Birthers Question Existence of Obama

Birthers Question Existence of Obama

The so-called "Birther" movement turned up the volume today as one of its leaders questioned for the first time the very existence of President Barack Obama.

"We need proof that Barack Obama exists," said Birther leader Orly Taitz in an appearance on Fox News. "In my mind he's about as real as a unicorn."

While most Americans still believe that President Obama exists, a new poll shows that most self-described Birthers agree with the statement, "Barack Obama is not a real person and is probably just a hologram or something."

At a White House press conference today, President Obama refused to answer a question about whether he did not exist, saying, "I'm not going to try to prove a negative."

2. It should be: I think therefore I scream.
Of course in the case of the birfers, screaming isn't reliant on thinking, nor even the ability to think.

3. I would bet there will be some out there who will go along with this.
The depth of their stupidity is immeasurable.

6. There's crazy,
And then there is total bat-shit crazy. Some people seem to enjoy fluctuating back and forth.

9. I said that once to a Philosophy professor
The three new faculty members were meeting with the Dean and the Philosophy Professor's paperwork was missing is some fashion, so I asked her "Are you sure you exist?" since that was how my intro to Philosophy class began. It got a good laugh from all present.

But time slips away, leaves you with nothing mister, but boring stories of glory days.

That, and Bruce Springsteen quotes.


Now I am gonna have to go rent a copy of "Dave".
