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.

In the UK class is race.
