    And I am the Queen of Rumania

    Barack Obama is a Muslim..and as Dorothy Parker wrote, " I am the Queen of Rumania." The malicious and utterly stupid lies circulating on the internet only serve to emphasize the extent of the ignorance in this country and how little the media has done to dispel them. So long as the mainstream news organizations are the willing mouthpieces of the corporate world, and as we saw with the run-up to the Iraq invasion, they remain unwilling to speak truth to power, we can expect more of the same.
