Weekend: I have no idea. Stop asking hard questions, Perkins!

This is scary:

What's even scarier is if you break down the numbers not by party affiliation, but by region: [link]

And on the same subject, an excellent Bill Maher editorial: 'Birthers' must be stopped

And once these stories get out there, they're hard to stamp out because our media do such a lousy job of speaking truth to stupid. Vietnam, Iraq and the Spanish-American War were all sold on lies that were unchallenged or even abetted by the media. Clinton got impeached and Kerry got destroyed in large part because the media didn't have the guts to say, "This is nonsense."

...

That's why it's so important that we the few, the proud, the reality-based attack this stuff before it has a chance to fester and spread. This isn't a case of Democrats versus Republicans. It's sentient beings versus the lizard people, and it is to them I offer this deal: I'll show you Obama's birth certificate when you show me Sarah Palin's high school diploma.

After all the fun I had last weekend, this weekend is work, work, and more work.

Although I may take a break on Sunday and take Sara to get her ears her pierced.

SORRY!

But isn't the answer always going to be "spend time with my too adorable for words child"?

The weekend I just don't know. Probably some cleaning, hopefully some writing, maybe some video editing, and something with the kids though that will probably be cleaning since their rooms are in the crosshairs.

You know, I really believe that people should live and let live, and I don't like to get vitriolic, but ARE THESE BIRTHER PEOPLE IDIOTS?!?! I mean, it seems like a rational question since his father is not American, but after proof is produced, what the heck! I thought George Bush was an infantile egomaniacal moron who probably stole the election, but after the Supreme Court decided in his favor I shut up about it and concentrated on bitching about the actual things he was doing that I thought were wrong. Also, if you are going to get that worked up about something, why don't we make it something meaningful like I don't know, helping other people! Seriously, if you have that much energy to devote to getting worked up, go help a shelter or a soup kitchen make some money or help animals or Veterans or whatever group you believe in!

You know what I love?

Being told two months after I start a project that I did the initial part wrong because I didn't do something that I had never been told to do.

eta: it turned out not to matter, but still. We're information specialists. Try giving me the information I need.

Sophia, let's rant together.

I mean CONGRESS had to WASTE TIME PASSING A RESOLUTION AFFIRMING HIS CITIZENSHIP.

Has that *ever* happened to any other President? I can't find evidence of it.

I don't know where to send them, though - just somewhere ELSE, on the other side of a nice WALL (like in Rucker's SCIFI, we could exile them to Florida) and leave them there to stew in their own hypocrisy and madness.

This is why I plot to take over the world, BTW. I'm much saner than they are.

Well, yes! And her little dog, too.
