I blame YouTube (Dead Ferret Edition)
education / environment / security
Actually, what I should say is I blame PBS and these idiots.
Obama Birth Documents: Forged
I opened Microsoft Word, set the font to Microsoft’s Times New Roman, then changed it to Times, then changed it back, then typed the rest of the document purportedly from the personal records of the late surgeon Jerry B. Killian.
And my Microsoft Word version, typed in 2009, is an exact match for the documents trumpeted by Robb Allen as “authentic.”

A screenshot of my Microsoft Word document:
The spacing is not just similar—it is identical in every respect. Notice that the date lines up perfectly (well, come on, it’s a little crooked, give me a break), all the line breaks are in the same places, all letters line up with the same letters above and below, and the kerning is exactly the same. And I did not change a single thing from Word’s defaults; margins, type size, tab stops, etc. are all using the default settings. The one difference (the red squiggly lines under the misspelled words) is probably due to a slight difference between the Mac and PC versions of the Times New Roman font, or it could be an artifact of whatever process was used to artificially “age” the document (or could be because I forgot to turn off spell–checking).
There is absolutely no way that this document was typed on any machine that was available in 19–whenever–Obama–was–born.
UPDATE: You know what would really make this post sing? Animation!
UPDATE: Not singy enough. Still needs something. Hmm.
I know!
SIRENS!!!
Take that mainstream media!
Just…don’t ask
environment / religion / security
I don’t know what’s going on here either, folks. There appears to be a panda, Shaquille O’Neal, and…well, that’s about it. I figured I’d make me my own personal Demotivator® and see how that worked out.

Got this in email. Thought I’d share.

Non–gotcha on the Bush Doctrine
Just a minute ago, I was thinking about Sarah Palin’s gaffe over the Bush Doctrine. I was thinking about it, because I couldn’t tell you what the Bush Doctrine was. And I was part of it (got the Bronze Star Medal to prove it).
Seeing her answer again just shows me what I was thinking: she was describing the Bush Doctrine. And so was Charlie Gibson. The non–gotcha comes because they weren’t describing the same Bush Doctrine.
As Joshua Treviño points out, there have been at least ten versions of the Bush Doctrine floating about. And that’s just the ones that haven’t been diluted through the AP. So, while it may look like Gotcha Time!™, it ain’t.
Tigh / Roslin 2008!
I am so not voting for these guys.
Cameras too shaky. Won’t answer tough questions. Probably all Cylons.
And they say good parody is dead…
The election is over
The people–over–40 vote has just officially been decided. And the mommy vote. And the grandparent vote. Although I think the deadbeat dad vote is still in play.
Nine seconds of video that touches even me, in the dark, bitter lump of coal where my heart should be.
ADDED: 37,244,000 watched Palin (about 1.1 million people less than Obama).
ADDEDER: Over 40 million (using PBS’ fuzzy math)
ALSO: Ahem…Sarah Palin (pause for applause)
