It was a year ago that the White House released the long demanded "long form" of President Obama's birth certificate, silencing all critics and reminding Orly Taitz that her ill-gotten 15 minutes were up.
Or not.
Of course it was a forgery, based on "layers".
The only layers that I saw were the layers of hatred, self delusion, mendacity, and utter stubbornness piled one on top of the other when that missing piece of evidence, that smoking gun that would prove that President Obama was not born in Hawai'i proved that President Obama was born in, ho hum, Hawai'i.
It must have struck them in the same way that the followers of Reverend Camping were forced to admit his error a month later when Judgement Day did not occur, despite the
meticulous calculations of a radio preacher. How sad it is to be one of the few to "know the truth", only to find out you were wrong all along.
So it is with WMDs in Iraq, austerity budgets destroying the economies of Europe, and the certainty that Romney will not win the GOP nomination because we have Palin, Gingrich, no, Trump, no, Bachman, no, Perry, no, Santorum, no, Gingrich, no, Paul.
Self-delusion, thy name is legion. But some of the favorites are tea-party, GOP, and birther.
Sorry to not include the obligatory pictures of the birth certificate in question, or the O Rly bird, but I am on my phone. I also regret that I won't be able to participate much in the comments as I will be driving.
