Distrust but verify

Thu., May 5, 2011

Osama bin Laden dead? I don’t believe it. The body disposed of at sea? How convenient. Why should we believe this president who for so long kept the facts of his birth from us?

I urge all true-believing tea partiers to demand that John Boehner, Donald Trump, Michelle Bachmann and Sarah Palin put pressure on the president to produce a death certificate, the long form, of course. And I want it written in Farsi.
