Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona is bound and determined to make sure we never forget the embarrassment of the birther movement. Most of us would love to put that ugly little racist blip in our history -- a time when conspiracy theorists and fools alike accused President Barack Obama of not being American. But Arpaio, a sheriff in Phoenix, Arizona, just won't give it up.
Can we say beating a dead horse, people? Sometimes it seems like certain politicians just do things to help out Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart, and Bill Maher. After all, how else does anyone explain Arpaio's inane and insane assertion that Obama, a man who produced his birth certificate last year, isn't American?
See his ranting [here].
"Forgery or fraud may have been committed," says Arpaio. Ooooh no! Are ghosts and goblins real, too, Sheriff Arpaio? How about the Loch Ness Monster? Do you go visit old Nessie on your days off from enforcing the laws of Arizona?
In all seriousness, this is vile racism plain and simple. In a place like Arizona, it's no surprise -- after all, many politicians there (including Arpaio) hold rather Draconian views on immigration -- and it's disgusting. And it's getting old fast.
For all you doubters for whom book learning was apparently a challenge, here are the facts: President Barack Obama was born in Honolulu on August 4, 1961. He has produced both a certificate of live birth during the 2008 campaign and the long-form certificate last year. Neither has been disproved.
So why is this still going on? Arpaio seems like a joke, but, according to Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt, Republican Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney doesn't think so. Yesterday LaBolt tweeted:
Romney has called Arpaio for his endorsement, his aides called "weekly" and Arpaio was his honorary Chair in 08.That's embarrassing. The fact is, most people agree Arpaio is a few cards shy of a full deck, but here we are still talking about him. Is this an alternate universe? Why am I guessing this guy is the type of person who stays at parties hours after they have ended asking for more chips and guacamole? Dude, the party is over, the ship has sailed, and you are beating a dead horse.
Sadly, there aren't enough cliched ways to say IT'S OVER to make it any clearer to this guy.
I speak fluent LOLcat.
Evidently, some people cannot be trusted to post messages when hungry.
That being the case, it's surprising there aren't more posts about sex.
Oh, sorry.....I thought you blew a head gasket, or supthin..

My pleasure. Be sure to use the correct size pan. I have this pretty rose-petal patterned tube pan and it was a little too small for the volume of batter. It mushroomed over the edge of the pan, and Mr. Sg trimmed and ate the mushroom shapes so it wasn’t possible for me to offer any to our neighbors—the ganache wouldn’t cover the wounds lol!
Hey, Teach! You remind me of pirate treasure—you gotta sunken chest.
Good evening. Very busy day here. The Epic Fail Lawn Service mowed.
I will either mop the kitchen floor or take a shower, for my next activity.
If you choose to do both, mop first.
Hep! Hep! Iz having wierdy fings! Dey luk laik an inbisible life! HALP!
Off to the side and down.
I did.
The old Volkswagen Beetles never had that problem.
True, and they had good cat-sleeping spots.
Meanwhile, the drumbeat of Bolshevik Dictator Baby-Doc Barak continues to grow louder - - - .
