Today’s Tosser: Do You Even Have to Ask?
Now highlighting crackpot conspiracy theories about Obama’s birth certificate!
You see, Factcheck.org is funded by the Annenberg Foundation so it’s all a part of the conspiracy.
Very old timers in Chicago might get a chuckle out of the fact that FactCheck.org is funded by guess who? That’s right, Obama’s old pals at the Annenberg Foundation, the same outfit that gave Obama and Bill Ayers a lot of bucks to pass around to their pals such as Rev. Jeremiah Wright for “education reform” research. It gets better. The media always tells you Walter Annenberg was a great publisher, philanthropist, and a Nixon ambassador to London. Yup, he was all those things too, but his fortune first came from his Daddy, Mo Annenberg, when both father and son were mobsters in Chicago in the 20s and 30s.
Apparently this particular dunce cannot read either:
CLICK HERE to see the Annenberg funded FactCheck.org article defending Obama updated on Aug. 26. The article shows many pictures of what they say is the original certificate complete with laser printing unknown in 1961. CLICK HERE to read more about Mo and Walter Annenberg in a story from the Philadlphia City Paper in 2002.
So click to the article and what do you read:
You can click on the photos to get full-size versions, which haven’t been edited in any way, except that some have been rotated 90 degrees for viewing purposes.
The certificate has all the elements the State Department requires for proving citizenship to obtain a U.S. passport: “your full name, the full name of your parent(s), date and place of birth, sex, date the birth record was filed, and the seal or other certification of the official custodian of such records.” The names, date and place of birth, and filing date are all evident on the scanned version, and you can see the seal above.
The document is a “certification of birth,” also known as a short-form birth certificate. The long form is drawn up by the hospital and includes additional information such as birth weight and parents’ hometowns. The short form is printed by the state and draws from a database with fewer details. The Hawaii Department of Health’s birth record request form does not give the option to request a photocopy of your long-form birth certificate, but their short form has enough information to be acceptable to the State Department. We tried to ask the Hawaii DOH why they only offer the short form, among other questions, but they have not given a response.
One gets the sense that the folks at Illinois Review are ripe for giving very nice Nigerians bank account information.

Yes, you know all those radicals given the Presidential Medal of Freedom by that crazy socialist, St. Ronald of Tampico.

Arch,
I’ve probably missed it, but can you talk about who might be appointed to take Obama’s senate seat when he wins next week. Who really wants to be Blogo’s person when the seat comes up to a vote, but he won’t/can’t name a Madigan soldier? It appears that Lisa is aiming for Gov. so who’s the smart money on?
Thanks.

Handled right, the Fed District Court throwing out Berg for lack of standing can present a political check-mate “win” on appeal for the anti-Obama side (if not in law, in the Court of Public Opinion). Here’s how: SIMPLY SPREAD AROUND OBAMA’S APPELLATE BRIEF HAVING TO ARGUE AGAINST AN AMERICAN VOTER’S RIGHT TO RAISE THE QUESTION UNDER THE CONSTITUTION. Should be a PR disaster for the Dems and Obama!!!

In Missouri, you take the standard Missouri Health Dept. Vital Records request form and write in black ink with yellow highlighter or red ink “For Genealogical Purposes” at the top of the form and in the box requesting purpose of copy. There are no instructions on the form to do this. The dept. treats the long form like a big secret. You pretty much have to know someone doing genealogy or legal research to know about long form birth certificates in Missouri. The form gets mailed with the fee to Jefferson City and in 2-6 months you may get a copy, though possibly not the long form you requested.
