• Ariz. Secretary of State Threatens to Keep Obama’s Name Off Ballot Without Birth Certificate Verification

  May 18, 2012 at 1:54pm

  In reply to kickagrandma.

  Glenn & crew’s insistence on mocking those of us with doubts about his provenance is truly disappointing – and easily rebutted.

  1. The TWO newspapers who printed announcements of his birth did so as a matter of routine vital records lists’ HI health sent out. NOBODY had to ask for them to be printed.

  2. Obama’s sister, Maya, one of the few relatives on his side (vs. Michelle’s) of the family he’s allowed to be seen in public (perhaps the only one, I’m not sure) posted on her FB page in 2010 that Obama had been adopted by his step-father in Indonesia, which would VOID his “natural born” citizenship status. She was THERE. She was the product of the marriage between Lolo Soetero and Ann Dunham. I grant you that the word “adopted” may not be a legal term of art the way she used it, so there is a shadow of a doubt, but, regardless, she posted it.

  3. As Glenn so often says (in so many words) ‘All you gotta do is think like a normal person’ – Imagine you are a white Kansan in Indonesia with a little black boy from a man who ABANDONED you. You are in love. You can‘t get him into the school of your choice unless he’s an Indonesian. You’re a young bride, and think you can paper over your heartbreak by having your new husband adopt “Barry” and once Maya comes along, nobody would ever know that your two children didn’t belong to Ann & Lolo Soetero and the family picture is perfect.

  4. There are SIGNFICANT problems with the long form birth certificate.

• Georgia Law Blocks Autistic Student From Graduating

  May 13, 2012 at 9:50am

  We have the MCAS here in MA with same requirements, but my autistic 13 year old is able to take a “modified” math portion. She takes the regular English, but the state allows children with disabilities to test, but in a way they “understand” – It’s still rigorous, and has very strict rules, but I don‘t understand why GA can’t do same….

• Horse Collapses and Dies After Winning $150K Race

  May 13, 2012 at 9:47am

  In reply to kcinco.

  I don’t usually cry at stories like this, but I am weeping as I type this… My daughters ride, so I know horses. I’ve been around them for a decade now. These animals don’t want anything but to be loved. They will do ANYTHING for an owner they have bonded with (though they are famously stubborn about some things, I know.)

  This horse died doing what he thought he was supposed to do for his owner, whom he loved – or at least his groom, or handler, or trainer whom he loved.

  The poor precious baby. It’s heartbreaking, truly…

  This is a BARBARIC sport. That at what they do to those poor animals in rodeos.

  HOW can we DO this? How? God…

  So sad…

• New Super 8 Footage of Challenger Shuttle Disaster Surfaces

  March 10, 2012 at 12:39pm

  When a crew costing thousands of $$ an hour stops work to watch TV, you know something serious has happened. – Coming in from the freezing cold sidewalk of a boxing ring in Dorchester where I was a college-intern “doorman” for a Boston ad agency called “Duck Productions” (You can’t make this stuff up) I saw a crowd of people standing around the side of the ring – DOING NOTHING. If you’ve ever been on an ad shoot, you know that never EVER happens. Time is big BIG money. We stood and watched, in horror, what happened for about 20 minutes, then back to work. I’ll never forget it. I‘ll also never forget Reagan’s beautiful ref to “touching the face of God.” (If you just Google “touch the face of God” in quotes, it’s the first one, and tells the touching story of the young aviator who wrote the poem.) Here it is:

  Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
  And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
  Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
  Of sun-split clouds, — and done a hundred things
  You have not dreamed of — wheeled and soared and swung
  High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there,
  I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung
  My eager craft through footless halls of air. . . .

  Up, up the long, delirious burning blue
  I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
  Where never lark, or ever eagle flew —
  And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
  The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
  Put out my hand, and t

• Want to See Who Is Tracking You on the Internet in Real-Time?

  March 3, 2012 at 4:25am

  Uh… The Ford Foundation is financing this “privacy” thing? They are a known CIA front – the very same one Tim Geithner‘s father Peter worked for in Indonesia in the late ’60‘s early ’70′s when he met one S. Anne Dunham, a.k.a. Obama’s mother.

  Not sure we’re all set here, gang…

• Beck‘s ’New Theory’: Economic Collapse Will Move From Europe to U.S. to World

  January 25, 2012 at 5:24am

  In reply to Alliett.

  Let me add this thought to my countryman’s complaint about time investment:

  I miss being able to count on his first 20 minutes as must see tv. I don’t HAVE 2 hours to invest every night, no matter how essential I find the information being presented. Is there some way to perhaps have a return to the structure we could count on so we can manage our time investment more productively? Perhaps 30 minute monologue, another 30 with Glenn expanding on it, then perhaps an “opt out” for the second hour when you do something else to flesh it out further?

  I’m in. I’m not going ANYWHERE and will HAPPILY keep my subscription alive simply to support a voice in the wilderness, as it were, but yer killin me! I don’t even watch anymore! I just rely on what I hear on the radio show now to direct me there if I feel I have to see something, and even then, I feel I get enough on radio…

  BLESS the work you ALL do.

• Do Babies Read Lips?

  January 17, 2012 at 8:48am

  Doesn’t surprise me in the slightest. As an adult with Aspergers (high functioning autism) and an auditory processing delay, as well as high frequency hearing loss (!), all of which have been diagnosed while I have been in my 40′s, I realize I have been “listening with my eyes” my whole life.

  If I can’t SEE someone talking, I haven’t got a prayer. Turns out, it‘s because I’m watching their mouth. (Typical for an Aspie not to take in the whole facial/body expression. It’s a kind of literal thing. That’s where the sound comes from!)

  But even that neurotypical babies do it makes perfect sense for the very same reason! That’s where the sound comes from! And watching a person’s lips form around sounds/words is an additional aid for their young brains to process & understand what’s going on.

  Smart little bugs, huh?

  Besides, Target is a French owned company, isn’t it? Where “The Coming Insurrection” was written, right?

• Herman Cain Fights Tears On Stage Discussing Cancer Diagnosis

  In reply to eddie333.

  I haven’t abandoned him! I’m voting for him with gusto! There‘s nothing he lacks as a man of deep principle he can’t learn from a briefing book – as opposed to Obama, for whom there aren’t enough briefing books in the world. I don‘t care if he’s not a tv president. I want him alone, with his principles, in the Oval Office – TV BE DAMNED.

  You watch… He’ll do okay in Iowa, okay in N.H., then the media will write his obituary then he will WIN SOUTH CAROLINA AND FLORIDA.

  Remember where you heard it first ;)
