lawsuits
When we last checked in with Orly Taitz, the Birther movement’s most lifelike paralegal-opthamologist, she was still wandering around Earth, suing the shit out of anything that she stumbled across as she struggled to crawl back to Hell, or possibly some sort of Space Hell. Comical judge Clay Land told her to seriously just stop, [...]
