Army recommends 'birther' for promotion

Although this article is not written in a good light for the 1st LT Easterling, I found it very telling about the now widespread knowledge once only known to a "fringe" group called "birthers". A group that I have been a proud member of since the start of this blog.

From the Examiner.com Boston

In a stunning display of latent disrespect for President Barack Obama and a complete disregard for the good order and discipline of the U.S. Armed Forces, the Army has recommended "birther", 1LT Scott Easterling for promotion. In February of this year, the Tennessee native joined forces with "birther" attorney Orly Taitz and wrote a widely-reported letter calling President Obama a "usurper" and "impostor" because he did not believe the President was a natural-born citizen. At the time, many believed that 1LT Easterling had jeopardized his career and possibly his freedom for violating the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) which clearly prohibits publicly insulting the integrity of the President of the United States; instead he got an "administrative reprimand", also known as a slap on the wrist.

Sesame Street's Big Bird With a Big Question..

I certainly didn't see the episode but apparently this is real. Big Bird asked Michelle Obama "Maybe you’re here to finally show us your husband’s United States birth certificate", Michelle's says no, and then Big Bird say's "That's because you can't!" I need to investigate this further but watch the video. It starts slow but it is worth it.

Apparently this is a parody made to be funny. So laughing at the fact that one can usurp the office of the President is now OK?
