Hi folks!
It has caught my attention that many of you are still sore over sparring with linfar from times before my sad mugg showed up on this stage. Not long after I came here, MyDD also drew my attention. I, too, had my moments of, er, "entanglement" with her and others who were fighting unrestricted warfare on behalf of their candidate there.
Some of those folks were sitting ducks, some were a challenge. Some of them tried my last shred of nerves. linfar was no doubt among the most trying to pit myself against.
But guess what? She's back, she's on our side and I couldn't be happier.
Birth Certificate Will Not Show Virgin Birth!!
This would be hilarious if it were not so sad. Hillary supporters have joined the GOP-backed madness swirling around Barack Obama's birth certificate. In their zeal to defeat Barack Obama Hillary supporters have become the latest dupes in a GOP rumor mill discrediting Barack Obama's birthplace--thus making him ineligible to be President.
According to the Online Journal, GOP dirty tricks operatives visited Kenya to dig up any useful "dirt" on Barack Obama, Jr., and his late Kenyan father Barack Obama, Sr. And now they say there is a "smoking gun." About Obama's birth certificate.
Oooooooh. Sounds ominous doesn't it??
Get a grip folks! What they found is a birth certificate from the Kenyan city of Mombasa registering the birth of Barack Obama, Jr., on August 4, 1961. However, the registration is a common practice in African countries whose citizens abroad have families with foreign nationals.
Recognize that tone, dontcha? Grabs you by the yin-yang, doesn't it?
You should all be glad she's on your side, grown up enough to forget the battles past and willing to find your allies where you find them.
I am.
This will not be the first time that someone I did battle against ends up being someone I do battle alongside. In fact, it is precisely those who have been able to stop me long enough to force me to pull out all of my weapons, unleash them in their direction, and still be standing when the smoke clears who are most qualified to be directly next to me when the next adversary pops their sorry ass up over the horizon.
Most of us are old enough to clearly remember what has become - shockingly - the clichè days following 9/11 when we all came together as a nation. Despite how you remember it now, the way that we all came together was nothing like a glib clichè. It was deadly, deadly serious. Having just spent most of a year heaping scorn on President George Bush and the Republican Horde I pivoted like a snake on a hot flat rock. If George Bush himself had called given me a B-52 and a set of bombing coordinates I would have been in the air before my shorn locks had time to hit the ground.
This is not as dramatic a time as that, and it is.
The future of our country is in our hands. More specifically, it is in the hands of those who have been waging the Democratic Civil War until just the other day, and our enemy is the GOP and the Forces of Same it represents. As before, precisely what we were arguing about a moment ago is about as pointless a discussion as Dangling Chads were in the fall of 2001. We band together and we pass ammo to the people we were just sniping at.
Just to remind you of the caliber of the guns our side has, here's some more classically vitriolic snark from the bloodied keyboard of our past and current comrade:
Here's a little snarky take on the whole deal:
Top Ten Reasons Obama Won't Release His Birth Certificate
- Despite the claims of his supporters, it was not technically a virgin birth.
- Full name is Ayatollah Mubarack Hussein Obama-Khomeni bin Laden.
- Actual birth date would reveal he's a Virgo, and those people are %#&*@! CRAZY.
So, drop by MyDD and clink swords with her if you are so inclined. Don't be surprised if you both draw a last drop of blood along the way, you probably both deserve it.

(Oh, the GOP and their cowardly snot-storm about Senator Obama's Birth Certificate? Pathetic and weak.)
