Quick, someone prove to me that Barack Obama was born in the USA. (No, really. I am mystified as to the existence of this debate, so there has to be some question or something, right? You can't just point me to something that will convince me?)
'Touched'
Natter 64: Yes, we still need you
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I need goofy fun after today.
How about Beaker, the Swedish Chef, and Animal singing "Habanera"?
Or maybe Beaker performing "Ode to Joy"?

That's a good point, Jessica.
Damn skippy.
Birth certificate scans + newspaper announcements.
GASP. Barack Obama is actually Barack Hussein Obama II! Whyyyy has he removed the "II" from his name? Is he planning on turning the country into some BACKWARDS SOCIALIST MONARCHY?
Of course, the other half of the birther poll story is the dramatic difference in regional breakdown:
..............Yes No Not sure
Northeast.....93 4 3
South.........47 23 30
Midwest.......90 6 4
West..........87 7 6
I don't know about the other regions, but California for damn sure has a ton of Republicans (I imagine they're not exactly unheard of in the Midwest either), so the 87% (and 90%) "Yes, duh, obviously he was born here" stat has to include plenty of them. So the birthiness is really heavily concentrated in just one region.
Stands proud as a reality-based Southern person. We few, we happy few...
