeah, i understand why the paperboys are getting a little nervous.
You're not voting for Obama, you're voting against McCain.

I don't know that, but I'm talking about the folks (presumably "us") that have buttered his bread.
This is exactly why I reposted that comment upthread by ProfWombat. He's spot-on in the fact that we're gonna be disappointed no mater who gets the nod. But we haven't even had a debate yet, let alone a pick for the Veep. We're not dunnfur...not by a long shot. Hold his fucking ass to the fire. That's what we've got to do with everyone in office.

That's pretty much it in many cases. It wouldn't be the first time liberals pulled the handle for someone who they didn't like all that much only because the opponent was much worse. If that's the reality we face in November then fine, so be it. If we are cynically being dumped with the idea that "where are we going to go?" will get him our votes anyway, he's right, he'd have to get a hell of a lot worse before I'd stay home.
Meanwhile the stupid public is being played like the stupid public they are and if we get too loud about it the guys who are playing the stupid public just start shouting "Hey! Those liberal elitists think you're stupid! But we know you're really the bestest and most real of real Americans ever. Yes you are! Yes your are! Whose a smart voter? Whoes a smart voter? Dyess,joo are. Num num num."
Zap, I agree. Remember only luby thinks he's the messiah. We realist must remember they all are politicians.

Excuse me, but this is exactly how Rovian tactics work. Obama's position on Iraq is exactly the same wishy washy crap today that it was in December. His position on health care is not changed - and I think it is good. His position on choice has not changed as far as I can tell. The GOP is creating stories and relying on a supine press and six-year-old-soccer level "left" to raise the alarm.
quick, tell me what this means before my computer crashes. I have a P4 whitebox running XP home edition. It is about 6 years old. every so often the screen goes white then I get scrolling vertical lines and have a hard time regaining the desktop. Is this the hard drive going up in flames, or some other problem? Often the drive will spin and spin for no obvious reason. I reloaded the O/S the other day but it doesn't seem to have helped.
Any advice is appreciated.

"we hate snappin' gyros"-WaPo
I'm sure someone in the 400-plus comments above mentioned the obvious answer to your question -- most Post op-ed writers, and certainly the Kraut, serve the purpose of supporting the Republican/corporate status quo.
And truth is incidental to that prime imperative.
