    Hey now, it took the tea potters a long time to make that sign. But I thought Idaho was much more scenic than that. :hmm:

    That sign is hilarious :D

    By the way the little thing under Kenya sounds like "Iowa" phonetically :lol:

    Actually, the sign is perfectly right.

    Barack Hussain Obama was born in Kenya, that is beyond any reasonable doubt. Then again, who cares? He's not the US president, Barack Hussain Obama II is ;) .

    I didn't know they wrote english in Kenya until my mother-in-law pointed out that it was a british colony for a long time. According to this, though, Arabic is getting more popular.

    Yep it's becoming popular alright. More than 15,000 out of 35 million :lol:

    By the way, I don't know what language that is on the sign, but it's not Arabic. Uses the same alphabet (and I assume the same phonetics) though. I would've thought it was Swahili (or one of the variants noted in NOG's link), seeing as it's the official language of the country, except that Kenya has been using the latin alphabet for Swahili for a long time now. Of course there is the possibility the sign doesn't even exist and whoever made the picture just arranged a random set of arabic letters (and judging by the calligraphy I'm tempted to go with this option)

    Still funny though :)

    Sorry, I just had to post this. I know this is tacky and snarky and all, but it was just too funny:

    That kind of struck me like questioning a rape victim about their sex life.

    News from the Birther Queen!

    (Unsurprisingly) Appeals Court Upholds $20,000 Fine Against Orly Taitz
    Also, she is running for be the Republican candidate for the office of California's secretary of state, responsible for election (oh dear). She told WorldNetDaily that if elected, she will use her office to pursue an investigation of Obama's citizenship. Unsurprisingly.

    I just saw this post. It's equal parts humorous and sad.

    Yay! Orly was one of two candidates I got to choose between in the primary for California Secretary of State. How pathetic is that? I get to choose between a lunatic and an NFL jock.

    Must be a pretty crappy job if only two people are running for it, and nobody is willing to be the third candidate when the other two are so lame.

    Yeah, it's not a very interesting job; at least it doesn't seem complicated either so should be hard to screw up.

    After losing her bid to become California Secretary of State - she got (scarily enough) 368.000 votes - Orly Taitz is focusing again on that $ 20.000 fine Judge Land has imposed on her: She is refusing to pay, and has carried her appeal to ... the supreme court, sort of:
    I find it hilarious that she, after having her motion denied, concludes that the letter she received must have been ... forged (my conclusion since she apparently questions the authenticity of Chief Justice John Roberts' signature) ... because such things (her reasonable motions being denied) don't happen on the Supreme Court.

    Also unresolved are her issues with the complain filed against her with the California bar. So we'll keep on hearing from her.

    The Supreme Court has upheld the $20,000 fine against Orly:
    I'm curious whether she'll pay the fine.

    Orly Taitz mulls a Senate Run - because she speaks Spanish and Hebrew:

    She's a dentist too? How funny is that?

    I haven't seen her mentioned in the news lately, but I can't imagine Feinstein losing to a crazy person even though I can't stand Feinstein.

    Oh, FFS - won't she go away? Although i guess she needs a new career - wasn't she de-barred a while back?

    Eh, this is nutpicking. I don't think Taitz is even a nuisance-level threat to anyone anymore.
