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.

It would be nice to see the right-wing radio dolts, like Beck, Limbaugh, Hannity just to name a few, get shown the door, and it would be great if happened today.

I’m not thrilled at all with The Huffington Post being bought out by AOL. Its a bad move, as I’m afraid that the liberal and progressive voices will slowly be silenced, and also the hits on Huffpo will most likely go down. They’re other websites to go to for great commentary and news with a leftist slant. There’s The Daily Beast, Crooks and Liars, Talking Points Memo, Reader Supported News just to name a few.
