Dispatches from Birtherstan - 10-11 January 2012

In today's dispatches, more on the Hendershot dismissal. The birthers aren't done with New Hampshire. Cody Judy gives a big ol' raised middle finger to military families. Dr. Orly gets another trip to Hawaii.

The birthers aren't done with Alabama either, with one case warmed over Dr. Orly, and the other bound and determined to really piss off the judge. A birtherstani gets something almost kinda sorta like something that almost came close to a clue once, and suggests that Dr. Orly might not be helping their cause very well.

Dr. Orly goes apedump at any birther who DARES QUESTION HER, while Philip Berg smells blood in the water. Thomas MacLeran gives a unique spin to the concept of "civil rights". Not to mention US History. The Pest and eFail tries to rewrite the entire history of the US legal system, while one of their repeat offenders gets all threatening with the Georgia legal system.

Arizona has Yet Another Birther Bill. And sad news about one of Dr. Orly's plaintiffs.

I have noticed $12 more in tip jar donations from my readers. Thank you for your kind thoughts and generosity. As I said, it's a very humbling experience to know one's words are valued in such a way.

Dispatches from Birtherstan - 7-9 January 2012

In today's dispatches, Right Wing Watch notices that Farah seems to be milking the birtherstani faithful. Gary Kreep tries for an en banc appeal, and Dr. Orly goes "ME TOO!!!". Cody Robert Judy is having imaginary conversations.

We have some commentary about the upcoming Georgia Birther Ballot Jihad, while Dr. Orly further abuses those pre-signed forms. Larry Sinclair's kilt-clad disbarred attorney makes a reappearance in Birtherstan. The Kansas Speaker of the House puts the "KKK" in "Klassy". Dr. Kate continues her journey into the sewer, showing more open racism in the process.

Van Irion shows the common birther ignorance of the Constitution. Dr. Orly whines about people calling her racist by making racist comments. Salon writes about the "Anti-Obama Cult". Al Hendershot has his day in court - and promptly acts the sore loser about it. And old-time birther Harold Sorensen fires the next round in the Alabama Birther Ballot Jihad.

Dispatches from Birtherstan - 5-6 January 2012

In today's dispatches, much like plague-ridden groundhogs popping up out of the holes to vomit forth six more weeks of insanity, we have the first two birther bills of 2012. One of New Hampshire's elected birthers decides to ignore the Constitution and go to a higher source - the Magna Carta.

Zampolit Dean Haskins reveals his super-secret, can't fail Hawaiian lawsuit - and the attorney who crafted it should stick to business and real estate law. Haskins also shows a knowledge of statistics and procedure that's in line with his knowledge of the law and the US Constitution - namely nonexistent.

The Alabama GOP is told they better not go against the de Vattelists unless they want to find a horse head in their bed. Al Hendershot wants a delay to bring Dr. Orly into his case, the defendants and the judge both say "no". Birther Rep Harry Accornero gives a take on the New Hampshire birther press conference that bears only a slight resemblance to reality. And Dr. Orly has a no good, very bad, rotten day in Hawaii.

Dispatches from Birtherstan - 3-4 January 2012

In today's dispatches, "Politics Today" recycles parody. Two year in reviews from funny people. Lawrence Sellin tries to tell elected officials "ignore the facts and the law, just keep that scary black man off the ballot or else!!"

There's birtherism, and then there's REALLY crazy conspiracy theories. Some decisions in the upcoming Georgia Birther Ballot Jihad, including one that has become the latest Great White Hope to the birtherstani.

Birther elected officials in New Hampshire throw a mini-fit, and the result in the reality-based community is "meh". Dr. Orly shows her lack of legal understanding again. Swiftboat liar Jerome Corsi wants people to stop talking smack about his hunky sheriff - or at least keep their nose out of his abuses in office.

A motion to dismiss is filed in the Alabama Birther Ballot Jihad. And Lame Cherry seems to be either completely off the meds, or throwing in the towel. Or both.

Over the last four days I've had a few more people donate to my tip jar.

Quite honestly I'm humbled to know my writing is valued like that.

I was reluctant to put the tip jar up or comment on it, since the last thing I wanted to do was follow the birthers lead in constantly hitting up their followers for donations. It is not my intention to ever hit up my readers for money or do fundraising drives. If you want to, throw some money in. If you don't want to, enjoy the blog anyway.

Thanks to those who did donate though. As I said, it's a humbling experience.

Dispatches from Birtherstan - 31 December 2011 - 2 January 2012

In today's dispatches, happy new year and yes, the birthers are set to make 2012 as special as they have 2008 though 2011. Maybe even more so.

What a surprise, Dr. Kate lies AND spirals the drain. Thomas MacLeran has conversations with his cat. The Super Duper all praise de Vattel's holy name PAC gets all moist and excited over J. Mark Hatfield's demand to take depositions.

We have some examples of a minority making problems for the majority. An assortment of presidential death threats. Martha Trowbridge slips Mario Apuzzo some tongue action. The birtherstani 2% of New Hampshire's House of Representatives is upset over having been hold "no".

Dr. Orly wants the New Hampshire GOP to come throw out all those nasty people who told her "no". Oh, and she still wants money. No Sense Nancy continues show her love for family. Dr. Orly wants the "expert" opinion of Polland/Polarik. Reality Check Radio challenges the de Vallelists.

Tribble Mobility Scooter Donald Trump is one step closer to losing the 2012 presidential race. And at least jail is doing well for Walter Fitzpatrick's health.
