One of the birther factions -- apparently there's more than one, even though we have always thought of them as a single amoebic mass of crazy -- is starting some hilarious shit about the GOP's anointed son Florida Senator Marco Rubio with claims that he is not a "natural born citizen," because he has Cuban parents (the fashionable birther argument du jour is to declare the existence of anyone whose parents were not born in a white country to be totally unconstitutional).
Birther argumenst are like quantum mechanics: the results are perfectly predictable, but they defy common sense. And as Feynman didn't, but would have said, "If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don't understand quantum mechanics."
Sigh. A dozen unqualified douchebags running, everyone complaining about the absensce of a decent candidate, and all it does is inspire more unqualified douchebags to run. It will never dawn on them that it's not possible to kiss teabagger ass AND be qualified.
Have we considered the possibility that "Canadian Free Press" is our northern neighbors' version of The Onion? Those Canucks can have a supremely droll sense of humor, when they put their minds to it. (i.e. between NHL seasons.)
But he'll be having food fights with the faction who want the US to go back to 1890. And of course, the faction who want to go back to 1860 will have none of it.
What is it about old, vague documents that attracts these nutters?
At least you didn't guess DeNiro.
You know things are getting out of hand when you need a taxonomy of American crazy.

That's bad news for Chester A. Arthur -- his father was Irish, and didn't become a US citizen until Chester was 14.
Oh well -- you go into an election year with the nuts you have, not the nuts you wish you had.

That boy is a real scholar, and a credit to his BrightFarting colleagues.
Yeah ... like nobody else would be concerned about this dipshit's "clarifications."
On the internet, nobody can tell you're a dog ... but somehow we can still spot the idiots.
I think the typical Floriduh resident regards South Beach as an "offshore island."
...As long as he's not "loving his vegetables" as well.

Maybe here... but try finding one on the BrightFart site.
Obama/Macduff 2012 !!!
Xtine for the first one, obvs. Who's the second?
(Bachmann is scary for the wrong reasons ... I can't see her as a witch.)
It's trickier than you might think, Mr. Bot. Even "Born in the USA" doesn't always count.
Big Lebowski win.
