Dispatches from Birtherstan - 30 November 2011

And in today's dispatches, we have the expected birther freakout about the Congressional Research Service report. Which very few of them seem to have actually read. The Pest and eFail publishes a piece from a "College Student" that would have gotten an "F" in an elementary school civics class.

Dr. Orly writes about her upcoming rejection in Georgia, while she is told by the State of Hawaii just how the cow ate the cabbage. Southern Poverty Law Center reports on Joe Arpaio's birther whine. And Alabama is home to a new birther ballot challenge, complete with recycled lies and myths.

Dispatches from Birtherstan - 29 November 2011

Normally I would have waited until tomorrow, but today was such an interesting one I thought I'd go ahead and post it now.

The first is a new Congressional Research Service report that does a very good job at slicing, dicing, and making julianne fries of many birtherstani legal "arguments". Including pinning the de Vattelists to a wall. It's unlikely they'll do anything but ignore it, but it should give some ammo to judges, Secretaries of States, and ballot board officials in shooting down some birther nonsense.

We have video of Holy Cao in the wild. New Hampshire once again tells Dr. Orly "No", though her next stop seems to be Georgia and Hawaii. We have a new birther lawsuit by someone who claims not to be a birther, but seems to be well acquainted with their nonsense.

And Lawrence Sellin comes up with a brave new idea - to spam New Hampshire elected officials!

Dispatches from Birtherstan - 26-28 November 2011

In today's dispatches, Miki Booth wanted a pony, and ended up with an ass. More info comes out about Bill Looman and his militia and birther ties. Sam Sewell seems to adore the truth-free blatherings of Tracy Dorsey.

What little patience the New Hampshire GOP has for birthers seems to be running out, while the media in that state calls the elected birthers out for their behavior. Zampolit Dean Haskins finally returns home from his extended sugar-daddy funded road trip with new and exciting news that he can't talk about or share.

Swiftboat liar Jerome Corsi seems to be digging deep under the birther outhouse to find old nuggets that he can polish up and claim as new. Douglas Vogt takes a break from selling copiers to channel news from planet conspiracy. Finally Carl Swensson tries to play the New Hampshire gambit in Georgia, and includes some of Stephen Pidgeon's literary droppings as additional fertilizer.

Dispatches from Birtherstan - 24-25 November 2011

Sorry for the delay in today's dispatches. Unlike Dean Haskins or other birthers, I actually like spending the holidays with my family.

In today's dispatches, Bill Looman makes the press for his anti-Obama hiring sign. What doesn't make the press is his birther connections and militia ties. Thomas MacLeran wants a WHITE Christmas, preferably with Muslims dangling from the holiday tree and red stains on the snow after the military overthrows the government.

Squeeky Fromm has a song for Walter Fitzpatrick. Tracy Fair has a new video that isn't nearly as entertaining though. Lawrence Sellin is upset at New Hampshire because they let the scary black man stay on the ballot. Dr. Orly continues to pine over Chief Justice Roberts. Voto Latino makes a few observations about Dr. Orly's jihad.

Dr. Orly files her appeal in one of her Washington DC cases, and the Conway Daily Sun has a few choice words about their elected birther population.

Dispatches from Birtherstan - 22-23 November 2011

In today's dispatches, video of the extended birther temper tantrum in New Hampshire. Lawrence Sellin once again practices sedition. World Nut Daily uncovers a Thanksgiving plot.

Dr. Orly can't seem to take "go away you psycho beast from hell" as a hint, and ends up turning the crazy up a few more notches as a result. Meanwhile, New Hampshire elected leaders are far less than happy with the elected birthers in their state.

Meanwhile the State of Hawaii shows their patience with Dr. Orly has come to an end as well. Dr. Kate wants something that sounds a lot like a military coup. And Dr. Orly continues to appeal her 2010 loss to Damon Dunn.

Happy Thanksgiving people. Don't let the birther turkeys wear you down.

Dispatches from Birtherstan - 19-21 November 2011

Oh my goodness, what a busy weekend in Birtherstan. Tim Adams writes more fiction. More reporting on Dr, Orly's failure in New Hampshire, complete with racist comments in the now-censored World Nut Daily comments.

Dr. Orly lies, and the Pest and eFail eats it up with a spoon. Meanwhile people throw a tantrum over the fact the election board followed the law, instead of getting the scary black man off the ballot. Dr. Orly not only starts screaming "TREASON" at anything that dares look at her cross-eyed, but also starts with such fun terms like "execution" and "death penalty" as well.

Thomas MacLeran shows up at Birther Report, and an anonymous birtherstani lies about yours truly in the process. World Nut Daily comes up with an updated ebook version of Corsi's remainder bin special, making people wonder why their kindle or nook is suddenly full of digital doodoo.

We have video of JB Williams addressing his Veterans Against the Constitution failure. Dr. Orly gets a whopping 2% of the New Hampshire State House allied with her, much to the annoyance of that house's majority leader. Sher Zieve finds a PUMA even more paranoid than she is.

Zampolit Dean Haskins won't be home for the holidays it seems. Terry Lakin gets officially booted from the Army, and announces his vanity press book that looks to be 20% Terry Lakin, 80% birtherstani commentary, and 100% full of bovine fecal material. And seditionist Sharon Rondeau gives us an update on Walter Fitzpatrick (short form - he's still nuts).

Dispatches from Birtherstan - 17-18 November 2011

(Sorry I didn't get this out earlier today, had to help a friend who fell sick)

In today's dispatches, well, the majority of the reports are the various lead-ups to Dr. Orly's trip to New Hampshire to demand that that scary black man not be allowed on the ballot. The Pest and eFail, World Nut Daily, and Birther Report all reported on it.

And the result. Well, it's Dr. Orly, so you can guess what the Election Board's decision was.

In other news, Victoria Jackson has a web based talk show called "PolitiChicks" which can only be described as "embarrassingly awful". Leo Donofrio makes Yet Another Change to his blog. And Ann Barnhardt may have discovered that there's no real market for a crazy conspiracy-ridden racist broker.

Dispatches from Birtherstan - 15-16 November 2011

In today's dispatches, World Nut Daily tries to cover for Herman Cain by digging up Larry Sinclair and trying to pimp him out again. The natives are restless about "why hasn't Sherriff Joe done something yet??" The Great Orange Satan writes about The Great Moldovian Dingbat.

Birther Report has some restlessness about Zampolit Haskins. Lawrence Sellin does believe in rank stupidity, he does he does. Dr. Orly continues to pimp her New Hampshire stunt (and she wants money too).

Martha Trowbridge is either a) seeing just how stupid the birthers actually are, or b) is completely coo-coo for cocoa puffs. However, Mario Apuzzo seems to like her brand of crazy. And Thomas MacLeran is starting to notice people shying away from the crazy birther.

Dispatches from Birtherstan - 10-14 November 2011

I decided not to post dispatches last friday. I didn't want to tarnish Veterans Day by reporting on birthers and their ilk.

Anyway, in today's dispatches, Comedy Central makes fun of Dr. Orly. Swiftboat liar Jerome Corsi makes more claims about Joe Arpaio, while Arpaio continues to play flirty games with the birthers. Zampolit Haskins preaches to the infidel birthers, while hinting he's about to start up the birthers next failed lawsuit.

Lawbreaker Linda Jordan does a whiny letter to sheriffs in Washington State. We have several reports about the 150 or so people at the Veterans Against the Constitution rally. Even the most die-hard birtherstani are disappointed by the turnout.

Lawrence Sellin still has a hatred of the GOP for not getting rid of that uppity darkie in the WHITE House, and is threatening to take his vote and go back to his home in Helsinki. Thomas MacLeran writes an article that can best be summed up as "Duh, a lie, a pack of lies….."

We have a meeting of the narrow, delusional minds at Dr. Kate's cesspool. Dr. Orly tries a new tactic in New Hampshire, while demanding that other Republicans stay OUT of her race for Senate, thank you very much. And we have the death and resurrection of Larry Sinclair.

11 November 2011

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

- Dr. John McCrae, LtCol, Canadian Expeditionary Force
