Sometimes you just have to laugh. That is the title of a viral e-mail being circulated among right wingers and birthers. To wit:

This picture will stun you. If each person sends this to a minimum of 20 people on their address list, in three days, all people in The United States of America would have the message. I believe this is one proposal that really should be passed around.
The name of the book Obama is reading is called: The Post-American World, and it was written by a fellow Muslim.
"Post" America means the World After America ! , Please forward this picture to everyone you know, conservative or liberal. , Democrat or Republican, Folks we need to be aware of what our president is thinking--or planning
We must expose Obama's radical ideas and his intent to bring down our beloved America!
The book in question? The Post-American World by Fareed Zakaria.
The Post-American World is a non-fiction book by Indian American journalist Fareed Zakaria. It was published in hardcover and audiobook formats in early May 2008 and became available in paperback in early May 2009; the Updated and Expanded Release 2.0 followed in 2011.
In the book, Zakaria argues that, thanks to the actions of the United States in spreading liberal democracy across the world, other countries are now competing with the US in terms of economic, industrial, and cultural power. While the US continues to dominate in terms of political-military power, other countries such as China and India are becoming global players in many fields.
The book peaked at #2 on The New York Times non-fiction hardcover best-seller list and at #47 on the USA Today Top 150 Best-Selling Books list. Reviewers commented that Zakaria's writing was intelligent and sharp, yet accessible to general audiences. A few reviewers also wrote that the book was similar to an extended essay with journalistic style writing.
So at last the birthers have their proof that Obama is a Muslim and a traitor! He even reads Fareed Zakaria!
Seesh. I'm stunned.
