Blurb: “Recovery? What Recovery?”

Review: “Good read but much of the information contained within is now a little outdated. For example, one of the suggestions is to move investments to Europe but those markets have crashed as well.”

Aftershock [Fuck Amazon]

[ Flash video not available. ]

In a week where we’ve seen Idiocracy referenced even more than usual, it’s fitting that MTV has released a preview for the return this fall of Mike Judge’s original idiots, Beavis and Butt-Head. Cowacornhole, dude!

While the rest of America has been fretting about, um, real issues — or at least made-up issues with very real consequences — WorldNetDaily has remained steadfast in its investigation of the Kenyan Usurper:

Computer scanning expert Doug Vogt and typesetting expert Paul Irey say they will accompany attorney Orly Taitz when she presents to the Hawaii Department of Health a subpoena that should allow her to examine Barack Obama’s original 1961 typewritten birth certificate.

If you recall the knee-jerk reaction after Barack Obama released the long-form certificate — you’ll be forgiven if you’ve forgotten, since he took out Public Enemy #1 a few days later — it was provided to the public as a PDF file, which Birthers rushed to inspect and deconstruct.

And in the same manner that folks proved that the Dick Tweet couldn’t possibly be Weiner’s wiener, Digital Experts have declared that the PDF is a malicious construction, rather than containing simple scanning artifacts.

WND has provided screaming headlines about this daily, which we’ve been ignoring, because sometimes you just have to let go. But now that America’s Favorite Demon Dentist is on the case, it might be worth microwaving some popcorn. Lord knows we could use the distraction right about now.

The birth certificate please! Subpoena to be delivered [WND]
