For djheru, you've made my day. I swear, I started giggling when I saw the name Oily tits. I think that is a very appropriate name for an insane crazypecker. You know, like Truthsayer, such a loveable name for a completely crazy person. Anyway, the birth certificate as already been shown as well as birth announcement and now this. Let's hope the birthers can do more productive things. You know, solve the two wars, try to get healthcare for everyone, and trying to get a job. Clearly, people go insane when they have lots and lots of time on their hands.

Conan and Shatner are on to something. That speech definitely sounds better as a poem than something comprised of full length sentences. I can see that being done at a coffeehouse gig. I look forward to more entertainment poetry from Sarah Palin.

Oh the poor white Beck! I'm laughing out of humor and fear. Fear because people who are brain dead will actually believe Beckhead and take him seriously. I could write a whole speech on how wrong Beckturd is and how reserve racism is actually the republican white man suddenly having others, who are not like them of course, in the same turf as them and have more power than them. After all, segregation ended about 40 years ago. Wow, how time flies by.

Oh if that happens, I look forward so much to the stupidity that comes out of that show. On the other hand, my head will blow up if I bother to listen to her crackling voice for more than 10 minutes. So I'm afraid I'll have to listen to the tortured souls who are forced to listen to her crap for four hours.

Ok, pictures of babies are cool. Just keep them away from my cake!

Wow, this is a laugh indeed. The first person to defend the southern GOP is Vitter? If that's the best you elephants got along with Palin, you guys are so doomed. I meam, come on now! You guys are practically giving your opponents ammo to shoot with. I almost feel sorry for the GOP...almost.

Frankly, I'm not listening to anyone who has the last name "Cheney". That last name is code for "do the exact opposite". Also, their DNA is consistent of pure evil. I don't think so.

I'm nominating that quote as one of the dumbest quotes of the year. That and the person who said it to be ruler of douchebaggery. I agree with earlier posts, expose the organizers and where they are getting their funds. Since these people are so against intelligence, I don't think it should be a problem finding out these facts. Dumba**es can only go so far without being caught.

::clapping:: Yay Bill! Such awesomeness! I hope Euna and Laura have a safe and swift trip back home It's so much nicer to read this than all of the birther bulls**t. Oh, and John Bolton can shut his mustache taint up too.

Like a lot of people from Scrub's administration, most of the words that come out of the mouth just isn't worth listening to. His whole employment was a complete joke. He hired to be an ambassador to the U.N. (during a congressional recess) and he hates the U.N. to begin with. Would anyone want to deal with someone who they know already hates them? And like a lot of Scrub's people, he still maintains a bully state of mind and then whines endlessly when they don't get what they want (that sounds a lot like the state of Republicans today). I don't think it's ever crossed his mind that violence and threats sometimes don't work when it comes to diplomacy. The man was part of the shredding of American's foreign relations during the last eight year. He doesn't have credibility anymore and just doesn't fit in the politics of the present day except as a mouthpiece to Scrub's rotten legacy. No wonder I get him confused with Michael Bolton sometimes. At least, he has a somewhat decent voice.

Wow! This is awesomeness! Thank you for the link, Alex. I can have my own very forged, obvious fake Kenyan birth certificate too (going right next to my Master degree, of course). Also, I like how I'm 48 (instead of my natural age of 29) and I like how Obama is now my father. Now everyone can be born in Kenya! Oh, you silly birthers! Eat your insane brains out!

Thank you Andrew for the fascinating and well-written article. I've never heard of Cahokia before and it's right in the American South. I'm not sure if the ruins are available to the public, I think would be interesting for a road trip to take a look at them (except the 900 year old landfill, which I don't want to smell, ew). I hope more articles like this come from Salon in the future. Great read!

No. I would not marry Don Draper. That kind of attitude may have been acceptable then, but now, that kind of man would not be hesitated to be called an assh**e. And I am not afraid to say it to a "mad man's" face either. Mad = Crazy (not the good kind either).

Actually, the videos were horrible. She's not getting an emmy anytime soon.

Out of the news from the crazy birthers and the renewal of the "Brooks Brothers" protesters and the GOP's organized mobs, this is another nice piece of news I am welcome to. Oh no! Watch out red mobs! There's a Latina woman on the supreme court.

But every time I see Orly's name, I always think oily taint. Excuse my profanity.
