Prove It
Eugene Robinson has wrote an essay in Truthout, about the birtherism crap. He makes some very good points, and I agree, that it still bothers quite a few people that Obama is president. Obama won the 2008 election hands down, so the birther morons should get a life.
Palin on the Debt Ceiling
Sarah Palin the world renown economist, said on Fox News (where else), “Hell No” to raising the debt ceiling. Of course she went on and on and…well you get the picture.

Solar highways.
What would it be like to drive on an interstate highway, made of glass and solar? There’s a small company in highway which is working on the concept. I think it has potential, but would it cost to build one, is the big question.

Donald Trump Takes Up Birthers’ Obama College Conspiracy Theory
Orly Taitz, the queen of birther, is at it again, saying she has proof that Obama only went to Columbia University for only one year, which is a lie. She also wants to know how he got into Harvard.
What’s next with her, Donald Trump and the other loose cannons; proof that he has a driver’s license, lived in Chicago? It’s totally insane with these people.

Afraid To Face Angry Voters, Rep. Paul Ryan Sneaks Out A Back Door After Raucous Town Hall
Paul Ryan can take the heat at his ‘town hall meetings’ as he slipped out another door after the meeting was over, because the car he came in was surrounded by angry protesters. He also got upset, because the people in the hall, were getting loud, and he asked them to tone it down, or else they can leave. But it was alright when the Democrats were being heckled and shouted down, by the Tea Party jerks.
