I think I just nailed it… Obama is trying to hook up “his people” with free health care and there aint no way in hell some people are going to let that happen
Crazy Eileen Must Never Have Been a Mother
I have been thinking about what you have to believe to be a birther. It must be hard to keep your head in it.
You have to believe that Obama’s Mother was crazy. You have to believe that she was quite pregnant and willingly flew to Kenya. She had to fly for something like two days on two or three different airlines. She had to fly like 3 segments on PanAm and 2 or 3 on East African Airways.
Yawn…Another Day, Another Armed Man Outside A Townhall Meeting
Things are getting crazy out there. For the third time in a week an armed citizen has been spotted outside a meeting where President Obama is going to speak on health care.

The Deep Roots of the Right Wing Crazy Tree
Rick Pearlstein wrote an amazing op-ed today, which shows how the wingnut crazy has been a persistent part of the political landscape throughout much of the 20th century. (I love the story about how the right thought of Truman and Roosevelt years as “20 years of treason”. Especially since the current expectation by their descendants is that history will rehabilitate BushCo in the way it rehabilitated Truman.) Pearlstein makes this point:
AP/News Journal Scoops The Word – Report Obama “Abandons” Public Option
Your liberal media. Today’s front page banner headline does not match the first paragraph of text – but what the fuck, it makes Obama look bad so it must be good journalism.
